Hi @lizh

Have your DWA-171 arrived? Hope it is Version C like mine.

Sorry, DWA-171 have not supported by default.

Hi @lizh @alzhao
Just bought an Alfa AWUS036ACS, plugged into Brume. Rebooted.
However, the Wireless Client menu does not appear. Running the Adguard firmware version.

How to proceed?

Slate · 2020-05-28T07:20:19.274Z

It’s ok.

Use openwrt-mv1000-emmc-3.103-0527, and it works!
Superb!!

Great work and confirm both Alfa dongles are working with no issues at all. Will this embeded WiFi support be an ongoing part of future firmwares or is it only experimental for certain firmware versions?

alzhao · 2020-07-25T05:48:59.540Z

WiFi support will be in the default firmware from now. The router can identify if it is internal WiFi or external WiFi dongle. But as the WiFi driver is installed, WiFi support will always be true.

Almahadeus · 2020-07-25T10:10:50.522Z

That is great to know. Thanks again for your excellent work.

The middle LED on Brume was programmed for VPN activity, however after adding the dongle this LED is out. Is there a new setting to have the LED show VPN activity with the Alfa dongle and if not will future firmware support it?

alzhao · 2020-10-22T14:44:05.489Z

You can check settings in /etc/config/system
About LED config.

It should be vpn interface for middle led.

Here is the LED configuration for the middle LED VPN activity, what parameter do I use once the Alfa dongle is installed for VPN activity? Disregard the second VPN setting in the screenshot, I was attempting to experiment with no success. Thanks for the education

You cannot configure one led for multiple purpose.

Pls delete duplicated settings and try again. The 2nd settings seems correct.

Thanks, I realise this is the chip type but are you using it from a specific manufacturer? I am asking as not all dongles are created equal!

mccob · 2021-07-02T22:05:44.133Z

thank you

Realtek is crap, don’t use Realtek and Broadcom ever. Use only devices with good support open source community

@alzhao

Can you add this ID please. It’s for the TP link T2U nano.
I purchased this thinking it would work. Wifi does not appear. I just need to create an AP and would love something small.

I notified developers to add these so that you can use in next firmware
