Florian 'floe' Echtler<p>Got a weird issue with my router (Asus RT-AC88U, <a href="https://hci.social/tags/OpenWRT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenWRT</span></a> 24.10.1): occasionally, WiFi clients cannot contact any other devices on my LAN except the router itself.</p><p>When this happens, I can always still ping 192.168.1.1 (the router), and e.g. 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS), but not e.g. 192.168.1.219 (PiHole DNS server). </p><p>I have a hunch that this is somehow related to the settings on the bridge device that unifies WiFi and Ethernet, but I can't find exactly what to look for... 🤔</p><p><a href="https://hci.social/tags/dns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dns</span></a> <a href="https://hci.social/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>networking</span></a></p>

Craig Brozefsky<p>My WNDR3800 has been running OpenWRT since 2011, routing all my traffic, running two WiFi radios, and being a wireguard hub. Additionally its providing anonymized and encrypted DNS to all my devices. Even outside the house I’m routed thru it via Wireguard on all my portable devices and laptops.</p><p>Every year or so i do a sysupgrade, to get to the latest stable release. 14 years, and continually improving, no regressions so far, and only the occasional adjustment to my hand rolled scripts when a service gets run in a ujail or upstream packages get abandoned.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/openwrt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openwrt</span></a> is an amazing collaborative project that delivers so much value, with so little hassle, on so many devices!</p>

Jan-Lukas Else <p>A small update to <a href="https://jlelse.blog/posts/better-wifi-asus" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">my post from yesterday</a>:</p>
<p>I did one final (really, the last one!) optimization to my network (luckily without new hardware). Instead of letting the new ASUS router do all the networking and QoS, I repurposed one of my GL.iNet Beryl AX routers with vanilla OpenWRT as the main router, doing SQM, DHCP, DNS proxying, and all the other stuff. Now the ASUS is running in Access Point Mode, handling just the mesh WiFi and partly acting as a LAN switch (because the Beryl AX has just one WAN and one LAN port). My bufferbloat is much better (or non-existent), and the Cloudflare Speedtest is showing me “Great” in all categories, even when connected with WiFi to the repeater.</p>
<p>I think I will stay without cake-autorate, but try to tweak the optimal SQM bandwidth limits a bit over the following days.</p>
