Found some 1000BASE-T #SFP <-> #RJ45 modules which work with the #uboot #tftpboot of this #Xikestor #Realtek #rtl93xx switch chip. And managed to figure out how to select a port other than the first one for tftpboot (just use the same weird, non-linear port numbers as the #DTS in #OpenWrt uses.) This now simplified my test setup quite a bit.

Banana Pi BPI-BE19 Wifi7 Module : The RSSI value of BE19 looks very good now. Next, it's time to perform calibration and install a shielding case + heat sink.

I had read good reviews about the #GL-iNet #routers so I purchased one of their products around 18 months ago. One of my main motivations was supporting, at some level, #OpenWrt and including tools like #AdGuardHome and #Wireguard.

But to be honest, it all has been a bit disappointing.

AdGuardHome never worked very well. Apart from being slow, the service would frequently freeze (e.g. whenever I updated the custom filter) and I had to manually restart it.

In addition, the system stack was quite messy and difficult to make sense of. For example, the #DNS service #Dnsmasq could be managed directly or via Openwrt, sometimes creating unintended problems.

Anyway, the router decided to implode after a firmware upgrade, which is quite underwhelming. I tried a few things like reflashing Uboot, factory reset, etc. before deciding to just toss it away and get another one, from a different brand.

I'm probably late in doing so, but I recently discovered the owut system update tool in OpenWRT. It simplifies the process considerably - no more manual downloading of upgrade images from openwrt.org required.

I was wondering why there are bunch of UPS related packages for my router, yet I cannot find a single place to configure the NUT after installing nut, nut-server, nut-upsmon etc or find a documentation for it for my router. Then it hit me "this is an OpenWRT router. I should read the documentation for OpenWRT, not for my specific router model" 🤦
