Re: Wireguard on ROOter?

For what it's worth I tried the latest GoldenOrb from Rooter in my WG3526-P. It didn't quite work. Flashing the firmware went fine. I can login to the admin and see WireGuard in the VPN menu so it's tantalizingly close. I'm still just tethering on USB. The usb0 port was appearing etc but I just coul...

Re: Visible 5Mbps Throttle workarounds

I do not have visible but would bet all of this would be eliminated by routing through a VPN. Wouldn't think the additional TTL changes were necessary, probably just the VPN. If they use TTL to detect tethering then a VPN won't change that. We're talking about different layers of the network stack....

Re: Wireguard on ROOter?

Okay thanks. I might try it in the next day or two.

By "custom settings" you mean settings that I've edited, right? If i had to go back to a factory reset and reload the WiFix firmware, it would be back to how it was out of the box, right?

Re: Wireguard on ROOter?

This might be a little off topic but what's really the difference between the WiFix version of GoldenOrb and the version from the Rooter project? I assume the WiFix version has been tested and approved by The Wireless Haven but is there much risk in trying the later version? Is the situation this: T...

Re: Wireguard on ROOter?

The latest builds of rooter and WiFiX have Wireguard built into the firmware. Where do I find that build? I recently bought a WG3526. It's running GoldenOrb_2021-02-20 which is the latest version on the WiFix Google drive but there is no sign of WireGuard. Is there a later version which is not publ...

Re: Wireguard on ROOter?

I will have to test the WireGuard built into the latest GoldenOrb, however that still doesn't solve the lack of your WiFi 5G. And the GL-AR750S will probably give you a little better performance too. True although I changed my mind several times and finally decided to go with the WG3526-P and order...

Re: Wireguard on ROOter?

Thanks Bill, yes, I was starting to think of doing much the same thing. i.e, running WireGuard on another separate router. I've also lowered my requirements and cost a little in that I think a NEXQ6GO-U will suit me just fine so I'll shut down the Wi-Fi on that and use a GL-AR750S which I already ha...

Re: Wireguard on ROOter?

I'm also interested to hear of any news on this. i.e., Has anyone managed to get WireGuard working on the The Wireless Haven version of GoldenOrb?

I'm thinking of buying a WG3526-P with a EM7511 and I was hopping to do WireGuard on the WAN.

Re: Any experience with No Limit Data?

From the plans page
900 GB is considered the average use for Pink Plan. Usage above 900GB is considered data abuse and your account will be under review.
And from the terms and conditions
The Pink plans have a 900Gb limit
They don't seem to understand what "average" means.

Re: Suggested Gear for ATT data plan

AT&T does require you to go to one of their stores to buy the prepaid Data plans and sim (means you have to pay a $15 activation fee). I think you can buy and activate it online here with your own SIM: https://www.att.com/prepaid/activations/#/activate.html That didn't work for me because it di...

Re: AT&T Unlimited for Tablet Plan Question

You can tether ANY Android phone or tablet to a mobile router or RaspberryPI via usb or WiFi, and the hotspot limit can be bypassed simply by setting the proper TTL. Thanks, I'll certainly give it yet another go. I successfully use a TTL setting of 65 when I use the same hardware to tether a phone ...

I can disable video throttling on SimpleMobile and PagePlus through my dealer account (on new lines only), but for other carriers you could use EasyTether, a VPN, or a regular proxy. You're misunderstanding what problem I'm solving with EasyTether. It's not general speed, video throttling or otherw...

In case it's not obvious, there's lots of *.speedtestcustom sites. They're a "private label" version of Ookla's speedtest.net without the ads. I think the backend is the same.
