Has anyone installed the new Ord Speedtest app/system on their router yet? This would be great for travelling I think, to get a better understanding of your connection etc.
They show a way to install it via SSH onto OpenWRT devices, I have a Slate AX, but have not looked into doing it yet, so hoping some other brave souls have tried and have some feedback or tips.
I have tried this APP/plugin, it actually installed a plugin for the router, allowing the plugin to collect information and count data in the router, and send them to the phone APP which in the same LAN.
I think the APP interface is pretty good, and the data presentation is intuitive.
Cool, did you install it using the command line or ?
How did you install the plugin into the router? Just looked on my Slate but I don't see Orb in the Plugins section, so maybe only for some routers? Or is it called something else?
Command line through ssh
It's best to use ssh, because a script has to be installed and the script install a repository 
OK, so trying this out.
Following the SSH docs for Gl.inet here: SSH log in to the Router - GL.iNet Router Docs 4
I was able to login from my Mac using: ssh [email protected] and my router password fine.
Running the command from the Orb docs: wget -qO- https://pkgs.orb.net/install.sh | sh it seems to update the packages ok, but not install orb.
+ opkg install orb
Unknown package 'orb'.
Collected errors:
* pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency micrond for orb
* pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for orb found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package orb.
So maybe doesn't work on Slate AX?
Added a post to the Orb Reddit asking for support: https://www.reddit.com/r/orbforge/comments/1l70yr6/support_for_glinet_slate_ax_router_aarch64/
More than likely the op version on your router it's op21 "outdated" and it's missing a lot of dependency's
I'm running the latest firmware 4.7.0 - not sure what op version is or what to do about that 
Hopping on Orb's Discord, it seems like another Beryl user had some issues there too, different package. I posted there too to see if they have some suggestions.
Do you run the opkg update before attempting the installation?
No, is that a firmware update?
From the Orb Discord:
Our orb package depends on micrond, which is available in the default openwrt distribution, but it seems it might not be available in the glinet distribution.
We only use micrond to support the optional autoupdate feature.You're not the first that has had issues with this dependency so I'm thinking about just removing the requirement.
i'm looking to do an update in the next hour or so, and I expect I'll remove the dependency if my testing goes well
I'll try to bring back autoupdate some other way. ideally the script will be able to detect
They just pushed Orb 1.0.7 that makes the autoupdate package optional for now, so installs work on the Slate AX (And I suspect other Gl.iNet devices too).
I was able to just run the default command from the orb docs for the install to work now. If you select Yes for AutoUpdate, then that part of the install will fail, but the main part still works. So after installing it, use the link provided in the output to link your Router to your Orb account, or open your Orb app and it will find it on the network and you can add it.
Good
