GL-AR300M trunk image?

facepointwifi · 2016-07-14T21:24:58.000Z

Hi guys,

I have received my new GL-AR300M unit but I need OpenWRT DD trunk.

Is the https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-gl-ar300-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin valid image for the new GL-Ar300M units ? If not when will one be available.

Also update on external and PoE versions availability would be useful.

kind regards

Peter

I don’t have any answers to your questions, since I am currently looking at this product on Amazon, but could you please tell me a few things about it, specifically:

How good is the WiFi range, and does it have lots of dropped packets like some reviews of the MT300A seem to suggest?
Does the pre-installed firmware include SQM (fq_codel), since that’s the main reason I need a OpenWrt router?

I’ve heard that the pre-installed firmware is Barrier Breaker and I’m seeing conflicting info about whether it has SQM, or if Chaos Calmer SQM is better.

@facepointwifi

No. Don’t use AR300 firmware. It will not work with AR300M.

We will have external antenna version later but there will not be PoE version.

@a7201,

The pre-installed firmware don’t have SQM, but you can just install using opkg, opkg install sqm-scripts luci-app-sqm

All the stock firmware is CC1505
