Anyone know why opening #IPv6 ports on #GoogleWifi might be failing for me? I have IPv6 service from my ISP (sonic.net - they're awesome!) and have a web server set up on my #RaspberryPi.

Requests from outside my network sent to the pi's IPv6 GUA keep failing, even though I have ports 80 and 443 open for the pi in the "Port Management" section of the google home app. Requests made to that same IPv6 GUA work fine within my network.

(I also have IPv4 port forwarding set up on that same page, and that seems to work fine to forward requests made to my router's external IPv4 address to the pi, so I could simply not set up an AAAA record and move forward with only IPv4 access to my server, but I'd prefer having a working dual-stack setup!)

Gah. Wasted a day sorting out a #GoogleWifi network issue; as part of a cleanup process, I restricted the DHCP server from issuing IPs in a certain range. A bit later on I found that some devices were being assigned non-routable IPs and I couldn't add satellite pucks.

These were not unrelated events but it took hours to diagnose the relationship. Yeah, wifi's DHCP was *still* trying to assign IPs from the forbidden range, even when told not to, but failed (quietly) when doing so. What a maroon.

My Google Wifi Pro 6E keeps disconnecting every now and then (~once a week). I am going to see if Costco can take it back, but I’d like to hear thoughts on what everyone likes these days as a 6E mesh system.

ipq806x: Initial TP-Link and ASUS OnHub support Ā· openwrt/openwrt@ef649b0

TP-Link and ASUS OnHub devices are very similar, sharing many of the same characteristics and much of their Device Tree. They both run a version of ChromeOS for their factory firmware, and so insta...

I really wish the wifi section of #GoogleHome app gets some love. The design is meh and some features like grouping devices, searching by mac or IP address, hiding random guest devices which connected at some point, etc. would be welcome. #smarthome #nest #nestwifi #googlewifi #meshrouter
Bye , bye #GoogleWifi , hello Pfsense. I am not a fan of Tp-Link ties with the Chinese government, but at least I can disable the routing mode and put a firewall behind it. #pfsense, #HomeNetwork, #infosec
#openwrt is really really cool. It is now more than I week I'm using it @home and I will never get back to the #googlewifi stock firmware. I love having control over what is happening @ home.

OpenVPN on Google WiFi via OpenWRT

In 2022 the OpenWrt community released a version compatible with Google WiFi devices: https://openwrt.org/toh/google/wifi It is not possible to get out from the default Google firmware and benefit of a quite good device, adding a lot of functionaliti...

Really loving what you can do with #openwrt on a #googlewifi. I'm still having some problem skipping vpn for Netflix... But I tested lot of interesting stuff. The final configuration is: only selected wifi devices are sent throught the VPN (which is activated all the time). It is only related to performances... But you can forward all your traffic. Your privacy first of all !
Another very cool stuff about the #googlewifi custom firmware: now I can force a VPN for the whole local network!! Speed is not that good, but in case at least you can be secured
