His R&D team is pretty dedicated
Let me rephrase A Full Team dedicated soely to RnD.
Same. I would have custom cabinets and workbenches made to fit the room. Right now Iām relying on some sketchy IKEA hacks
Given a Bruce Wayne type budget, Iādā¦
A.) Be on Every Single Government Watchlist.
B.) Become a Legend whose Legendary Legend would be told for hundreds of years to come in hushed tones, spoken of only in the glow of a single solitary fire.
C.) Crater. Big Big Crater.
D.) All of the above.
At least thatās my hope.
We already are
This can easily be arranged
Get out of my head, on both counts!
Iāve been looking for two small routers that are supported by openwrt with either a directional antenna or a removable antenna. It can be a 2.4GHz only model.
The TP-Link TL-MR3020 is apparently available at a few local stores but itās EOL and Iād need to do the external antenna mod and replace both memory chips. Another option would be a Nanostation M2 or something along those lines.
If else fails, Iām strapping an old WiFi card to a Raspberry PI 3ā¦ But I want something a little nicer, and ideally with Mediatek hardware. Iām also a big fan of Atheros but their latest CPUs donāt have the best open source support.
I have one of these, they run their own custom version of openwrt but I think you should be able to flash the normal version without issue. Itās pretty cheap at like $40
Oh, they also have this one. Thereās a version with removable external antennas
I have a GL-iNet router already and itās one of the models that is supported by the official openwrt project and I love it.
Iāll look into their cheaper options with removable antennas. These products feel so weird nowadays, back when I was messing with open source router firmwares you could buy one of several TP-Link models and get an Atheros chipset with an awesome radio in a product with detachable antennas.
Now that Qualcomm bought Atheros, the open source side of things has dwindled on their platforms and Mediatek is becoming the standard. So everything different and more confusing now. Also, detachable antennas are becoming rare, which is fine for most users but annoying if you want to set up a point to point link or cover a large outdoor area. Still, high gain antennas require care and you should read the regulations regarding EIRP before using them.
Back in the day, I messed with antenna design and distributed element filters and it helped me survive a dark time.
Qualcomm really is a blight on the open source community. If they were better about main-lining their Linux support it would be a different story, but its one of the reasons why mobile Linux hasnāt taken off
And it bothers me that they bought out the company that used to make the best WiFi chipsets on the market. I still have an Alfa AWUS036NHA that I absolutely love even if itās Mini USB. That card is absolutely amazing for anything regarding the 2.4GHz band.
This looks like a nice router if youāre willing to put up with development snapshots of OpenWRT for a while:
I dropped my Mikrotik hAP ac2 and now I have to solder a coil back to the boardā¦ So I dusted my Edgerouter Lite for the time being.
If thereās something I love about Tik is how they support their devices for ages, and thatās on the latest version of their RouterOS. But this is to be expected as all of their products that are based on the same CPU architecture use the same firmware image.
Guess that now I have a to fix my Tik, or replace it with an AX alternative.
Iām pretty sure that you all know that I have a server rack at homeā¦
I need the inverse of that book. I need a book to help my parents understand that Iām not weird for having a server in my house.
im well passed that
Nah, I make sure everyone knows that I have a server rack
