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.
#ddwrt
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.
i 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!
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).
Welcome to Jackass.

Da fängt der Tag schon schlecht an: In der Früh die ersten E-Mails vom Network-Watchdog, dass das #homelab seit 01:30 ohne internetconnection ist. Danke #magenta und dem verdammten #ddwrt, dass sich nach einem Disconnect behände weigert eine neue IP per DHCP zu empfangen. Es ist zum Mäuse melken....
Unbrick a Linksys WRT54G router with DD WRT and TFTP
I've been running #ddwrt for years without issue. The router is in the basement and the front ground floor area of the house has a pretty weak signal.
I'm considering updating to a GliNet MT6000 running #OpenWRT in the basement and an AXT1800 running it upstairs with ethernet backhaul.
That should overkill the problem. Then again, most of the network works OK. Is it worth the cost and technical debt of translating current settings on ddwrt to a new firmware.
So here is my new #OPNsense Router.
My old router is a #Linksys WRT3200ACM running #DDWRT & it's blue, so I called it #Tachikoma from #GhostInTheShell.
So went with the same theme here.
I am really happy with it😁.
I'm still getting for feel for OPNsense & where everything is
I've been playing with Suricata & I got Zenarmor installed.

Week of reminder for our monthly meetup.
This Wednesday, June 18th at 7pm. Normal place of @impropercity. It seems like we will have some heat, so come help me drink a beer.
I finally decided on my old router for stickers. Come offer your best sticker tribute to #DDWRT router
I am copying @bouldersec, just did not have any better ideas… also not as vintage of a router as their OG.

Silly name, but the #pihole is a great way to block ads on every device in your home. If anyone needs any tips to get started let me know.

The hardware was refurbished, including a quick analysis of the equipment. I quickly realized that modern and up-to-date network firewall firmware could be installed on both devices without much effort and high costs. Since #BSDRP , #OPNSense and #pfSense no longer support x86 (i586/i686) architectures, the choice fell on the current #OpenWrt and #DDWRT versions for x86 (i586/i686) architectures. 2/3
Habe heute Vormittag im Track "#Backup" einen Vortrag "Alles backupen mit Rsnapshot" auf den #clt2025 gehalten. Es ging um das Programm #Rsnapshot und darum, wie man mit Shell Tools oder einfachen #Perl-Skripen u.ä. regelmäßige Backups von Dingen automatisieren kann, die nicht dafür gemacht sind. Beispielsweise #DDWRT und #Fritzbox OS.

A decade ago I modified a standard US 110V wall outlet so that it contained a hidden wifi hotspot. Thus, using #ddwrt open source software for routers, I could create a low bandwidth wifi-network that reached the basement of my 6-story building.
I wanted to know when the clothes dryer was done. But, it was more than that—
The other possible solution was to buy a SIM card and make the monitor a cellular device. This (I want to stress) was over a decade ago 2009.

Ставил DD-WRT, на старенький TP-Link.
Работает, настроил раздачу как ретранслятора. Но фактически там есть реальный клиент и виртуальная точка доступа.
Для того, чтобы всё сработало, надо было выставить все галки на WPA и со стороны шифрования, AES и TKIP
Установка простая была, через меню обновления в штатной прошивке.
Будем развлекаться
I was able to restore it back to operational state, hooray! 🥳
Steps:
1. Flashed #ddwrt on top of it based on these instructions: https://youtu.be/gmn6Di3GbZM
2. Since no webrevert file is available for my model I used the one for different model (tl-wr941nd_v2_v3), which successfully bricked the device 🤓
3. Then I have restored it with the original firmware using TFTP with these instructions: https://milankragujevic.com/restore-a-bricked-tp-link-router-with-tftp
Now I have no more openwrt but I have my 4G back 😌
