I posted recently about wanting to install OpenWrt.
I just wanted to thank everybody who gave advice and encouragement. It was very quick and easy to setup.
I had some very small issues:
- I had to reboot my internet modem to get internet working. Duh.
- I initially didn’t put my country code for wifi, even though the docs say this is important. My bad.
- I initially set my wifi to WPA3, but I had to switch to WPA2 for my Roku. My bad for owning a Roku.
So far I’ve installed adblock and wireguard extensions, although I haven’t enabled the wireguard yet.
What other extensions do people recommend?
Thanks again!


Set up aqm or whatever it’s called on openwrt.
It makes a huge difference.
SQM? https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm
Thanks, that sounds like the exact problem that I’ve been having with my openwrt setup
Yes! I been in the Broadcom world so freshtomato calls it aqm.
