Usteer-NG

Thanks to @NilsRo for the great new features

And @Ramon for the luci-app-usteer

and the rest of the contributors for maintaining the great new generation of Usteer.

We all hope it will be merged into the main OpenWrt repository.

Now let's talk about it :wink:

If this topic was to be opened it should have been done by @NilsRo. I made the suggestion in the original thread but it should have been up to him, if he wanted to.

I didn’t open this thread because you suggested it.

It was time to have a new thread dedicated only to usteer-ng, so it wouldn’t get mixed up with a thread from a few years ago.

Edited main post. With the github URL.

It’S a new maintained usteer (Next generation)

Fixed several important bugs by @NilsRo.

Will this ever be available to install from the official repository?

Create Makefile Usteer-ng by NilsRo · Pull Request #25977 · openwrt/packages

Actually not. But perhaps we can bring back attention to it…but before doing so I like to setup a better release strategy and fix some bugs that are more important.

Summed up a list of my (our :wink:) tasks prioritized. Feel free to comment or let us work together on a topic via a PR on my Repo

  1. band steering: Optimize detection of bands supported by the station
  2. roaming: get a hostap feature merged into hostapd to support cancelation of forced disassociation: [PATCH] wnm_ap: optional disassociation for bss_tm_req
  3. release: setup a release strategy and optimize github actions for building packages
  4. release: bring PR Comparing openwrt:master...NilsRo:feature_usteer-ng · openwrt/packages back to attention
  5. 6Ghz support: works implicitly (6Ghz is handled like 5Ghz) but it should be checked if it is necessary to handle it specifically
