DD-WRT users, taas ang kamay!

  • ^forget DD-WRT, go with pfsense or mikrotik.
  • Post deleted #11745960
  • @polka,

    small pang business lng sir. medyo big time na ung pfesense or microtik.
    yung tipong pwede ko lng i-controll guest login based sa time.
    like pwede ko gumawa ng username (guest1) then bigay ko yung password, ako rin magseset ng time kung gano katagal per user.
    para siyang cisco na lobby ambasador sa WLC sana.

    so ang naging idea ko is if kaya ni DD-WRT na magredirect sa isang login page na magquequery ng username password na nkastore sa isang external database, or sa router mismo ung user database.

    TIA.
  • ^if youre worried about the cost dont worry may entry level ang mikrotik.

    and I dont think calling it a bigtime for using mikrotik, specially pfsense that even ordinary users uses this as a replacement on their weak routers.

    also DDWRT doesnt have such standalone wifi captive portal feature you want, meron sya but will rely on a external server for radius and web server, a standard consumer router will not be able to handle that such function.
  • tama si polka. Nag start din ako sa dd-wrt pero nalilimitihan pa rin ako eh. Ngayon ok na ok ako sa mikrotik. Andun na lahat ng gusto ko + 70% features nya eh hinde ko nagamit kahit pang consumer lang binili ko na router.

    Mahirap lang sa mikrotik eh aralin :D
  • @polka,

    anong model ni mikrotik/pfsense ang pwede dun sa requirement ko sir?
    at kaya ba lahat ng requirement ko sa isand device lang(captive portatl+user database)?

    TIA

  • you can buy mikrotik haplite, cheapest miktotik router. it doesnt have wifi and have 3 Ethernet ports that can be configured as 2 WAN and 1 LAN or 1 WAN and 2 LAN or 1 WAN 1 LAN for unrestricted network and 1 LAN for Captive Portal.

    for pfsense, preety much any x86 based computer can do this, all you have to do is install pfsense and install the captive portal package, once done you can randomly generate a coupon code if you wan it for business type like thing you commonly see in starbucks or 7eleven, you can also assign a specific account which each of their own limits (time and bandwidth). For hardware recommendation, you can buy a Atom based desktop motherboard and install pfsense on it.

    Both of them can work independently unlike DD-WRT's captive portal.

    take note: both configuration doesnt have their own AP/WiFi. So you have to add a separate device (AP) for mikrotik haplite or buy a MIMO WiFi PCI/PCIe card for pfsense.
  • @polka

    sir, correct me if im wrong ang options ko are:
    1)mikrotik haplite + wireless access point
    2)pfsense+atom-based PC+wireless access point

    sa option 1 po ba may captive portal na feature na si mikrotik na buit-in?
    sa option 2 po kasi ang pagkakaintindi ko is may iinstall pa kong software together with pfsense.

    sa database for user data may built-in na rin po ba yung both options, or need ko pa ng RADIUS server? siguro mga 20-50 users ang tinitingnan ko.

    maraming salamat sir. sa dami kasi ng nakikita ko sa google. naligaw lalo ung direction na titingnan ko.
  • option 1 built-in na yan. please take note that all user database is stored on very limited flash storage, probably around 400kb of storage along with your Captive Portal design.

    option 2 yes you need to install it, no worries though since its just a 1 click install thing, you dont need to do something difficult about it. All you need is a internet connection and let pfsense download and install the package.

    for database, its all stored on the same machine, no need for web server or radius server, all of those things were handled by pfsense/mikrotik.

    for mikrotik, meron silang mga router na meron wireless AP. but those will be around 3-4k price range na. haplit kasi nasa around 1.6k - 1.8k lang yan brand new.

    for a business type thing, I recommend a separate AP, so hindi mo kailangan i expose yung router mismo and very flexible kung saan mo gusto ilagay yung AP mo.
  • @polka,

    i was kind of leaning to option 1 kaso ang problem ko is ung 400kb na storage.
    for option 2 naman ang concern ko is ung setup, if PC based siya, i will need at least 2 LAN port right (one for WAN, one for LAN)?
    what if I want to use two LAN ports and one WAN, LAN1 for wired connection connected to switch/hub and the other LAN connected sa AP,possible po ba?

    TIA.

  • hi, my wrt54g v5 got bricked. sino po pwede makatulong sa pag repair? thanks :)
  • just installed dd wrt on my archer 7

    any tips on what to do para sa baguhang tulad ko

    thanks
  • Hello hihingi sana ko ng tips. Nagpakabit kase ako ng home fibr 20mbps kahapon and nag ffluctuate ung latency ko in games pag nag sabay sabay yung youtube at facebook ng family ko. Nakakita ko tips about sa QoS kaso wala pala QoS tong prinovide na router ng PLDT so pumunta ko dito sa DD-WRT, questions ko lang po:

    1. Wala ako idea sa router models. Anong microtik router dapat ko kunin para sa dalawang PC(wired), at around 8 na mobile devices(wireless)?
    2. Recommended ba na ipa-config na sa magbebenta ng router beforehand? Worth it ba ung malaking patong nila sa config? And mahirap ba sya iconfig on my own? May knowledge naman ako when it comes to computers kase IT student kaso wala pa ko knowledge gano sa networking

    Maraming salamat po. In hopes na mamanage ko rin ng maayos ung bandwidth dito sa bahay.

  • sana maging active ulit dito yung mga marunong mag dd wrt para naman maka learn kaming mga noobs
  • up for this thread
  • hello po masters.. ask ko lang po if any of you succeeded installing firmware for wrt1900ac.. medyo weird kasi sya pagka sa 2.4ghz na main nag reboot sya pero sa guest at 5ghz di naman
  • ^^

    Naka WRT1900ACS ako using 8/29/2017 build, so far stable naman i have VPN applet installed sa router din, and it can withstand with the traffic load especially sabay2 na streaming.

    Try upgrading bro to a higher build.
  • @joseph0829 pwede magpaturo (free sana pero ok lang rin kung may fee) ng configuration? nakapagflash ako ng firmware pero wala akong internet. PLDT Fibr GPON ONU ang modem.
  • ask ko po sa mga meron ng cd rkingWR-NET-005-CC(WRT-988) kung na update nyo po ba ang firmware nito sa dd wrt kung na up date po ninyo pahingi naman ng link ito po ang link ng router sa cdrking http://www.cdrking.com/?mod=products&type=view&sid=7629&main=50
  • yohooo anyone still here ?
  • ask ko po sa mga meron ng cd rkingWR-NET-005-CC(WRT-988) kung na update nyo po ba ang firmware nito sa dd wrt kung na up date po ninyo pahingi naman ng link ito po ang link ng router sa cdrking http://www.cdrking.com/?mod=products&type=view&sid=7629&main=50


    ano nakalagay sa router model sa DDWRT page?
  • dd-wrt ba ang linksys ea7500?
  • ^^ hindi siya compatible bro. check mo dito supported routers:

    <click here for link>
  • Post deleted #12122868
  • Mga pre. Sino sa inyo may alam kung ano dd-wrt compatible router na meron sa laza*a? thanks
  • Up natin thread. Using dd-wrt on 4 routers.

    EA8500 , Archer C9 and 2x WR841NDv9
  • Matagal na ang DD-WRT pero ngayon ko lang natuklasan na fully customizable pala siya. Nabuhay yung lumang router ko! =)

    Anong mga settings na pwede makatulong sa performance na maibabahagi niyo?
  • ^forget DD-WRT, go with openwrt

    packages install on my linksys ea4500 are.

    usb extroot- ea4500 only have 128mb flash, extend ea4500 flash to 32gb using external usb thumbdrive, it expand your root filesystem, to install freely all the packages you need. musics, videos, photos, your personal files as well.

    samba4 - windows file sharing, you can share files in your network (from your external usb storage attached to your openwrt device), create network drive in windows for easy access. you can assign password in openwrt network drive setting for security.

    minidlna - serves media files (music, pictures, and video) to clients on a network. share your music, pictures, video files across the network.

    aria2 - cli download utility.

    transmission - torrent client

    openvpn - openwrt openvpn can do multiple vpn connection, split tunneling (can route your internet connection outside of your vpn tunnel), you can also do firewall policy for vpn killswitch. it can route vpn connections to vlans. if you have 4 vpn connections, and your router have 4 ports, you can route vpn1 to port1, vpn2 to port2, vpn3 to port3, vpn4 to port4, you can also route vpn to wireless access points…. nice

    Wireguard - vpn tunnel faster than openvpn protocol. Ito gamit ko ngayon, swabe... double the speed compared to openvpn, using same peer ip. you can also do multiple wireguard connection in openwrt.

    dot with unbound - Encrypt your DNS traffic improving security and privacy.

    adguard - network-wide advertising and trackers blocking DNS server.

    sqm - solves the problem of Bufferbloat.

    netdata - network, performance realtime monitoring.

    vlan - openwrt can do vlan in every ports, vlan for your guest wireless access points as well. you can create vlan in network interface setting.
