@lemmy.worldFor example, privacy violating linksys or netgear, or devices with components running improper firmware with a 14 year old vulnerability?
The reason that I ask, although I don't want this to impact the quality of answers, is that I'm shopping for a new router that is secure and private but rather than paying commercial and industrial prices I would rather get a consumer router and overwrite it's software.
How many times I can change IMEI without harm to device via AT command? For example if I will change IMEI 3 times a day (sometimes) and 7 times (most commonly) a week (1 per day) via AT command won’t it harm device?
I need extra lawyer of security as I will go to dictatorship country for 1 week as reporter n. This is extremely critical.
Please ask the highest level of your engineer team.
P.S: I am using Mudi v2 with blue-merle
Hi, where I live we have cable internet, it seems this is not supported by existing OpenWRT firmware.
But as far as I understood, the router is the same and just has a different modem.
This could need proprietary firmware, maybe blobs etc. everything not nice, but isnt the router Software kinda independend of the modem?
I dont have experience with this, but would like to try to make a model with cable work with a DSL / fiber OpenWRT software by adding the missing modem firmware.
Is there something I missed, is this in general how OpenWRT is made to work with different modems?
Also: can I have 2 routers on the same cable, to try it before switching to it permanently, if I have a cable box with 3 ports and one free? I dont know much about this, as the payment plan seems to be for the whole house connection no matter how many routers inside.
Just an appreciation post for the OpenWrt project.
I recently bought an ASUS router. It was good for it's price. However when I enabled IPv6 on the router, it could not handle it. It made my networking terribly slow. It could be a bug in the firmware or missing IPv6 specification or incompatibility with my ISP. Anyway I debugged for a week and eventually gave up.
I asked ASUS support for a solution. However they asked me to take it to a service center. The service center guys had no clue about IPv6.
Finally I tried to purchase an expensive Netgear router. Then at last minute I recalled about OpenWrt read in newsletters or heard somewhere in Linux Podcasts.
I went through the documentation and flashed it (It was super simple). It's fantastic. All my problems went away. IPv6 works like charm. It can handle SLAAC, DHCPv6 and all IPv6 specifications correctly and by default. I could also enable DoH, adblocking etc.
Learning curve is little higher with it's LuCI UI, but it was worth it. Not only did I save my money, but my router is also more secure now.
Thanks to all the developers who put their hard labour with no expectation in return.

I can see all the devices connected over WiFi, but their security choice seems to be unlisted. For example, if the WiFi interface has both WPA2, and WPA3 available, I would like to see what devices are using which.

OpenWrt One/AP-24 unveiled in celebration of OpenWrt's 20th year, offering an upstream-supported hardware solution.
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-one-celebrating-20-years-of-openwrt/183684
@blogic posted following on the OpenWrt mailing list for developers: tl;dr In 2024 the OpenWrt project turns 20 years! Let's celebrate this anniversary by launching our own first and fully upstream supported hardware design. If the community likes the idea outlined below in greater details, we would like to start formal vote. The idea It is not new. We first spoke about this during the OpenWrt Summits in 2017 and also 2018. It became clear start of December 2023 while tinkering with Banana...
