Bought a new router (GLi Net Flint 2) which broke my headless Pi SSH connection. Took me a while to realise the Pi doesn't support WPA3. Still working on it... Last night I had to work on the TV as the new router also broke the wifi remote control (IR receiver is broken) connection... Found out that using a keyboard with an Android TV is very unintuitive (it's a Sony Bravia).

Ah... networking. Every time I learn a little bit more!

GL-iNet silently changed shipment dates for their Mudi 7 router preorders. What a shame.

shit, I just realized Trump's #RouterBan presumably includes #GLiNet products.

The Ultimate Wi-Fi 6 Remote Access KVM I’ve Been Waiting For — GLiNet Comet KVM Pro 🚀

Dear fedi, I’m thinking on replacing some #networking hardware at my place. I need an #AccessPoint and another piece working as a #WiFi6 client for 2 PCs and a SteamLink, no need for mesh.

Considering
• GL.iNet Flint 2 for the AP,
#Mikrotik hAP ax² for the client.

Does this look OK? Other options worth considering? I like that #GLiNet uses #OpenWRT.

#Router

Die Anschaffung des Mobilen Router war auf jedenfall die richtige Wahl.
Das Gerät hängt im Hotel WLAN und ich verbinde meine Geräte damit.
Zusätzlich hab ich dann noch ne VPN-Verbindung zu meinen Servern und nach Hause.
Achso und AdGuard läuft auch noch darauf.

I have a small NZXT PC case and a 2U graphics card covers all of the PCI-e brackets.

To mount #glinet ATX board, I had to design an adapter. One of the unused 2.5" drive mounts are the perfect place for this. #kvm #3dprinting

I've recently started to play around with #GLiNet devices; I've now got the Flint 2 as my home router (I decided to upgrade when I was switching ISP) and it's been great. I also have a couple of travel routers but my favourite one is the Slate 7 (although in my opinion, the Beryl AX is just as useful in real-world travel scenarios). The screen on the Slate 7 is good to use as a clock in a hotel room at night and for displaying a QR code to join the relevant wifi network it's created.

These travel routers work very well when you find a LAN port to connect them to (even stealing the telephone or TV LAN connection works well).

I've set the routers up as Wireguard clients and although the Flint 2 can act as a Wireguard server (the UI is very nice), I worry about having it cope with this as well as routing other internet traffic. Instead, I have a Wireguard server running on one of my Linux servers.

Received today my new toy 🤩
A nice GL.iNet Flint 2 (GL-MT6000)

I haven't decided yet whether I'll stay with the stock/stable firmware from GL.iNet (based on OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT :v), Or switch to the one based on OpenWrt 24... Or go to the Vanilla OpenWrt firmware.
(I'm open to suggestions)

But so far... WiFi is at least 10x faster with a quick test compared to my ISP box :o

Time to do some proper testing... And then plug internet directly to it :D

Beryl 7 (dual-band WiFi 7 travel router) is also now available, which claims ~1Gbps Wireguard and OpenVPN performance, with a MediaTek CPU:

while it looks like Beryl 7 will launch with firmware based on a proprietary SDK based on OpenWrt 21.02, the fact that it's a MediaTek CPU and based on prior history with #GLiNet, the case is promising for future support for a version of GLi's firmware based on recent OpenWrt, and eventual mainline #OpenWrt support.

for what it's worth, WiFi 7 support on OpenWrt isn't exactly fully baked yet with other hardware either.

I'm very interested in this one, as I use Beryl AX freqeuently while traveling and it works well. I just wish Beryl 7 was tri-band... and available in other colors.
