Topic: GL.iNet AR300 (AR9344) comes with OpenWRT

The content of this topic has been archived on 25 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello everybody!
Can the GL-AR300M (https://www.gl-inet.com/ar300m) and with external antennas (https://www.amazon.de/GLI-GL-AR300M-Pre … B01K6MHRJI) with the same firmware as the GL-AR300 described here?

To the GL-AR300M I find unfortunately no information here in the OpenWrt forum.

Thank you very much for your help

Hallo Zusammen!
Kann der GL-AR300M (https://www.gl-inet.com/ar300m) und mit externen Antennen (https://www.amazon.de/GLI-GL-AR300M-Pre … B01K6MHRJI) mit der gleichen Firmware betrieben werden, wie der hier beschriebene GL-AR300?

Zu dem GL-AR300M finde ich leider keinerlei Informationen hier im OpenWrt-Forum.

Herzlichen Dank für eure Hilfe

All GLi routers come with OpenWrt preinstalled.  The GLi GUI comes installed on top of this by default.  To get to OpenWrt use the "Advanced" link at the top right of the GLi GUI.

The version of the GLi GUI may vary with device and inventory, but there is now a V2.25 that you should upgrade the device to.  The underlying OpenWrt is their compiled version of 15.05 and is supported from thier package repository.

CC 15.05 was released before all the devices were mainstream, and you will not get a "released" version of this firmware from OpenWrt.  I think you can get trunk with no Luci.  You will be able to get released LEDE versions (with Luci) for GLi in the next few weeks

Hey there.

I recently bought this one:

According to this wiki page, I flashed current OpenWRT DD trunk, which works quite nice:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/gl-inet/gl-mt300a

Both devices, the A and the M version, are different when it comes to the CPU. So having the A version working doesn't necessarily mean the M version works as well. But since to me both aren't that much different in terms of compte power and the M version is currently unavailable anyway, I'd suggest going for the A one.

Stephan.
