Speed up boot time

gykpro · 2018-07-09T13:42:47.698Z

I’m using MT300A router and use it as a portable shadowsocks hotspot. It takes about 45 to 55 seconds from power on to ready to work.

So, my question is, if I only need:

shadowsocks client with udp relay support
iPhone usb tethering
wifi client

what components can be removed to speed up?

I have tried to disable shadowsocks server/lighthttpd/uhttpd/usb storage/kmondvideo, but can’t get sooner than 45 seconds. I’m aiming for less than 20s, is that possible?

Here is my boot log:

kyson-lok · 2018-07-11T00:42:24.802Z

It will be available for testing in next week.

User_Felix · 2018-07-11T03:45:11.207Z

Is Ver 3.0 will be available for GL-B1300？

kyson-lok · 2018-07-11T04:36:44.124Z

Not yet, only for mini router.

alzhao · 2018-07-11T05:14:55.020Z

also try remove file system support, l2tp.

Anyway, the USB and wifi part takes a lot of time.

gykpro · 2018-07-19T04:13:52.311Z

Is v3 test version available?

kyson-lok · 2018-07-19T16:04:51.634Z

Not yet!!! It postponed by one week.

gykpro · 2018-07-27T06:13:52.444Z

One week later

Johnex · 2018-07-27T10:51:24.075Z

Will be 1 more week i think because OpenWRT just finalized the new release, so they have been waiting for that

gykpro · 2018-07-28T02:26:02.890Z

Totally understand.
Just saying my eagerness.

alzhao · 2018-07-28T02:26:31.701Z

We are releasing beta version for AR750S this week and AR750S will be shipped from next week. But for old products still need time.
