Obviously, my knowledge of the GL-Inet one stems from the link given by the other guy.
I dont know much about it except that it uses the same chipset, same amount of memory, same amount of flash and is smaller (volume wise) all of which can be had from the link presented earlier.
What mod does Zsun need to do usb networking?
I just pop mine in and voilà, it works!
Maybe I just dont know what usb networking is...
NOTE: somebody decided this post was off-topic despite getting two likes.
please explain yourself as to how a topic with two likes can be off-topic?
for usb networking. just plug it in and it works, no driver install needed on my windows laptop. and this great.
for example,
i disable wifi on my laptop
plug the usb150 into my usb port
using the custom web interface, i connect the usb150 to a public hotspot
connect the usb150 to mullvad wireguard vpn.
in this way, nobody can see my laptop on wifi, because i disabled it.
if i need to, i can access the standard openwrt web page and command line.
you do not have to plug it into a usb port, you can plug it into a usb power adapter or usb battery bank, and use it for other openwrt stuff like acting as a wifi router for other users, with an option for guest wifi and so on.
the only downside is the wifi is limited to 150Mbps
hi,
for some reason you post was flagged, not sure why.
gl-inet makes several small/cheap routers that have 3 ethernet sockets and run openwrt
i have not used them myself, as i use their usb150.
i do know they have a very active, friendly forum.
seem this forum is quick to flag posts, not sure why.
not sure if you will see this, so i will send you a PM.
I checked out the gl-inet router and it looked really cool!
My favorite router is my modded TL-WR703N with 8M/64M, and my only complain is it has only one LAN port, so 3-port gl-inet is a great option and I recommend it in lieu of modded TL-WR703N.
I'm not sure if you are aware but the world is currently experiencing a Corona Crisis. The effects that I am seeing is minimal production with electronic devices. Hence shortages. Some electronic devices have actually increased in price because of shortages.
People are desperate to get what ever they can get a hold of. I had to wait several months for one of my electronics devices to be posted. The online electronics shop notified me that there is a halt on production. I'm lucky to get a hold of one.
I'm taking what ever I can get, if I get it on a discount it's a bonus.
The cheapest device available here (Germany) is the Maginon WLR755AC which is identical to WAVLINK WL-WN577A2. It was sold in the end for 5€ at aldi stores and even now you just have to call the service number and claim you've a broken one to get one new for free.
Unfortunately it runs very unstable with OpenWRT snapshot, transmission speed drops under high load and sometimes it crashes completely.
The TP-Link Archer C50 is used also very cheap available starting from 5,-€ at ebay small ads and works stable with OpenWRT 19.7.7
TP-Link Archer C2 available at same costs (5,-€) but unusable as it is extremely slow (max 30Mbits/s at 2,4GHz, tested with snapshot and 19.7.7)
TP-Link Archer C20i is nearly identical beside missing Gbit LAN-switch but works like a charm.
They are a dime a dozen too when bought used. Also it consumes only about 2 watts of power so this is definitely my favourite cheap LEDE/OpenWrt device.
