Upgrading from stock to cc 15.05.1

! There seems to be some instability on the 5Ghz with this release.
The log started filling up with errors
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: SWBA overrun on vdev 0, skipped old beacon
causing dropped connections, and failure to connect.
Reboot seems to fix it temporarily.

---

NBG6716 not sure which HW version v1.0 or A01 , could not locate version markings on the outside of the casing.
Currently running V1.00(AAKG.7)C0.

Basically following the openwrt wiki :
ssh into box, wget owrt firmware image 15.05.1 for ar71xx/nand
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/ar71xx/nand/openwrt-15.05.1-ar71xx-nand-nbg6716-squashfs-factory.bin
and write to flash
mtd -r write <FWfile> /dev/mtd7/
wait for reboot...
and that all went flawless as expected,
first boot stuff is next
telnet to 192.168.1.1,
passwd
exit
since this is a full wrt release we can go straight into luci or SSH if you prefer.

wpad - caching proxy part 2

proxy autoconfig is a combination of DHCP optons, and a bit of JS in a wpad.dat file. under  network>hostnames  add an entry ' wpad ' pointing to your router's lan-ip then create a /www/wpad.dat file (got mine from here ). and changed the default rule to point to polipo - 10.0.0.1:8123 also changed .local into .lan for lan hosts , and commented some stuff out that didn't seem relevant. function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { // If the hostname matches, send direct. //   if (dnsDomainIs(host, "intranet.domain.com") || //        shExpMatch(host, "(*.abcdomain.com|abcdomain.com)")) //        return "DIRECT"; // If the protocol or URL matches, send direct.     if (url.substring(0, 4)=="ftp:" ||         shExpMatch(url, "http://abcdomain.com/folder/*"))         return "DIRECT"; // If the requested website is hosted within the internal network, send direct. ...

Traffic accounting

Got this from here: http://www.catonmat.net/blog/traffic-accounting-with-iptables/ All i'm interested in is my monthly bandwidth consumption, not the individual devices, there are plenty of forum threads/tools to do that. But why bring in additional tools when iptables has it all? iptables -N TRAFFIC_ACCT iptables -I FORWARD -j TRAFFIC_ACCT iptables -A TRAFFIC_ACCT and to just get the number: iptables -L TRAFFIC_ACCT -v | sed -n 3p | cut -d' ' -f2 to reset the counters /usr/sbin/iptables -L TRAFFIC_ACCT -Z the cron job to reset at the begining of the month, and a daily telegram msg 1 0 1 * * /usr/sbin/iptables -L TRAFFIC_ACCT -Z  0 8 * * * /usr/bin/curl -s -X POST https://api.telegram.org/<BOTID>/sendMessage -d chat_id=<CHATID> -d text="$(/usr/sbin/iptables -L TRAFFIC_ACCT -v | /bin/sed -n 3p | /usr/bin/cut -d' ' -f3)" >/dev/null 2>&1 (you'll need to opkg install ca-bundle for the https to work)

Guest Wifi

Image
another feature of the orginal firmware, so let's see if we can add this ourselves.. first create a new wireless network, Network>Wifi>Add (select the radio you want, I'm going for a 2.4Ghz one) ! leave the wireless radio settings as is, those settings will affect all other networks on the same radio. Attach the new SSID to (a new) network 'guest' set Wireless security as you would normally. Now go to Network>Interfaces>Guest>Edit Change protocol to 'Static Address' and confirm Fill in a static ip addr (on a different subnet from your regular LAN) and netmask (255.255.255.0). On the same page ' Setup DHCP Server ', you can leave the default settings. ! luci might reload the page here, check your IPv4 addr is still set. next: Firewall Settings tab, so your guests can get out on to the internets Create/Assign firewall-zone : Guest Now go to Network>Firwall>Guest>edit   and   set Input to reject . and under In...
