Script: GL.iNet Utils for GL.iNet routers

[phantasm22]

Building on the successful OpenSpeedTest script, I present a new utilities script for GL.iNet routers.

Features

• Deep Hardware Insights – Total visibility into your CPU, RAM, and storage. Includes paged navigation for network interfaces and wireless radio details (Link speeds, MIMO, Channel bandwidth).

• VPN Crypto Audit – Instantly verify if your hardware acceleration (AES-CE, NEON) is active at the kernel level for optimized OpenVPN and WireGuard performance.

• AdGuardHome Control Center – A central hub to toggle the service, manage/enable UI updates, and bulk manage a pre-set list of blocklists and allowlists. Manage persisting AdGuardHome updates through firmware updates.

• Fail-Safe Recovery – "Industrial" self-healing logic. If your AGH binary or init scripts are corrupted, the script pulls pristine copies directly from the device's /rom to restore functionality.

• Surgical Backups for AdGuardHome – Precision-tracked AdGuardHome backups. Create, manage, and restore configurations, binaries, and init scripts with automated timestamping and integrity checks.

• Zram Swap Management – Essential for lower-RAM travel routers like the Beryl 7. Easily install and tune compressed RAM swap to prevent out-of-memory crashes.

• Performance Benchmarks – Real-world testing including stressing CPU cycles, OpenSSL throughput, raw Disk and Memory I/O speeds, and DNS throughput compared to a Beryl 7 baseline.

• Secure UCI Viewer – Quick, read-only access to your system config. Audit SSIDs, Wi-Fi keys, VPN tunnels, and GoodCloud settings without digging through the CLI.

• OpenSpeedTest Integration - Automated download and deployment of the OpenSpeedTest server script for optimized local network speed diagnostics.

• Native Self-Updater – Stay current with zero effort. The script checks GitHub on launch and can perform an in-place update.

• GPL-3.0 Licensed – Free, open, and community-driven.

Tested on various GL.iNet models (Beryl, Beryl AX, Beryl 7, Slate 7, Flint 3, Flint 3e, etc.) running recent firmware.

Installation

1. SSH into your GL.iNet router:

ssh [email protected]

2. Download the script:

wget -O glinet_utils.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phantasm22/GL-iNet_utils/main/glinet_utils.sh && chmod +x glinet_utils.sh

3. Run the script:

./glinet_utils.sh

Thank you for your contribution and for sharing!

That is awesome, I think this integrated script is very helpful for troubleshooting some issues.

Thanks a lot for the script.

On Flint2 4.8.3-op24 I get this error:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ CPU Thermal Stress Test │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

stress not found, installing...
Failed to install stress

Press any key to continue...

Changed the script to stress-ng and it works. Maybe you can add a check and install stress-ng if needed

[phantasm22]

Thanks for the feedback. On gl firmware releases, there seems to be a bug with dependencies installing stress-ng that can cause the router to crash. I’ve added stress-ng as a backup in case stress package has been removed from the packages list. It’s good to know that stress-ng works on your setup. Please let me know if you find any other bugs.

Working great now

I tweaked the UI for the benchmarks bringing some common UI elements across the benchmarks. Also added a new feature to install the Ookla Speedtest binary. Check it out.

Looking great Thanks!

Why would you need to stress test the cpu so much?

Mine stays at 50C at idle​
