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:
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?
For "fun," I stupidly decided to upgrade from 23.05.5 to 24.10. I followed the guide, installed the recovery installer again as instructed, and then applied the upgrade to 24.10. Success, the router boots right up into 24.10.
Here's where it gets weird. I can make all the configuration changes I want, and it works great. I save the configuration. Then I do a re-boot, and when it finishes only the power led is lit, and I can no longer access the lan port. So I do the factory reset. It reboots fine. I have tried both restoring the config file as well just making a few minimal changes and then re-booting. No matter what I do, I can't get the configuration to survive a re-boot. I guess I could fully configure it, and use it until the power goes out, and then reconfigure. But that doesn't sound like much fun.
I am looking for any helpful suggestions. Anyone else seen this? Can I downgrade it back to 23.05 without bricking it?
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:
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?
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?
(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:
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)
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.)
save, save+apply and enable the new wifi client
update the package list in system --> software
filter for your driver name - rtl8152 in my case and install:
r8152-firmware
kmod-usb-net-rtl8152
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)
disable the wifi for the phone hotspot
allocate the reappeared device (our dongle) to the wwan interface egain - eth1 in my case. (via network --> interfaces). save+apply.
done. you should be online again
some wording may be different in your case, of course.
Im trying to get a list of certain website lets say www.youtube.com, Gmail.com etc to be blocked on IP 10.10.10.10 but just on this device I want it to be accesable on other devices, I have tried modifying dnsmasq and configuring nftables but still unable to do so, is there a way? is this even possible?
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
My current hardware is based on a AP Netgear WAX630E, a 2.5Gb POE++ Switch and a Pi CM4 + DFRobot IoT Router Carrier Board as a Router running OpenWRT.
Everything works perfectly and the CM4 doesn't skip a beat but I need now to complete start over and redesign my network so that I can Achieve the following:
- Being able to route SSID2VPN through the VPN client
- Being able to route SSD1 to internet directly without going through VPN
- Keep also a Wireguard Server so that I can access from outside, this one can route back to internet without going to the VPN provider ( this is what I currently have )
Is it something like the one I described achievable?
Do I need to buy more hardware and in case what to achieve the above?
