So custom its not custom.

I put OpenWRT on my router to use it as a signal repeater

>>61582893
What do you use, smart ass?

ive used tomato then moved to ddwrt when i felt more comfy

then i moved to openwrt for the foss aspect

now im on lede because it has a newer kernel

why?

honestly theres no reason not to

>>61582893
Because my TV's need WiFi.

>>61582906
Thats it?

>>61582915
I use a rj45 cable plugged right into the modem u fuck.

>>61582915
I'm on the mlg circuit. I only use the highest quality fiber cables hooked directly into the modem.

>>61582930
better hope you have your firewall setup correctly

>>61582925
Yes, the firmware it came with didn't have the option.

>>61582920
>minimal and optimized performance(runs cooler)
That and iptables seem to be good enough reasons for me.

Using the web interface is much faster and it doesnt use all the ram/cpu in my router. the stock firmware I had was using 70% all the time.

also being able to run commands via telnet/ssh is sweet

Been using dd-wrt since like 2010. Better than any other stock firmware

>>61582872
I had a hard time deciding between an Edgerouter X and putting pfSense on something, I went with the Edgerouter because getting five ports on a compatible device for pfSense would have been much more expensive.

Question,

Lets say you have a modem with 2 Ethernet ports.
Router is connected to 1, desktop is connected to 1.

Is it possible for the desktop to be recognized as a dhcp client even though it's not directly connected to the router?

>>61582948
Not him, but what's the danger in connecting directly to the modem? Would Windows firewall be enough?

>>61583025
Would depend on the configuration of the modem

Not quite a firmware, but I use OPNsense on my PC Engines APU2. I wanted to run plain OpenBSD so I could learn the command line tools for routing and firewall stuff, but I got lazy and went with OPNsense instead. I can still use it as if it was a plain FreeBSD system tho.

>>61583040
>exposing Windows directly to WAN
HELL NO

>>61583047
I see.
The reason I'm asking is because I wanted to have my desktop connected directly to the modem.

However since the desktop isn't 'visible' in the router, it means it can't be seen by Plex on my TV in my local network.

It also means I can't access the router status page from my desktop

>>61583101
What's wrong with having your desktop behind the router?

>>61583115
Isn't being directly wired to the modem faster than being wired to a router?

>>61583132
I mean, theoretically there's probably a couple ms latency but not enough to worry about...unless your router is either really really shitty or the ports are limited to less than your WAN connection.

Sup anon

>>61582872
My botnet handles all that nerdy shit for me

connection directly to the WAN is very dangerious for multiple reasons

1. your router cant protect that individuals ip/mac

instead of it being a multiplexed ip adress and a local address its a direct address (i can directly attack your computer instead of the router which hides multiple computers under a single IP)

second you dont have the protection the routers firewall

make sure you have upnp, samba, telnet, smb, ssh, ping all turned off

block all the ports sept 80 and 43 and what ever else you need

even then i wouldnt suggest this on windows

only linux/*bsd

any performance gained would be latency reduction and not a bandwidth(a fraction of a fraction of a second)

>>61583311
so is connecting to the modem by default allowing all ports to be open and relying on your computers firewall for filtering?

>>61583373
i connect directly to the modem and i don't use a firewall.

>>61582872
I wanted to but then I realized just setting a strong password so people can't get into my router easily is good enough. The ISP owns it anyway, I don't want to have to pay for it because I flashed it with some autistic linux shit.

>>61582872
I flashed my WRT54G this spring with dd-wrt and it's amazing. Do it anon, you won't regret it.

>>61583507
>The ISP owns it anyway
Why the FUCK are you using stock ISP modem/router?

Also, using DD-Wrt isn't just about security.

I sincerely hope this is a joke.
The fact that its a "direct address" means nothing, one IP per router isnt to "hide" multiple computers, its because ISP's charge extra for extra IPs and theres no reason to do so for the average home.
Router firewall protection is minimal and rudimentary.
Really? Pretending theres a telnet and SSH server running by default on peoples Windows PCs?
Do you think raw hacker data is going to seep through the ports and infect the computer? Theres a slim chance leaving ports open would ever be dangerous.

Ubiquiti equipment has turned out to be total trash in any professional deployment I've had the displeasure of working with it in (mainly their EdgeMax switches), but the EdgeRouter Lite has actually been pretty decent for my home network needs.

Was considering flashing DD-WRT onto my Netgear R7000, however I've read that the signal strength/range suffers from flashing it. I do need to extend the Wi-Fi signal a bit so that it reaches my aunt's apartment 3 floors above me. It already does reach it, but not at the max connectivity (think 75-80% connectivity using the Wi-Fi symbol as a reference).

While I'm at it, and since it is somewhat relevant: any recommendations for a USB Wi-Fi connector for a desktop PC? Sadly & unfortunately, I have a PC won't be near an Ethernet jack/the router.

>>61584012
you are incorrect because the argument of direct addresses is a valid one

its one of the reasons people are worried about ipv6 because every individual device has its own address

maybe you should learn more before being so critical

>>61584081
>however I've read that the signal strength/range suffers from flashing it
You can boost the signal strength by adjusting the Tx power

>>61583585
i think it gives a chance for the data from those accounts to be flagged as "out of date" if they are deleted so that its cleared out of the meta data swarm eventually

Is running a VPN over the entire router a good idea?

I have fiber speeds, but the VPN server closest to me only offers a max speed of 150mbps. Seems like a huge trade off for security.

>>61583040
Thats like saying, what's the danger in climbing a mountain butt ass naked? Wouldn't your skin be enough?

>>61584081
>>61584114
this guy is correct.
with open/ddwrt/lede you gain more control over your RF

you can change the channel and output
and theres even a measured distance you can input to further pinpoint a client

>>61584012
[email protected]:22

password is
'p@ssw0rd'

I got that high security IP address DIRECTLY from my router. Come at me butt fucker

>>61584135
>a max speed of 150mbps
Realistically you don't need anything beyond 100mbps except is edge cases of sustained high throughput transfers (e.g. mirroring a linux repository or serving up videos to hundreds).

>>61584162
what's a safe number to increase it that doesn't fry the router?

Also does changing the channel width for 2ghz do anything?(40mhz instead of the default 20mhz)

>>61584135
>good idea
you have to be more specific?

its a good idea in the sense of security because its less hassle

there is a performance hit for bandwitch but theres also a performance gain for CPUs (every client doesnt waste cpu cycles on VPN traffic since the router handles it)

also its easier if you have normies who access your wifi

you can always create another NAT that is private to one of your devices via a static IP or portforwarding

PS im jealous of your bandwidth

>>61584081 why not just get a wifi card? Also you can boost the signal of DD-WRT, or get an aftermarket antennae. Or both. Or neither. Or you could drill a hole in your neighbors wall and run an ethernet cord through their bushes and into your second story window, but only have enough cable so that you can plug in if you hang your laptop part way out the window.

>>61584186
>Realistically you don't need
The first day I got fiber I used 600GB in 1 day.
please do not tell me what i 'need'

>>61584191
Start with 150, the built-in default, and increase by increments of 25 until you hear CPU coil whines from the router.

>>61584224
>The first day I got fiber I used 600GB in 1 day.
What the fuck do you do with your internet, redownloading BD raws non-stop?

>>61584239
Downloading GTA V over and over all day to show your friend and family how fast it is.

>>61584191
there should be a limited cap for your chipset

i personally dont use more than is required(it states in the wifi that this could be used to increase security)

channel width is about RF noise

if you have a lot of people around you all using channel 6 and you are using channel 8 you will have better performance than on channel 6

bigger channels mean you have a wider spectrum but its not as effective the thinner you spread it
(radio signals arent perfect and they kind of float around)

if you live in the middle of nowhere you could take over a lot of channels for instance

if you live in the burbs or a apartment you should stay within your channel
(otherwise you are using more power to over come their own RF)

that in turn uses more electricity and increases heat and cpu/memory

I have 30TB.
This is nothing

>>61584206
>wifi card

Hmmm, never actually though of that. I assume the reason you mention it is because it's a superior way to connect wireless than via USB?

>>61584288
pci is faster but usb is more convenient. Depends on whether you want to be able to use it in multiple computers. Also the usb will probably cost more money for the performance you get out of it

>>61584288
wifi cards use PCIe or which has way more bandwidth than a USB port

you will have more stable and faster speed

also antennas do go a long way with 2.4/5GHZ another trick is to place your router in a corner on the opposite side of your client and line the corner with foil or metal

this directs all of the RF towards the client

you can also put a can or funnel around the recieving clients antenna

btw 2.4GHZ penetrates walls and is further ranged than 5GHZ

5GHZ adds more bandwidth though

Hey, thanks anons for the tips. I've looked and compared on Amazon. You know what though, I completely forgot that a few years ago I bought a Powerline adapter. Sadly I can only find one adapter, though I know I had the 2nd one around here somewhere.

>>61584349

>>61584202
>there is a performance hit for bandwitch but theres also a performance gain for CPUs
I use NordVPN, and actually, it's hard to find a server that even has 40mbps downstream near me. Considering I have multiple devices connected, that's going to really slow things down.

>>61584371
I've had a lot of success with powerline adapters, especially with running plex over my network to my tv

Thoughts on Asus Wrt Merlin?

I have an Asus RT-N66U.

>>61582872
Try OpenWRT my man, works on MIPS, x86, ARM, and a bunch of other architechtures

though honestly I would probably try pfSense instead.

I want to mirror a linux repo when I get 1GB Fiber

what should I do?

>>61585335
apply to redhat

So what's the best alternative concerning security? I never bothered to thinker my router so I am kind of lost here and would greatly appreciate any help.

>>61585405
Any customer firmware is better than stock.
Open-wrt
dd-wrt
tomato
etc

For example, I just setup VPN tunneling, at the router. It's set so that only my desktop is tunneled through the VPN(I see no reason why my TV's would need it).

You can take this further and set it so that the VPN is only applied to specific ports. So for example, if you only wanted the VPN effecting bit torrent traffic or a game.

Other neat features include adjusting the wifi signal. The most important thing about CFW is that it's updated often, meaning major vulnerabilities get fixed quickly

>>61582872
I've had DD-WRT on my DIR-825 since 2008, it's going to hit 10 years soon and I feel like I want to make the hop to AC wifi.

However, I can't live without custom DDNS (namecheap) to link my server to my domain.

I want to make the leap to an Asus AC66U/AC68U but I'm unsure if the Asus Merlin firmware has the custom DDNS functionality to work with namecheap.

Wut do?

>>61585638
Thank you, just one more question, if I somehow fuck up the installation could I brick my router?

DIR-615 with DDWRT, its okay.

I have really slow net, so qos is a lifesaver when I play vidya.

>>61585707
The only way it'll brick is if your power goes out while it's being flashed.(Which goes by fast)

>>61585720
I wanted to fuck with QoS, but figured its a bit pointless since I have unlimited data and fiber speeds, plus I'm the only one using this connection

>>61585732
Thank you.

There's nothing wrong with having a dedicated IP, the only valid response someone gave was that of running a SSH server with a bad password on their LAN, how about just.. Not using a bad password? Do you think nobody uses SSH on servers that are totally open?

>>61585670
I guess it works? At least it has the option.

If you have discover and can do price protection, you can get the asus rt ac3100 for $69.

I bought an R7000 (Netgear) about a month ago because I read here that it was one of the best routers to use ddwrt on. But I can't find this model on the DDwrt website? There's another one I've found via Google --- it legit? The Kong one?

Strange that there's an article from ddwrt.com about how well it pairs with the R7000 but when you go to search for it on the website under "compatible routers" or whatever, it's not listed there

>>61582930
Your modem is a router then, unless you set up a PPPoE connection on your computer in order to authenticate with your ISP, which would mean your computer is Internet facing and I hope you have a good firewall because your computer would be exposed to any attacks from the Internet.

>>61587564
Well, that makes me feel a lot better to see namecheap support.

Cheapest AC68U is $156 USD in my country.
The AC3100 is aka AC88U right? Those are like $290USD here

I was thinking of going for the AC66U+ (B1) the 68U's USB 3.0 + 2.0 is what made my choice in the end.

>>61583132
In terms of latency, no. Wired latencies should stay below 1ms through several local routers.
In terms of throughput, depends on how much other traffic you get on the network.

I kept using these firmwares but they always had bugs. They are just unfit for everyday use basically. (kinda xda custom rom feel)

>>61587800
Yeah, you can't trust stock firmware on any router. Most custom firmwares have sane presets though, nothing open from the outside by default.

That sucks anon. You can pretty much abuse Walmart clearance deals here by using price protection on out of stock items.
I also have an older ac68u and it was great. I only upgraded because I was getting 300/300 over wifi. I use it as a media bridge for my desktop now and I get 600/900. Not as good as Ethernet, but I don't feel like running cables.

>>61582872

is dd-wrt still being updated on newer routers?

I recently looked it up for my WRT54G and it's still the same version that I installed onto it years ago

Use openwrt or openbsd

For the hardware, get an apu2

Happily using OpenWRT. Planning to jump to LibreCMC when I select compatible hardware.

Yes. I do it to keep separate networks and restrict the bandwidth on one of them because I can't be bothered to spell out a 16 characters long WiFi password to all of my guests and my neighbours are fucking trash.

>>61589452
No, but I can overcome the limited flash problem by storing programs in ram.
It wouldn't be hard to setup an script to redownload something like openvpn everytime at boot. because I can't store it in flash

>>61585192
It's based on the open-sourced stock FW, so you will be only gaining features and fixes.

what can u say about LEDE compared to DDwrt?

im thinking of switching to LEDE from DDWRT

>>61582872
I'm using Merlin on my AC68U, it's honestly been so long since I've installed it that I no longer remember what features the stock version lacked.

>>61590949
LEDE is harder to use, but it gives you more options. It's like the Gentoo of routers

>>61585670
>I'm unsure if the Asus Merlin firmware has the custom DDNS functionality to work with namecheap
Merlin has custom DDNS that lets you provide your own update script, so everything should work essentially. There are built-in options too though and namecheap is one of them, so you won't even need a custom script.

>>61590344
How much flash space does it leave for the user?
I am fine with my current state of router. The only thing I wish i had is openvpn.
If I can somehow fit it in lede, then I might consider switching. otherwise I'm not sure if there is much point, You have like 3mb free ram more than me. that's not really worth the trouble

>>61592070
I have only 4MB (220.00 KB free) on this router. You'll need at least 8MB to install more packages...

>>61582872

pfSense on a router. OpenWRT on a wireless access point.

Yeah, I'm little tinfoil about my networking.

>>61582872
I'm retarded when it comes to networking and routers, never could get port forwarding to work because my ISP changed the password on the supplied router and said "u'll mess up ur TVs if u touch anything" when I asked for it.
I'm kinda worried I would fuck everything up if I messed with it. Should I look into getting a new router and fuck around with firmwares there?

>>61592216
I know, 741nd and 841nd are quite similar to each other.
openwrt gives me 256KB free out of the box. It's possible to trim it a little, but not nearly enough to fit openvpn.
I toyed with the idea of using some sort of remote storage, like nfs/sshfs etc. but again, too little space to fit any remote filesystem software.
I wouldn't mind upgrading to 8MB but I don't have any 64mbit spi flash laying around, and I don't wanna pay triple the price of one to get it shipped here.
I also thought about modding a usb port into my router, even have all the parts (I think), but it's too much work and I keep putting it off

>>61587800
This is horrible.

It means anyone running a port scanner will check the default telnet port and pray that the person was dumb enough to have the default user/pass.

If they get access, they can do whatever the fuck they want

backdoors

>>61588088
Yes and no.

Some companies such as TPLink are banning CFW due to legal issues.

For example, the Archer C5400 does not support any CFW.

>>61592318
Yeah, I agree.
It is more easily to just buy a powerful one than to do all that.

>>61589408
It is.

My stock router firmware was using 70% of my fucking ram, all the time.

If I moved 'too fast' in the web GUI, it would basically shut off

Fucking pleb, get thef uck out.

>my ISP changed the password on the supplied router and said "u'll mess up ur TVs if u touch anything"
lol what

That's a bit of an insult.
I knew nothing about networking or routers yet last week I got a modem + router, flashed dd-wrt on it, setup openVPN tunneling and got everything working properly.

Maybe in the 90's you couldve fucked something up

ISHYGDDT

>>61592442
Yeah, If I ever decide to get an upgrade, I'll get something with 512mb+ ram and gigabytes of storage.
There are so many cheap arm based dev boards with hardware like this out there. Surely it wouldn't be impossible to find one that comes with atleast 2 gbit ethernets (one of which will go into a switch). that way I can have a full debian system with all the functionality I want.
As a matter of fact, my nano pi has exactly everything I need, sadly it only has one 100mbit ethernet port. I wonder If I can add another using usb

>>61583019
You should've just made a pfSense box and then used a switch.

>>61583077
How does OPNsense compare to pfSense, any idea?

>>61592558
that's a little overkill, but I guess you want to use it as a home server, or something like that. It can work, so go for it if you really want.

>I wonder If I can add another using usb
yeah, you can, with an ethernet dongle, if you have driver for it

>>61592843
Yeah I have everything laying around to convert my nano pi into a full blown router, except an ethernet dongle.
It does sound overkill.. I really don't do much with my router. the only thing openwrt gave me over the stock firmware is 6in4 tunnel for ipv6.

>>61582920
problem with stock routers are the embedded mips/arm crap. your security lacks features because your device can't handle a lot due to memory limitations. also iptables is god awful and ddwrt and openwrt had long issues for rebind attacks, which the edgy neighborhood kiddy doesn't know affects your security. also shitty backdoor chips with arm trustzone etc

>>61593006
why would you want your nanopi function as router? i could understand if you'd use it as a repeater but come on, it's an allwinner board, they are shit. everything allwinner based is a disaster when it comes to drivers, don't burden yourself with it, for your own sanity sake

>>61592654
opnsense isn't going to make your old hardware obsolete in its next version

>>61593304
allwinner has been getting consistent mainline support recently. mainline ethernet support finally coming in 4.13

>>61593373
arm is far from comfortable and/or stable to use for things like a router. even if allwinner is getting mainline support, their stuff looks good on paper but performs meh. might as well get an odroid C (basically a pi with gigabit ethernet)

>>61587972
Do you have a for dummies guide on how to do that

>>61593639
if you need a guide for networking stuff, you should not do networking stuff, because you won't be able to debug it nor secure your network (actually the exact opposite)

read a book on networking first

I have a pfsense box, but I'm looking into getting my wlan speeds to this century.

Does anyone have experience with Xiaomi mi wifi router 3's? I could but a half a dozen of them and throw them all around the house.

How do you know if your dd-wrt install is vulnerable? Most of the wiki pages and forum threads encourage you to use old builds that users have report "stable", but obviously those builds include old, unpatched kernels and other software

The forums are shit, and the website is worse.
All the website does is tell you what version to use.
Then you download the latest 'beta' from the FTP site.
Don't run 'stable' DD-WRT from 2012.

Yeah, easier to configure, more options, and no arbitrary restrictions
