Tx power can't really be improved without attaching your own external antennas (which some people have done), but even without the, I can get decent signal up to about 50 feet away through 3 walls in my single story home.
Crowded WiFi too, with several 5Ghz neighbor routers as well as 20+ 2.4Ghz routers detectable.
@Bartvz would be nice if you can add the basic ddns related packages (ddns-scripts and luci-app-ddns) as I cannot upgrade remotely to your builds because of those are missing. Thanks!
One more thing which gets quite annoying: I try to set up openvpn for multiple times now, but it seems I am never fast enough and the master kernel changes:
Collected errors:
* satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for openvpn-openssl:
* kernel (= 4.14.32-1-0643775945eeef3b6bc3f0c7a01e8f0d) *
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package openvpn-openssl.
Can you please inculde at least the two most used VPN packages that are kernel dependent? One is "openvpn-openssl" the other is "kmod-mppe" . The rest of the packages (like luci apps and other dependencies) can be installed manually, but this two packages should be included.
Have you tried installing with the --force-depends flag? That should do it.
I haven't included those as WireGuard is included. It is faster, less complex and more secure then either OpenVPN or PPP.
Just to clear up some confusion. According to @nbd, hw flow offload (which is enabled on this build in /etc/config/firewall) is not compatible with SQM. I would suggest turning off any SQM/QoS now.
My DSLReports speedtest with Sqm turned off, and hw flow offload on:
To be honest it is not completely clear to me, but if hw flow offload skips certain parts of the linux network stack then it will not cooperate with SQM QoS. However, I was under the impression that it does not skip the qdisc and therefore SQM QoS still works. Please correct me if I am wrong.
@All, new build in the OP. The goodies keep coming for our device!
