Carlos SolísWith the news of the US banning all foreign routers (well, all routers for practical purposes), I'm checking how to replace the one from my ISP (which, since I live in CR, is a #Huawei of all brands!). Now I'm down a rabbit hole of #GPON devices, #LC to #SFP adapters, and #DDWRT compatibility lists.
@nickbearded what is the cheapest alibaba arm device it will run on Netcore N60 Pro MediaTek MT7986A (Quad-core A53)? about 40 bucks, i have a few mango glinet and they are decent. you could also mkt this as a 4g/5g iot testbench. i see this as a way to sell product buy from alibaba in bulk, sell for double. it is a discrete product but also a gateway product #custom fw flashing #ddwrt #openwrt #routing protocols #debian arm

izzyI had some strong firewall rules on my #ddwrt router blocking icmp requests from wan, blocking port scanners, and tarpitting, and absolutely murdered my throughout. I guess this poor mr8300 can't keep up. XD

cleaning some stuffs, found two routers that I shelved because they're backdoored / phone home.
but unless I'm missing something, looks like no one's got anything like #openwrt or #dd-wrt for them yet.
- Verizon FiOS-G1100
- Smart/RG SR555ac
They're just collecting dust otherwise, so I'm not terrified of bricking them, though it would be more fun to get something working. Not a realm I've ever really gone into so I wouldn't know where to start.

Eli Roberson (he/him)My first #OpenWRT test didn't go well. I've used #DDWRT for years. It's mostly fine. Needs periodic reboots. VLANs aren't stable sometimes.
I tried flashing OpenWRT onto my Nighthawk today. Seemed to mostly work OK. I logged in, got antennas activated. Then weirdness started. From a LAN wired connection, the gaming computer would get 2-5 minutes of uptime, then the whole port shut downs. Restart and it would be OK. Then 2-5 minutes later the port shuts down. Orange light. Full stop.
There's finally fiber Internet near us so we're switching. The dedicated line and symmetric upload will be a huge help for moving files.
I'm considering moving from our router from #DDWRT to #OpenWRT for better #WireGuard support, more frequent updates, maybe better QoS. Any thoughts from users? It's a Netgear Nighthawk which I think is plenty powerful enough and at least acts OK for DDWRT.
izzyi needed ipv6 for accessing my VPS hosted on https://boxybsd.com which is ipv6 only from me and my partner's new apartment so i called up my isp asking for an allocation. at first they told me that they're not ipv6 ready, but i got a call a few minutes after.....
now, I'm working with my isp and apparently i can be a early tester for their network support of ipv6.
apparently they're "almost there" in fully supporting it and want to work with me to test it. haha i'm loving this! i'm like a kid in a candy shop.
glad i made that first call!
.:\dGh/:.Hi!
I'm Italo.
I'm going to build my own OpenWRT by mixing repository full of improvements on top of a fork of OpenWRT that uses NSS for thet Dynalink DL-WRX36 (Qualcomm IPQ8072).
