What is hindering you in creating specific topics for specific problems?

Topics do not just disappear.

'running' threads;

  • foster a sense of community
  • declutter the forum when several people are likely to encounter similar issues in the short term
  • make relevant and/or associated information easier to find, especially for 'new' OpenWrt users... and in the case of the pi4... there are many...

Which is why it'd be a good idea to get the launch RPi4 thread opened indefinitely, not subject to this insane rule of threads getting closed if they don't have any activity for more than 10 days. For example, the auto thread close cut a conversation between some people at the end that was getting somewhere.

@tmomas would it be possible?

The result would be something like this: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=63276

One single topic with 5259 posts on 211 pages that one has to sift through to find relevant information on a specific problem. I am very much pissed by such a situation, hence thinking that we can do better by putting specific questions into specific topics.

@anon50098793 Can't get SQM QoS to get it working. It shows ResourcesNotFound error. :frowning:

Get a real router and access points.

How can I configure fan control on OpenWRT or Rasbian OS? I want my case fan to run on 3.3v as you suggested above as the noise it makes is annoying.

32

Most of these cases the fan attached to the RPi header pins. You just attach it to the 3.3v pin, look on RPi website for the pinout diagram

33

With a 802.11ax extra card it can be great... openwrt support some models ?

34

No.

Hi all, I'm new to OpenWRT and I have a similar question as the original poster.
I have a Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB where I run Wireguard and Pi-Hole with a wired connection to a Huawei B618 which works as WiFi access and gateway to the internet.
Would it work if I install OpenWRT on the RPI and have the Huawei B618 as an access point/gateway?
The idea would be to have OpenWRT functionalists on top of Huawei which lacks many features
