Feature suggestion: for GL-X3000, would it be possible to have an option to enable NTP server and have GPS time as the master clock?

hi. i think this is possible today by doing various command line and installing luci package etc. I think it would be great, if it has an option to enable GPS and use GPS time as NTP server for local machines.

just a thought…

Hello,

This requirement may be niche, but I will collect it first to see if more users will respond to similar requests in the future.
Once enough users need it, I think it will advance implementation into the GL GUI.

Thanks!

Since the X3000 is also marketed for RV’s unlocking some to the GPS features in software wouldn’t be a bad move, there will be interest. i’m certainly interested.

If you open a COM to your X3000 and issue these commands, that should tell you if the module is able to receive GPS data correctly:

AT+QGPSPOWER=1   //
AT+QGPS=1        //Open GPS positioning
AT+QGPSLOC=0     //Get GPS position
AT+QGPS=0        //disable GNSS positioning

Antenna 3 must be connected or there will be no signal or data available. This is almost certainly not connect by default and may need hardware hacking on the device

AFAIK, antenna 3 from the internal card is indeed connected. you may want to check out [howto] GL-X3000 GPS configuration guide - #45 by asgdfgfew23 for more.

i’m hoping that they will add GPS related feature by default. Personally, i could use NTP based off of GPS clock would be a nice one.
