heise | Router austauschen? So schlägt sich die alte Fritzbox 7490 gegen ihre Nachfolger
Die Fritzbox 7490 bekommt nach 13 Jahren immer noch Updates. Doch wie behauptet sie sich gegen aktuelle Router aus dem gleichen Haus?

Fritzbox 7632: Fritz' günstigster Router für G.fast-Anschlüsse
Fritz bringt seinen dritten WLAN-Router, der sich für G.fast eignet. Darüber ist 1 Gbit/s möglich, wenn ein Provider Glasfaser bis zum Gebäude legt.

Changing your home #router is a mess when you have a non-trivial amount of #smart devices.
It makes me wonder if having a permanent internal router is the way to go.

Had je al een goede reden gevonden om Odido te dumpen? Hier is NOG een reden... Odido inventariseert de apparaten in je huishouden.
"Je router stuurt namen en MAC-adressen van devices in je huis door naar Lifemote. Verder deelt het ding de SSID’s en MAC-adressen van WiFi-netwerken in de buurt. En wat analytics-stats over je dataverbruik. Lifemote adverteert met 'AI-Powered Home Wi-Fi Solutions for ISPs’".

Alright, I need fedis help here
My OpenWRT for my servers router decided to die, which made me realize that I really need to fix something that is redudant.
Preferably something rack-mounted, something that can run OPNsense - and not something that costs to much.
Ideas?

@… On other site there are passive PoE injectors that allow to do "enrich" non PoE connection with PoE using normal 5.5 input connector.

Like this - https://mikrotik.com/product/RBGPOE

So totally without PoE router/switch and without PoE Hat on raspberry you can inje…

Batteries fully charged. Flashlights are ready. UPS for router and mesh system ready, only thing connected to it is the router. UPS behind TV is ready, but, that is only for the TV. Third UPS is beside me here, fully charged and ready to go. Last UPS is connected to the upstairs mesh device. Turned up the thermostat so when (not if) we lose power the house will stay warm enough for a few hours.
Still checking out the battery backup systems, but have to save enough to buy one (acc…

That's a new one. Upgraded my router from Debian bookworm to trixie and all of the sysctls (including rather important ones like ipv4 and ipv6 forwarding) that I had set in /etc/sysctl.conf no longer applied, the file was moved to a .bak but not migrated to whatever Debian is trying to force me onto instead.
But overall far from the most painful distro upgrade I've had. I was worried all of my NICs would change names (again) and I'd have to rebuild my whole firewall configu…

testing out the connection speed. Looks good max for my Telus Fibre connection.
I toyed with the idea of getting one with a 2.5Gb class WAN port as I believe Telus is offering >1Gb connections now... but I resisted. This was only $80 and is far more feature rich than the telus router and should be just as fast if not faster thanks to better internals than the Telus router.

I fell down the self-hosting (at home) rabbit hole.
Current status: Had to disable the IPv6 router advertisement option for DNS configuration 🙁

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social I’m still having problems with Graphene and Wi-Fi. It’s only with Graphene, not with other Android devices. Apparently, Graphene – and only Graphene – prefers a 2.4 GHz connection. And it switches from 5 GHz to 2.4 GHz shortly after logging in. Which none of the other Android devices do. This is a problem for me because, although the router maintains the connection on 2.4 GHz, it doesn’t connect to the internet at 2.4Ghz.

Time to move the Starlink terminal and edge router over to the inverter so I can spend the rest of the daylight working on the electrical panel in the stables! Woohoo?

Fritzboxen 7690 und 5690 bekommen FritzOS 8.20 und 6670 Cable 8.21

I need to get a new router, my current ones dyndns service keeps locking up.

My rpi openwrt router is set up. If all works as intended I'll be surfing from my home IP address when @ my girlfriends house as it tunnels all trafic over tailscale to an exit node in my livingroom. That means.... that we can use my streaming services at her place without the provider is bugging me about another household. Well it's proof of concept right now so I'll let you know how it goes when it's installed at her place.

#rstats osrm.backend 0.2 is out.
I fixed a bug that might have caused lockup if you tried to calculate too large origin-destination matrices. Should work just fine now! (though there is a limit of course, as it works over REST API, but parallel requests are your friend).

alrighty folks! time to install the new network box!
Will see if I can fully replace the Telus router (white roundish tower thing on the top shelf) with the asus router.
there will definitely be interruptions in internet to this mstdn account, as well as to the alberniweather blog.
It would be nice if it preserves my ip address, and not need a ddns update but I doubt I will be that lucky.
See you on the flip side! I will post updates from @…

WLAN mit 1 Kilometer Reichweite: Neuer Wi-Fi-HaLow-Router von GL.iNet
Der HaLowLink 2 von GL.iNet nutzt ein Chipset von Morse Micro, das zwischen 750 und 950 MHz arbeiten kann. In Europa gibt es jedoch erhebliche Einschränkungen.

There's still room to tune - shallow memory throughput is definitely suboptimal due to latency issues I need to chase - but with deep memory ngscopeclient ThunderScope is getting some pretty impressive performance.
2 channels @ 50M point memory depth (100M points per trigger) streaming at 7.5 WFM/s over LAN from across the building through a router. 40Gbase-SR4 from client to core switch and from core switch to router, then back to core switch, then 10Gbase-SR to the machine host…

If you want Wi-Fi network to work perfectly, you need to use dedicated, specialized hardware.
At work, everything is fine, but at home I was temporarily using a mini PC with a Wi-Fi card as a router/firewall, and video streaming, for example, was suffering. Now I have an wireless access point with VLANs channeling all Wi-Fi traffic (currently with three devices simultaneously streaming via Jellyfin), and everything is running smoothly, with instant video playback.
Lesson learned.…

Sto portando avanti vari progetti di upcycling. Tra questi sto cercando di recuperare un router outdoor ZTE MC7010. Router con firmware brandizzato TIM, quindi, blindato: nessuna possibilitŠ di accesso. Qualcuno ha avuto modo di flasharci su un firmware? Sa dov'è possibile recuperarne uno?

Warum in dem Standard- Kabel-Router von Vodafone noch nicht mal der Fritz WLAN-Repeater mit IP angezeigt wird, keine Ahnung. Zum Glück konnte ich die IP dann über einen Netzwerkscan mit der Fritz WLAN App herausfinden, um mich mal in der Admin-Oberfläche des Repeaters anzumelden. Vielleicht sollte ich doch mal über eine Fritzbox Cable nachdenken, dann funktioniert das mit dem Mesh bestimmt auch besser. Naja, gibt Wichtigeres.

So I'm wondering if long term it might make sense to move the VM server from a 2U to a 4U form factor.
I'd need to move the storage cluster and core router each down 2U into a currently vacant spot to free up another 2U next to where the VM server is, but that would let me fit a much taller (and less noisy) heatsink/fan on the CPU and also enable use of full height GPUs.
Not a "now" thing but if I'm targeting a many-year service lifetime for the platform it…

Been using a number of AI models over the past week or so as work has slowed down, giving me time to explore things more deeply.
Been using Claude Code with musistudio/claude-code-router which is great as I can switch between different models on similar tasks.
Experience so far has been that Gemini 3 Flash is very good for thinking and coding tasks but the code does tend to be fragile so rewrites are needed. For tough problems where the errors are not straightforward it falls d…

verdict: I should have got this router 2 years ago.... as the apple nerds (me) say: the DNS loopback/hairpin "just worked"!
so much fun to be had with this little beasty! tons of config options.
success!

Start of the month and time to check my router for updates. No updates this month. It isn't hard to do and takes maybe one minute.

Does switches show in ARP-scan? I have to IP-adresses that's not seen in my router. Trying to find a device but none of the adresses answers on ping

Der WLAN Zirkus mit dem alten Laptop mit Lubuntu Linux hängt sicher nicht nicht an Linux, sondern eher an unserer dürftigen WLAN Infrastruktur mit dem Standard-Kabel-Router und Fritz Repeatern. Da kommt es immer wieder zu Abbrüchen. Heute hab ich genug davon, möchte nachher lieber noch Gitarre spielen.
