OpenWRT Firmware

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.

Backup binaries: cp /usr/sbin/tailscale backup_tailscale cp /usr/sbin/tailscaled backup_tailscaled

Update (https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/#static): ``` service tailscale stop

wget https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/tailscale_1.50.1_mips.tgz

service tailscale stop tar zxvf tailscale_1.50.1_mips.tgz

cp /root/tailscale_1.50.1_mips/tailscale* /usr/sbin/ service tailscale start tailscale version ```

What access point can you recommend for use with OpenWrt?

I use OpenWrt on x86. I use this build but added a WiFi card and antennas. At first the WiFi performance was very good giving me great speeds and range. Some time ago performance degraded. The signal range is extremely limited giving me disconnects on my phone when I'm 4 meters away.

How could I debug what the cause might be. Any ideas?
