Great thanks, very helpful to know (if slightly annoying that it’s a tiny fraction above what I’d hoped), would probably get away with it though I’d expect if only briefly above 500ma, especially if using a less CPU intensive workload eg basic unencrypted L2TP rather than OpenVPN/Wireguard which works the CPU a bit…
What I could really do with is a decent guide for using L2TP on one of these, there’s a guide on OpenWRT pages it seems but definitely not written in an easy to follow way and quite a few steps to go through. DD-WRT looks a lot easier to do through the GUI but would seem the only product supported is GL-AR150 which is rather slow and just two wired ports, might be OK with basic unencrypted L2TP. Might end up forced in this direction which is crazy, this should be simple…
As I mentioned on the other L2TP thread sadly my current VPN providers don’t have any test implementations of Wireguard running and not looking to sign up with yet another VPN provider, need to get this working with the ones I already have, L2TP works perfectly over that very cheap tp-link router I had but that’s not very portable and needs another plug, fine at home but not for travel
EDIT: Actually, looking under the DD-WRT release notes for 18.06.0 there’s mention of fixes relating to three GL.iNet products: GL-AR750, GL-AR300M and GL-AR150
Is DD-WRT actually working ok on GL-AR750 / GL-AR300M and just the documentation not updated to show now works with them?
Is anyone using or has tried DD-WRT with GL-AR750 or GL-AR300M? Would be great if I could load on my GL-AR300M for testing then maybe risk buying a GL-AR750 or play safe with another GL-AR300M if all goes well
