in a remote place i have a usb stick 4G as WAN. due to weak signal coverage i have to move around the place and guess which is the best spot for optimal coverage. There are 3rd party apps that work via Luci, but it is not for my arch. i have to compile it myself and takes ages.
it would be nice to be in the OpenWRT repo something similar and have visual representation of the signal coverage.
There are scripts posted at the forum, which will poll the modem, and change the signal strength LEDs accordingly.
i heard about it, but i was posting in the requests part, for something to be implemented in Luci, rather than having a script. In the meantime could you point me to the scripts please?
Well - 3g signal goes towards zero, in 5 years time /bin/true will be advanced enough to visualise it.
Did you explore thia https://github.com/4IceG/luci-app-3ginfo-lite ?
Hi @ed8,
indeed this is the 3rd app that i am using, but it is not for my arch (32bit). every time that i compile it, it takes me ages.So i am asking if it is possible to have this app or something else that serves the purpose, in the repo for all the archs.
The luci-app-3ginfo-lite does not look like arch dependent - are you referring to packages like sms-tool which needs to be compiled?
As for compiling taking ages: are you compiling on the device itself instead of cross-compiling?
Maybe LuCI APP: luci-app-3ginfo - 3ginfo gui (Info about 3G/LTE connection) has better answers to your inquiry and otherwise you might continue your quest in this thread from the package maintainer..
indeed i am talking about sms-tools and some dependencies. the whole repo is for x86_64 and i am using 32bit. I compiling in my laptop and it takes me more than 100GB to build the whole lot and 8h, if no mistakes.
i have been to this thread and asked
