I am moving into a temporary home for two years and my landlord is kind enough to share his internet (via lan) with me and my wife. I am looking for a cascading router that can do dnat or where I have access to iptables.
I tried reviving my old fritzbox-7390, but it seems the manufacturer changed so much that you can't use dnat or iptables atm.
So it's slightly above the absolute minimum to run openwrt, but I am bit wary since the 4/32 warnings page also says that even with 8/64 you stil can experience problems. I am just not sure what problems means here...
The uplink to my (landlords) provider is 50mbit,so it wouldn't have to handle much.
Given the circumstances (temporary setup, slow uplink), is it a good idea to buy this router? Once I am settled in in a more permanent home my plan is to invest into a bigger router. Buying a bigger router now seems like a waste of money since the same router will probably be much cheaper in two years.
If somebody would share their thoughts I'd be very happy.
Sorry, I didn't see the change from C60 to C6. I ordered an Archer C50 for $29 CDN from Amazon.ca last week, which uses the MT7628 cpu. The C60 is $10 more. I use sqm on the DSL 25/10 link:
# /etc/config/sqm
uci del sqm.eth1.qdisc_advanced
uci del sqm.eth1.ingress_ecn
uci del sqm.eth1.egress_ecn
uci del sqm.eth1.qdisc_really_really_advanced
uci del sqm.eth1.itarget
uci del sqm.eth1.etarget
uci set sqm.eth1.enabled='1'
uci set sqm.eth1.interface='pppoe-wan'
uci set sqm.eth1.download='0'
uci set sqm.eth1.upload='10800'
uci set sqm.eth1.debug_logging='0'
uci set sqm.eth1.verbosity='5'
uci set sqm.eth1.script='layer_cake.qos'
uci set sqm.eth1.linklayer='ethernet'
uci set sqm.eth1.overhead='34'
Thanks! What I got from your paste is that it should be possible
What I unfortunately got from your link is that these routers aren't gigabit, so I think I'll go for a c7 instead.
