Have you heard about the FCC banning routers!?

Did you realize the FCC is completely confused about hardware vs. software?

For "best practice" check out OpenWRT!

#OpenWRT #NetworkFreedom

t00t! 🥳

I have #OpenWrt running on an old plusnet router (£15 on eBay), attaching to my mobile broadband and providing wired connections to my #HomeLab.

Aaaaand, the router is automatically updating the DNS records for my domain using the mythic-beasts.com v1 API. (Note I didn't get the OpenWrt #DDNS script to work with the v2 API).

Next, setting up remote access using Wireguard on the router.

lol forgot about the test routers

over five days still reporting good

i tihnk this stage is done

this weekend maybe time to try OpenWRT!

Как шпионить за Wi-Fi сетями для пользы дела — полный гайд (легально!)

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Алексей, и я продолжаю копаться в беспроводных технологиях. В прошлый раз мы настраивали Wi-Fi в OpenWrt для максимальной стабильности и покрытия. Сегодня я хочу поговорить о другой, не менее увлекательной теме - мониторинге беспроводного эфира с помощью легедарного роутера TP-Link MR3020.Многие скажут: «Зачем мне это? У меня и так всё работает». А я отвечу: возможности, которые открываются, могут удивить. Давайте сразу к делу.

Trying to Build Your Own Consumer-Grade Router in 2026

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://hackaday.com/2026/04/16/trying-to-build-your-own-consumer-grade-router-in-2026/

I found a bug in the #OpenWrt dynamic DNS, although I'm not the first. The issue was originally opened at the end of 2023: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/22829

My workaround for this was to create the DNS A record manually for my domain using my ISPs domain management panel.

If there's no A record to start with, the script bombs out when if fails to find the domain in DNS, and so fails to update the record (ie create it the first time).
