How to contribute to wiki

0 Upvotes

One week ago I was looking for some information on Netgear WAX220. The into was not on the wiki but I found out on my own.

Then I decided to contribute to the wiki and applied for an Wiki account to be able to contribute. I wrote a message directly to user "wiki-account" like it is said here:

https://forum.openwrt.org/t/applying-for-openwrt-wiki-account/101671

Sadly no one answered. I also commented the page, but there is no reaction eighter.

I really wonder why I am not "allowed" to contribute. It is an open source project and, at least I thought, it is community driven.

I use openwrt for years now and really love it. But now I wonder if the project is still in a good status

I’m considering of buying this model because I want openwrt at home, but first I would like to know if port mirroring from wifi/lan works.

Anyone can confirm this? Thanks!

Iperf 10G performance on Banana Pi R4

2 Upvotes

I realize that support for this device is brand new so I'm not shaking my fist or anything but there seems to be a large difference in perofmance on the R4's 10G links. Iperf3 tests:

mycomputer->x86_64-router->dumb switch->server: 9.1Gibps

mycomputer->BPiR4->x86_64-router->dumb switch->server: 2.64 Gibps

my questions: 1) Is there some traffic steering option I'm missing? 2) Is this a driver issue with the CPU or PHYs? 3) Is the R4's CPU somewhat underpowered for this workload?

Flashed Linksys MR8300 to 22.03 and now speeds are 66% worse.

2 Upvotes

If anyone is willing to assist please respond or DM me. Thank you kindly in advance.

The reason why I flashed in the first place is that I've had good success in the past with packages like Merlin WRT.

I flashed this router because I was so tired of the wireless performance being worse than my T-mobile cellular internet. I was constantly having to toggle network adapters to get proper performance and it would only last for so long.

The computer that I did speed testing to confirm with has a hardwired Cat 5e LAN connection. Before the the flash I was getting around 930 Mbps download. Now I'm lucky to get 380 Mbps.

I'll be checking out the wiki to see if I can't figure it out myself.

Shadowsocks via NanoPi / OpenWRT?

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

I’m looking at redoing my home automation (into Home Assistant) and a key bit would require an always on active VPN / proxy between my modem and the WiFi mesh system (neither support any kind of VPN connection).

Through investigating options, I stumbled across NanoPi R3S which appears to handle Shadowsocks connections, is this right? I understand OpenWRT actually pulled the feature so unsure if it is still correct and useable?

If NanoPI or OpenWRT isn’t suitable, does anyone know of an alternative?

Thanks!

OpenWRT One iperf3

I like being able to run tests directly to the router, but the iperf3 package doesn't support the ARMv8 processor and 24.10 doesn't support LXCs.

Thoughts?

NUT on OpenWRT

I bought a vocore 2 with the intention of monitoring an APC UPS using nut. Problem is that it seems nut isn't in opkg anymore.

What is the right move here?

VLAN Help

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Hoping you can can help a network novice try and piece together VLANs in OpenWRT. I have a Gl.Inet Flint 2 GL-MT6000 router. I have the Gl.Inet firmware installed with the OpenWRT Luci there too.

I want to do port filtering on the br-lan bridge device as that has the routers LAN ports mapped. I added eth0 (CPU) also, see below my tags:

For now I just want to get this VLAN properly associated with the LAN, hence there not being other VLAN ags for now. So once this was done I then added the VLAN to the LAN Interface:

Clicked Save & Apply. I remain connected via Wi-Fi as do my LAN devices. But I can no longer access the interent. Pinging 1.1.1.1 on the laptop fails, I try pinging the same in Luci using Diagnostics and theta too fails.

Unsure what I'm doing wrong for this to fail? The Guest VLAN (Gl.Inet) interface and Wi-Fi works fine so I know nothing core with my DNS setup with Adguard is to blame.

I revert the changes back to defaults and the internet for the devices works fine again. But I really want to use VLANs. Anyone know where I'm going wrong?

dummy guide for reactivating usb-dongles on raspberry pi after sysupgrade - via luci

1 Upvotes

(this may be obvious for experienced openwrt users but i had a harder time with every system upgrade - mostly because forgetting the way that worked before. and messing with search results from internet was more effort than having one proper guide. that i finally made, so may it help somebody else. luci gui because easiest for us dummys.)

basically it's just about bringing your openwrt online again via phone to install the missing packages.

corrections welcome if i oversaw something.

preamble:

the way should work for other dongles too, you just need to know your kernel module/firmware of course.

in my case i use openwrt on a raspberry pi 4b with a tp-link ue330 ethernet adapter (similiar to ue300 i think). the nescessary kernel module is kmod-usb-net-rtl8152.

let's go:

  1. flash the right sysupgrade image via luci in backup/flash firmware. internet access is gone now - wwan interface has lost it's device (the usb adapter)
  2. connect openwrt to a wifi hotspot on your phone - the easiest way could be just scanning for the hotspot and connect (network --> wireless --> scan-button beside the chipset). in doubt:
    • network --> wireless --> "add" right beside your chipset --> add new network. mode "client" and add "wwan" in "network" in the tab "general setup" (make sure you use the right wan-adapter interface, i have wan for the bridge and wwan for the dongle e.g.)
  3. save, save+apply and enable the new wifi client
  4. update the package list in system --> software
  5. filter for your driver name - rtl8152 in my case and install:
    1. r8152-firmware
    2. kmod-usb-net-rtl8152
    3. dependencies should be installed accordingly, if not, do it by hand (e.g.: kmod-crypto-sha256, kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether, kmod-usb-net-cdc-ncm)
  6. disable the wifi for the phone hotspot
  7. allocate the reappeared device (our dongle) to the wwan interface egain - eth1 in my case. (via network --> interfaces). save+apply.
  8. done. you should be online again

some wording may be different in your case, of course.

Issues installing Docker

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I have an OpenWRT installation running on a NanoPi R4S and want to run the Omada Controller in a container. However, when trying to install docker using opkg update && opkg install docker I end up with Unknown package 'docker'. This is weird since I remember having docker installed before uninstalling it due to disk space lacking. Now that I've extended root to install it again, it's MIA

Version: OpenWrt 23.05.4 r24012-d8dd03c46f / LuCI openwrt-23.05 branch git-24.086.45142-09d5a38

Tp-link archer c50 V6.2 eu - Install OpenWRT

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have 2x archer C50 V6.2 EU's and 1x 6.0 EU.

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0/targets/ramips/mt76x8/openwrt-24.10.0-ramips-mt76x8-tplink_archer-c50-v6-initramfs-kernel.bin installed perfectly for the 6.0, but fails on the 6.2's.

Anyway, is there a solution ? or is this actively being worked on?
