Been using GL-MT6000 for nearly a year now, mostly use main snapshots. It's a fantastic device one of the best ARM options right now. Yes to flashing official OpenWrt builds.
Ok, I guess what I'm seeing though is that I already have openWRT on device. I'm trying to decide if it is worth switching over.
Switching out to OpenWRT raw it seems that
Obviously I lose the GUI which isn't important, might be additional overhead
Likely lose the the USB tether option I don't need
Get away from Chinese firmware, although the hardware could have unknown exploits
I would have to look for a UBoot option
Bootloader / UBoot changes could open up the a possible bricking issue
I would be on the nightly path instead of a Chinese but beta tested path
It is likely I would need to create all the interfaces and rules for the default lan ports, and re-create the wifi when switching, possibly some of this is included / pre-determined?
Seems like it could be worth it for peace of mind and having a single interface instead of a cake layer on top of WRT that does the real work.
hi,
after the apk transition, I am trying to build a new image from https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/, but it looks like package 'strongswan-mod-kernel-netlink' is missing:
Building package index...
ERROR: unable to select packages:
strongswan-mod-kernel-netlink (no such package):
required by: world[strongswan-mod-kernel-netlink]
I just switched over to APK and at the same time am trying to set up VLANs... And getting an error in interface: (DEVICE_CLAIM_FAILED) ... So I'm not sure how to continue.
There is no built-in switch on the FLINT2 it seems. Does this mean I need to apply my VLAN settings to the br-lan bridge instead of making a VLAN device and then a VLAN interface?
I'm glad you actually confirmed this because I started to wonder myself due to the internal design but then realised if it didn't have a switch then way more people would be complaining about connectivity problems between devices.
By default br-lan is bridging all switch ports together. Itās DSA so without this bridge each port would be separated and there wouldnāt be any traffic between them.
strange because I have the same problem on both MT6000s I have.
What way do you recommend to list all the packages installed later in Openwrt and to be able to install the latest snapshot, without losing the configuration or installed packages?
Hello all,
I have a question regarding wired 2.5 gbit speeds. I have the latest snapshot installed. When i run an iperf test on a direct connected switch to my pfsense I get around 2.2 gbits per second. But when i run a iperf test on the 2.5 gbit port on the glmt6000 connected to my pfsense instance the speeds never exceed 1.4 gbits per second. Wondering have I set something wrong or what speeds do you get.
The glmt6000 is setup as a accespoint.
Little more tested:
Tested the second GL-MT6000 i have same results 1.3 Gbits per second
Tested both LAN in cables directly in the laptop 2.3 GBits per second.
Flashed openwrt 5.15 stable same results both GL-MT6000 devices. 1.3 GBits per second.
Checked all the settings againš«£
Hope somebody has a pointer to what I could be doing wrong
hello
i have a mt6000 setup as AP (with 23.05.5)
i do not have a pfsense, but my main router is another openwrt
with the router as server and the mt6000 as client i get this
Best to compile them into your image or to add them via the image creator. You should be able to list the installed package with opkg list-installed although I can't remember how to get it to show just those that are not included in the default build for the device. I always just build my own image starting from my own diffconfig.
For the record, I am on OpenWrt SNAPSHOT, r28036+4-15de218a566c without any slow downs. The +4 is just showing that I have 4 custom commits applied.
