GL-AR300M – GL.iNet: nice small device allowing NAT over WAN, WiFi, 3G/4G modem, or OpenVPN

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/08/28

Still glad I got a few of [WayBack] GL-AR300M – GL.iNet: it makes travel life so much easier when you cannot use tethering.

I got the model GL-AR300M with external antennas (the GL-AR300M only has internal ones with a much shorter range).

Powered over USB, it runs OpenWRT and can NAT a local network towards an external network on the WAN, WiFi or (via USB) 3G/4G modem.

Despite doing only 2.4Ghz, it was a life saver in many occasions (there is a 5Ghz model, but it has over heating issues).

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/06

[WayBack] RB450G and “..could not get answer from dns server” – MikroTik: I do not see a default route. It would be the route with “dst-address=0.0.0.0/0.

Tomato by shibby – upgrade procedure and cfg backup | LinksysInfo.org

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/02/24

Reminder to self: [WayBackTomato by shibby – upgrade procedure and cfg backup | LinksysInfo.org:

I keep a text file with the changes I’ve made after a fresh install and I keep the file updated as I make changes.

Re-configuring the router after that takes a bit of time, but it is not that bad. Toastman’s method (here) noted above as well as the methods described here and here can also be used, but I haven’t tried them.

[WayBack] Solved: Stuttering Audio Streaming To Apple TV Via AirPlay – The Spotify Community:

Try to disable Wifi multimedia (WMM) from your router’s WLAN settings

For my Tomato USB it was easy as described by [WayBack] Installing AirPlay on Tomato – 2017 Edition [StartupCTO]:

Netgate SG-3100 is an ARM based pfSense Firewall Appliance

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/04

By now I should have had plenty of time to try out an ARM based pfSense multi-WAN router like the [WayBack]  Netgate SG-3100 is an ARM based pfSense Firewall Appliance.

So this is a reminder for myself to write down more detailed experiences than the summary at [WayBack]Netgate SG-3100 pfSense Security Gateway Appliance.

It is in the Mikrotik price range, but each time I use those I bump into mysterious RouterOS issues that only I seem to have.

ZeroShell Firewall/Router Linux Distribution Works on x86 Hardware, Raspberry Pi 2/3, & (Some) Orange Pi Boards

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/01

From a while back: [WayBackZeroShell Firewall/Router Linux Distribution Works on x86 Hardware, Raspberry Pi 2/3, & (Some) Orange Pi Boards.

I’m anxious to see how much it has grown up by now.

More info at Zeroshell – Wikipedia

Research list: machine sometimes not visible on LAN

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/04/08

When one of the machine isn’t active for a while it seems to disappear. Even when it’s active some of the machines have intermittent errors pinging it as like every 10-30 seconds one of these ping results appear:

92 bytes from tl-er5120 (192.168.71.1): Redirect Host(New addr: 192.168.71.193)
Vr HL TOS  Len   ID Flg  off TTL Pro  cks      Src      Dst
 4  5  00 0054 05de   0 0000  40  01 644d 192.168.71.108  192.168.71.193

Sometimes even a simple

Request timeout for icmp_seq 6900

So I need to dig into  ICMP “Redirect Host” .

It might be a simple ARP thing like mac mini – Why the different results for ping? Or why is the Time Capsule getting involved? – Ask Different [WayBack] but like usual stuff I bump into is of a more complex kind so I’ve archived at least these:
