Some adventures installing @openwrt@lemdro.id
@openwrt@lemmy.world on a #Google #WiFi "puck" (AC-1304)

If you follow the directions between the links: https://openwrt.org/toh/google/wifi
and the updated details in this thread
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/finally-installed-openwrt-on-my-google-wifi-ac-1304/183541/2
you can get #OpenWRT installed on those #Google #Wifi #pucks (AC-1304).

It is a bit of a challenge, since you are flying blind based on the light colors and blinking of the puck; along with the typical poor documentation of open source projects (as typical, written as someone is well familiar with the topic and process, rather than written in a #KISS for the #n00b).

Once installed, you can configure as #repeaters following this tutorial
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/relay_configuration
and the video at

does anyone else have one of those home wifi things that alert you whenever a new thing connects?

today i got an alert that a new “buffalo device” connected.

i didn’t know what it was, so i disabled it. should i be worried?

#BuffaloDevice
#HomeWifi
#wtf?

also, should my buffalo be worried?

Home networking for office being built in back garden. Do I just go with 2.5Gb or just say sod it and go for the full 10Gb (which I'd probably never use tbh). Already have 3 x Cat7a layed so no issue with bandwidth. And pull ropes to pull some fibre if I "REALLY" have to have it.

Thinking Zyxel 2.5Gb with 10Gb uplinks and a Ubiquiti WIFI7 AP for the building.

Any thoughts from anyone?

Одна из лучших покупок этого года – мобильный 4G роутер Netgear Nighthawk M1

Классная портативность (для эмигранта с ручной кладью). Поддерживает агрегацию (Cat 16). В Тбилиси у #MagtiCom выжимает 140 Mbps ночью.

Главное не покупайте его на алиэкспресс, иначе получите подделку (перепрошитую б/у австралийскую версию с недостающими бэндами)
