i just compiled and installed succesfully nbg7815-main-nss. however - i can not mount usb devices and here is basicly no space to install additional packages. Also here are some menu missing (like mountpoints)
i tried a sysupdate with the latest release (f834b88). however ended up with completely different luci interface, different kernel (6.6 vs. 6.12). Also now samba/mountpoints and other menu entries are available.
why is here such a difference between the releases and the main-nss ?
what I need to do to get samba and usb mouinting with the main-nss working?
Has anyone measured the voltage the fan is running at? If it is actually just running at 12V, one could probably add one of those step-down cables to 7V or 5V to make it quieter. I know Noctua ships them with their fans, but I'm sure they can also be purchased separately elsewhere.
The controller has a temperature sensor and its own speed control. One good thing about this controller is that it turns the fan off when temperature is too low.
Yes it seems so, but nobody is interested in finding out
No it doesn't need to be, the controller has its own settings.
You can get the 5V power for the controller from:
A) Set the temperature very low in OpenWRT and use 5V power from the fan socket to feed the controller.
B) Or get the 5V power from the USB pins. It's up to you.
I'll be honest, since the SOC and all the other chips that get hot are on the bottom side anyway (whoever thought this was a good idea deserves a spot in hell), I resorted to just drilling some "speed holes" in the bottom and stuck a 120mm fan to the thing that is running at 5V from USB. I then used motherboard standoffs to raise the fan a bit so that it can properly suck in air. Works great, now the SOC never really exceeds 65c and it's quiet too (unlike the fan in the router, which I have now turned off).
And since the stand normally goes over that flat bit where I drilled the holes, this "mod" would even be fully reversible in the sense that you couldn't see it anymore if you remove the fan and mount the stand again.
How much free ram do you get on this build?
I tested official openwrt(with the same packages installed) and AgustinLorenzo's build, I got around 600-650mb free ram.
I was having 400-450mb free ram on this build. Is it same on your devices?
I have a 2500/1000 PPPoE connection and I can easily reach these speeds. I am using the blue 2.5g port as WAN, and the 10g port is connected to the PC (which negotiates at 2.5)
1 x Mini-360 Buck Converter (19V to 12v Conversion)
1 x HW-585 Fan Controller
First, I drilled additional ventilation holes in the bottom cover using an 8mm drill bit. Then, I soldered the Mini-360 cables to the DC jack pins. I also placed the fan controller inside the bottom cover, next to the fan, and set its speed to 40%.

Description
Support for the batman-adv protocol
Required dependency package kmod-batman-adv is not available in any repository.
Also the 802.11s runs with around 800 MBit/s up and down. An iperf3 test measures just 350 Mbit/s up and just 40 - 50 Mbit/s up from the dap-x1860-a1 as wireless mpp in the b mesh…
If I use just the dap-x1860-a1 and Multy M1 the gross 800 are the same but instead of 40 - 50 I get at least 110 Mbit/s.
Hello guys, i have few questions regarding to this device, if someone can answer them i would be glad. Im currently in a search for openwrt supported router this device has good hardware on paper, i would either buy g5 or mr90x from mercusys they are both in same price range in my country. Im unable to order anything from aliexpress, customs are blocking anything above 30$ range and asking for like 3x prices. so im only able to purchease devices avaible locally.
will g5 ever have vanilla openwrt support with all features?
what is the current stability of this device running on openwrt?
can i install anything from wrt repo or do i need to flash firmware with every update since most of you are using asvio’s or other user’s builds?
with asvio’s build what is the operation tempeture? will it get too hot most of the time or just on a 2.5gbps load?
