I posted recently about wanting to install OpenWrt.

I just wanted to thank everybody who gave advice and encouragement. It was very quick and easy to setup.

I had some very small issues:

  • I had to reboot my internet modem to get internet working. Duh.
  • I initially didn’t put my country code for wifi, even though the docs say this is important. My bad.
  • I initially set my wifi to WPA3, but I had to switch to WPA2 for my Roku. My bad for owning a Roku.

So far I’ve installed adblock and wireguard extensions, although I haven’t enabled the wireguard yet.

What other extensions do people recommend?

Thanks again!

    you can have wpa2 and wpa3 on the same radios.

    IME this caused all clients to disconnect and cease being able to auth. I just don’t run mixed auth for that reason.

    2.4Ghz/W.G has WPA2 and 5Ghz/W.N/W.AC has WPA3. That’s what works for me on my LinkSys WRT 3200AC.
