QUOTE(ckboon @ Mar 8 2012, 03:38 PM) meaning, if i wanna upgrade/downgrade openwrt to openwrt i will just use sysupgrade? if i restore the the trunk from your file will i get the original default setting, or the setting with iptv which had been created? Depends how you do it. If you took my compiled file, and ticked the box that tells you to reset everything after flashing, it will go back to the settings with iptv created. If you took openwrt's official images, and do the same thing as the previous sentence, it will go back to openwrt's default i.e. no vlans configured at all.anyway blindbox, take ur time, i just found out that my NAS HDD DIE!! This might be why suddenly upnp and port forward works weird from openwrt  |

QUOTE(ckboon @ Mar 11 2012, 05:43 PM) @blindbox: did u tried freedns?? i tested it but seem like openwrt fail to talk to it. It never update the ip everytime i reconnect.. You're right it doesn't work. I'll see what I can do with it.VLANs follows the IEEE's vlan standard, i.e. you can do vlan 1-4096. EDIT: I found out that freedns just doesn't work right now. It's a bug that openwrt is currently having. This post has been edited by blindbox: Mar 14 2012, 09:08 AM |

QUOTE(ahlong @ Mar 14 2012, 12:24 PM) i've found a solution for freedns (afraid.org) to update the ip everytime the WAN unplugged/plugged or modem reboot. Your solution works soo much better than mine. THANKS! at this office rite now, so no screenshot. sorry guys.. so heres the step: assuming ur at the MYDDNS TAB: 1. Service - Select CUSTOM -after select CUSTOM OPTION, automatically the below OPTION become CUSTOM UPDATE-URL 2. Go to http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/ and u will see ur own hostname there eg: ahlong.smokeganja.org - see the Direct URL button? point ur mouse there and copy the entire URL and put it in the CUSTOM UPDATE-URL field at ur modem. - this because afraid.org changed their update ipaddress using a unic hash sums for user. 3. Hostname - ur previous hostname 4. Passwd - urs not mine (haha) 5. Source of IPaddress - Interface 6. Interface - WAN (pppoe-wan) Others leave it to default 7. Save & Apply then try reboot ur modem and check back the IP address. Sorry for the long explaination. Will try to take a screenshot tonite at home. hope u guys understand my step? haha?  |

QUOTE(klseet @ Mar 16 2012, 03:11 AM) Ok, managed to get the ExtRoot & Transmission working (based on TL-MR3420) Great stuff bro. http://klseet.com/index.php?option=com_con...=148&Itemid=128 steps should be the same for TL-WR1043ND  Now, the only problem now is that updating openwrt is going to be a pain. There's the opkg upgrade command to update all your packages when you update openwrt though. Good thing is that their development cycle is like yearly. |

I have two WR1043ND, both running the same OpenWRT firmware.
One of them has rock stable wifi despite the amount of tx errors that sometimes pop out (easily remedied by telling the router to restart the wifi every night). Another is unstable despite using the same firmware as the stable one. My gut tells me that if it fails even with OpenWRT, RMA it. Anyway, I did say that I'm going to upload yet another build. I'm going to remember it, I have the firmware ready, just need to press the upload button once I get home. It's hard to compare broadcom with Atheros, before you spout out any accusation. Broadcom is stuck with proprietary, you're stuck with vendor firmware most of the time and you can only do repeater with broadcom-to-broadcom, most of the time, of identical devices too. Somewhere else on other part of the world, people have set up a wireless mesh with a bunch of Atheros devices easily, vendor interchangeable. Atheros improves over time in the open-source community (for fans like me), while broadcom is stagnant over there. In terms of stock firmwares, it's just in my opinion that WR1043ND's might not be as good as Buffalo (Buffalo is especially good) or Netgear. I've got my fair share of sucky broadcom routers however there are good ones. ASUS's broadcom models are worth mentioning. Linksys hasn't been trying to compete spec-wise, I don't know why. They're just riding the cisco brand name. Broadcom is no way a viable alternative for an OpenWRT user. I'd just say if you wanna go WR1043ND, go OpenWRT, apply the settings I posted a couple of pages ago, set up a cronjob to restart the wifi every 5 AM.

QUOTE(ckboon @ Apr 24 2012, 12:14 PM) err... I think you get some of the stuff wrong here.. Let me start from the scratch... The last time I had this problem was that it's unifi's fault not the router's. My connection has been rock-stable though.there's actually 1 problem arise that made me switch to Openwrt, which is I can't access to my unit URL after a certain period of time which is very inconsistent whereas it can range from 30mins to 3 days(the max i get). For the forum it seem like it's a command problem for tplink firmware (UNIFI ver only?) since they are some members getting the same effect, and I got 2 unit of 1043 which runs on different location too facing this problem. Hence I switch to Openwrt. I've install the stock from blindbox first trunk edition, and it's working like a charm for more than 2 months, and i can access to my unit URL whenever I want even after 1 months or 2 months running it 24/7. Only recently the disconnection from WAN (PPPoE) keep arising. Once it's disconnected, I can't do anything as you can see from my previous post, it shows a (?) sign. I need to pull and re-connected back the WAN to get the link up. It's very annoying when this happen so many times when I was gaming. So the next thing I do is upgrade to backfire. *** I only know that I can upgrade from openwrt firmware to openwrt and not install the full, so i just upgraded it, but I still faced the same problem, and I switch to blindbox latest trunk and still the same. I got no choice but to revert back my firmware to tplink stock, and just within 2 hrs the connection drop again. But then i rebooted my whole units and the connection is up till now which is 2 days with the same IP without any problem, but I am suspecting a disconnection very very soon  my tplink is just pure router switch wireless usage. I don't plug in usb and setup a print server. I got a hw NAS which is configure with transmission and can support Raid0/1 and running on giga speed. just in-case u cant find the image.. i will just repost it with the log on Openwrt » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « **** the image shown is before i unplug the WAN connection.. The link just drop like tat.. and look at the log.. Seem like my unit cannot find any active link and just terminate the whole connection What do you mean by 'unplugging' the WAN connection? did you take out the cable on the router and put it back in, or did you plug out the fiber wire from the modem and put it back in? Lack of info here methinks. There's always the probability of you getting a bad unit. Speaking of which then, I'm going to write a mini-guide on how to revert back to factory firmware soon. |
