The old (original) #openwrt Luci theme is objectively better than the current default "bootstrap" variation.

There. I said it.

OK, #HomeAssistant is a pain in the butt for casual use. Its like #OpenWRT as a router OS. Needs full expertise for the simplest action.

But dammit, it restored ALL the #Zwave associations AND cryptographic links.

Much as I miss #IndigoDomotics it had to go with the #DeAppling

How the hell can't I make a WiFi extender, connected to the main router, in #openwrt ? Ethernet connects my OpenWRTs on every floor. The three devices are identical so I think I should end up with configs for the BaseStation and Extenders (1 & 2).
There are plenty of wireless WiFi extender methods, but why waste my radio bandwidth for that?
Edit: These complaints are mine, and I am at least 50% of every problem. Take my anecdote as nothing more than a putz has f'd up his overcomplicated plan.

Ok, since I'm elbows-deep into my #OpenWRT routers, let's see if I can get 802.11r, k, & v working.

I have an AP on each floor, I'd like to dial them all down to minimum power, and still get better coverage than I am right now with a single AP at max.

@txt_file for >= 48 ports + PoE: D-Link DGS-1210-52MP or ZyXEL GS1900-48HP.
I'm a bit confused though that I don't see the(se) PoE variants in the #OpenWrt Table of Hardware: https://toh.openwrt.org/?columns=VIRT_edit,brand,model,flashmb,switch,ethernet100mports,ethernet1gports,ethernet2_5gports,ethernet5gports,ethernet10gports,sfp_ports,sfp_plus_ports,vlan,commentsnetworkports
Also wouldn't recommend ZyXEL, as it only has 8 MiB of usable flash (16 MiB with A/B backup boot).
Also 52 ports with PoE seemed a bit more expensive and rare on kleinanzeigen.de, only saw that for ~150€ last time I checked.
HPE 1920-48G-PoE+ might also work. Search for rtl83(xx) in the ToH.

@drajt old post but could I ask your experience with Yggdrasil network system requirements?

Considering for my #OpenWRT router. Obviously on 24/7 with decent 500 Mbps connection. Lightly used. But hardware is not very powerful with 2 cores at 880 MHz, 256 MB RAM and paltry 32 MB flash (expandable with some effort ).

PS: funny feeling compared to my first real computer. At the time upgrading to 12 MB RAM costed dearly. Overclocking to 33 MHz was nerve wracking. HDD at least was 80 MB.

My improved 5G setup - Jan-Lukas Else

Last year, I documented my “perfect” 5G setup. Yesterday, that Quectel modem was sold. So, what prompted the change, and how am I online now?

Die #wlan Durchsatzrate von rd. 700 Mbit ist mehr als von der #fritzbox gewohnt und zufriedenstellend. Da kann man nicht meckern.
