Hello @everyone, I'm back after a very long period. But happy to be back, connected, and in a new home.
Yesterday I installed the latest non-CT openwrt-22.03-nss-qsdk10.0, and as usual my mild use is not (yet) triggering any reboot. But I'm willing to report if some strange behaviour happens.
For the moment I followed the suggestions in post #2 by @ACwifidude but if needed I can change things to test out things. Anything you want, really. You made this possible, and I can trade at least with some testing.
I'm on a PPPoE fiber connection (namely 1000dl 500ul).
Main router is R7800 for now with performance governor set in /etc/rc.local. No SQM for the moment.
But should I tick software and hardware flow offloading, in Network/Firewall for optimized performance?
I'd like all services of the network to be provided by R7800. Adguard, for example and other services coming in future.
DumbAP is a GL.inet AXT1800 (IPQ6000) set with "drop-in gateway" mode, for now. So not really a dumbAP. Only acting like, since it uses ARP spoofing. But I can reset it as a simple dumbAP at any time.
@D43m0n and @pattagghiu, but possibly anyone with more knowledge than me...can I ask you a big favour? Can you teach me how to set a segmentation of my network?
I read you do it on your routers as daily drivers.
I'd like to set it in order to provide connectivity to my two neighbours by using virtual LANs, either with DSA or with swconfig... The two Guest WLANs should be one from the R7800 and the other from the AXT1800, but with R7800 acting like the only DHCP server.
This would basically serve us to share the expense of the contract, but I absolutely don't want their traffic to mix in one single LAN with my traffic.
I'm spending my nights awake since more than a week, but clearly I'm not making it.
For example does DSA work on the IPQxxx devices under the "Bridge VLAN filtering" section? And how do I use it?
Hope you can help me.
Meanwhile @ACwifidude @quarky @sppmaster @qosmio and others engaged in developing, if you need me to set anything on the R7800 for a few days to log things, just tell me what to do and I'll be glad.
That issue with PPPoE and cpu spikes in WAN-LAN traffic, perhaps? Can I provide you logs?
As always sincerely struck by the abilities in this forum,
Gabo
