Good news- I’m running the “Stable 4.0.0” and was able to load the kmod-usb-net-rtl8152 okpg today and can now see one of the combo USB3 Net/Hub adaptors I have (specifically this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J6583NK). I also now have my Netgear hotspot plugged into one of the ports on the same hub, and can now switch between Ethernet and Tethering(HS) via the WebUI.

So, a couple of requests for the GL-iNet team (@alzhao et al.):

  • Could we get the kmod-usb-net-rtl8152 opkg built into the router?
  • Could we just get a way to switch off Ethernet from the UI, even if it’s connected (so we don’t have to resort to such hacks in the first place? :slight_smile: )

I’m going to test USB-interface thruput later, but as 99% of the time I’m on the road I’m limited to 100MBit thruput or less (even if I stumble upon GbE link speed), I’m not too worried about it with the processor in the AX.
