#OpenWRT on a #Fritzbox is kinda pain since there are so many things i could technically do if the fritzbox had more powerful hardware. Can't wait to build my own router.

A #Fujitsu #Thinclient S920 would be a perfect fit and is also cheap as hell.

More powerful hardware would allow me to take advantage of #tor #routing, local #tailscale resolving, #adblocking and much more. Maybe even some #docker #containers like #caddy.

#OpenWRT is a real #gamechanger for my #homenetwork.

Настраиваем роутер и WiFi с VLAN в тоннель

На некоторые устройства не очень удобно или вообще невозможно поставить приложения, которые позволяют создавать тоннели или изменять роутинг. Можно создать в сети несколько VLAN и на точке доступа WiFi на каждую создать свой SSID (имя точки) и иметь несколько "виртуальных" WiFi точек с разными маршрутами и тоннелями. Здесь мы рассмотрим настройку такой схемы с роутером на pfSense, точкой доступа на OpenWRT и отдельным линуксом для тоннеля в VM на Proxmox. Эти идеи можно использовать и в других комбинациях железа и софта.

Ich benutze einen Archer c2600 mit #openwrt als Bridge, um Netzwerkgeräte ins WLAN einzubinden.
Seit dem Update auf OpenWRT 24.10.2 mit Kernel 6.6.93 und etlichen Backports aus der Mainline kann ich vermelden, daß die WLAN-Verbindung wie eine Eins steht und keine BEACON LOSS Fehler mehr aufgetreten sind.
Ein wirklich guter Release von allen beteiligten Entwicklern!

Nun haben wir den Salat. Inzwischen ist #WLAN schneller als Gigabit. Aber auch nur, wenn Router und Rechner beide die aktuellsten Einstellungen können.
Mit der Fritzbox wäre das nicht möglich. Aber das Zyxel schafft es locker. Mit #OpenWRT

@kernellogger maybe that question also makes "more sense" if the person comes from an x86 world? Where devices can typically be discovered through probing. Where EFI etc. standardizes the booting process. While on ARM you typically have to "wire" them in through a DTS file. And have differing, hard-coded boot offsets in a u-boot config etc.
I wish the ARM+MIPS world would adopt some of the mechanisms from the x86 world. That would also make it so much easier to add device support in #OpenWrt.

Habe ich bei #Freifunk überhaupt Freunde? Diese Distanz der Leute scheint mir zu zeigen, ich sollte Freifunk nicht mehr machen. #OpenWRT ist ein zweifelhaftes Projekt, es gibt keinen Support. Leute sind nicht hilfsbereit. Wer es nicht schafft, wird als ärgerlicher Mensch wahrgenommen und diese Distanz wird gepflegt.

@publicvoit : "... So my 3yr old #WiFi router needs to be replaced? Really? 😲.."

One option (to build a "custom" and "light" #openwrt build) is to go through the building process, and trimming away all you don't need (including luci) so to be properly run into your device.

Some years ago I wrote some notes regarding this exact process... So, if you have some free time, you could find it useful! Give it a look:

@monnier I bought it on the 2nd hand market 3yrs ago after doing research that it's supported by OpenWRT. That's my pattern with all of my personal routers and APs.

If devices can be flashed but not updated, I'd expect a clearly visible warning on the device page by #openwrt.

Despite running multiple OpenWRT devices for over a decade, I still don't know how much storage is necessary for normal operations and I frankly don't care as long as OpenWRT lists it as supported.

I'm old enough that 8MB sounds like "more than enough for an OS". 🤷
