Hi there,
My GL-Inet AR750S Slate arrived and I started playing with it. Overall I’m very satisfied.
However, I noticed a few points that require guidance/clarification.
1 - The stock web configuration interface is well polished and looks astonishing both in the browser and mobile. However, it seems not to follow the LuCi standard. I understand that is an ongoing work and therefore not all features are available yet (such as, support for different types of VPN other than openvpn) but what worries me is that there seems to have different configuration files, which are not recognized by LuCi once installed the luci-openvpn module.
2 - lack of API usage. I learn that most features in lucy are configured with “uci tool” which allow for creating a number of different interfaces while keeping the consistency of configuration standard across them. the javascript that configures OpenVPN for the new interface doesn’t seem to be using it.
3 - lack of backup. It would be nice to have a way to backup configurations in case of firmware reinstall.
4 - development guide. If you guys would like to build a community, it would be nice to provide some initial guides for development. The information I’ve found is scattered in many places and doesn’t seem to be specific to slate. A proper forum room and a slack channel can help. Please favor commenting the code in English. I’m not native myself but is harder for me to read the comments in Chinese.
5 - channel to post feature requests. There are a ton of things I would like slate to have and I’m willing to contribute. For instance, It would be nice to have VPN for one of the wireless networks, and when active make the let blink in a different color… things like that. right now this forum seems to be very cluttered and is hard to find useful information.
Thanks for the great piece of hardware guys. Loving it so far.
