I believe that the Pi 4 should be more powerful in term of routing and firewall. If you already have a spare RPI lying around, it is good choice to set it up as a router. However, if one need to setup a new network, I will suggest him to buy this WRT1900AC (to save money on an AP, 5 ports switch and a good case for PRI 4).
Had to change my router´s firmware since it looses the Internet several times per week. Hope with this new OpenWRT version my service won´t be unstable anymore. IPS is not the problem since their router is always working fine. Problem is with the Linksys WRT1900AC. Thanks!! I
I have 270-350Mb speed on 3 differnt modem. I do load balance in raspi 4b When i used mi4a,ea7500 all opewrt and ea6300 freshtomato, all i got just 200 and 220Mb max I use original firmware, that result is same. What's wrong with it?
Did you notice a issue that traffic just will not forwarded and you need to reconnect to the system? It’s really mad, it’s not WiFi or DNS … it’s really Strang you can’t even ping anything
so how does this router compare to modern day routers? I bought this router many years ago and i lost the paper password lol and the company told me that they wanted to charge me 100$ for a new PASSWORD TO ACCESS MY ACCOUNT..anyhow it has just been sitting on my shelf all these years,,i was not to happy with support from this company,.
Hi, did you solve the problem. If not, please share more info about the problem you are facing during the configuration. I found a tutorial here, not sure if it help openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/ipv6_ipv4_transitioning
@@VanTechCorner Thanks for your reply, I am already familiar with this tutorial. In fact, it is the only info about OpenWrt and DS-Lite which is not enough. The problem is that after installing the “ds-lite” package, OpenWrt always asks for AFTR address within the DS-Lite device. It’s like assuming that this device is always B4, and the AFTR is residing somewhere in your ISP. I want to build the whole testbed ( client >> > B4 >>> AFTR >>> IPv4 host ) Note: AFTR & B4 are just router names defined in RFC-6333
Yup, I am still experiencing the features of the EdgeRouter X and will make one tutorial in the future. I will also compare the performance of the stock FW with OpenWRT.
my edge router x is flashed by openwrt. Since updated the mwan3 and dual wan was missed cos the v 21.02 is a bit different from previous one regarding dual wan, vlan setup and firewall zone as well. hope mr van tech corner may help us.
@@VanTechCornerHello friend, I'm buying this router with this openwrt and I would like to know if I can create multiple SSIDs each with their own name and different passwords
Can I install OpenWRT on my Linksys 1900AC if it currently has DD-WRT? I installed DD-WRT in the past but I don’t like it. I did spend time trying to revert the router to manufacturer firmware but none of the methods work for me. Therefore I wanted to try to install OpenWRT directly onto the router which is currently on DD-WRT
Hello, my response is a bit late, but I hope it will help: - The Linksys WRT1900 series has 2 partitions (I call it by partition A & B). By default, these 2 partitions has stock firmware on it. " If booting from the primary partition, the secondary (or alternate) partition will be flashed on next sysupgrade, and booting is toggled to happen from that partition. The same logic applies to secondary-→primary. " - When installing DD-WRT, the firmware should be loaded on 1 partition only (partition A). You should be able to switch the stock partition (B) with some commands (check DD-WRT guide) - After you get back to the stock firmware (partition B), do flash the OpenWrt image via the web-ui. This time, the OpenWrt firmware will be loaded to partition A. After reboot, you should see OpenWrt up and running. From this, do follow the OpenWrt installation guide to flash the image to the other partition. openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt1900ac#dual_firmware_flashing
Hello, you can see my tutorial with Samba4 to enable the file sharing and mount the hard drive. And then see the Wireguard server VPN to enable remote access. But these is not easy, it will take you sometime to master.

Hi..i got 2 question/request 1. If already installed openwrt on the router, can it work with unifi? 2. Can you give tutorial how to install openwrt on Mercusys mr70x since it has wifi6
Hi, after installed OpenWRT on this router, you will need to configure PPPoE with VLAN in order to work (you need to know what is your PPPoE credential by checking with Unifi or check on the router). If you have no idea what is OpenWRT, please do not install it since the device may not working as expected. Currently OpenWRT doesn't support Mercusys mr70x and there is no way to install it (OpenWRT firmware is not available for all router/ap)
Please show us the Print Server Setup and use it from mobile without pc. We can do it with tplink firmwares eg. wdr 3600. Now i use openwrt. So show us a way.
Hi, please don't post the same comment on different videos as UA-cam will flag this as spam and may block you from commenting. For now, I have no printer to try this setup. You can take a look at this doc and try with CUPS openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/print_server/start

Hi, this router supports dual firmware, so make sure you install " luci-app-advanced-reboot" package and then go to System - Advanced Reboot. Here, you can select the firmware you want to reboot it.
Many thanks. Performed this function today and it worked great.
For years I was going to buy this router to put OpenWrt on but eventually I just used a spare Pi 4 I had lying around!

I followed every direction and it didn’t work. Network would show up on phone, but would have no connection.
I have 270-350Mb speed on 3 differnt modem. I do load balance in raspi 4b
When i used mi4a,ea7500 all opewrt and ea6300 freshtomato, all i got just 200 and 220Mb max
I use original firmware, that result is same.
What's wrong with it?
Did you notice a issue that traffic just will not forwarded and you need to reconnect to the system? It’s really mad, it’s not WiFi or DNS … it’s really Strang you can’t even ping anything
I know this is late but when i go to NETWORK, I don't see WIRELESS
Can you do the same on linksys wrt32x?
Hi, you can do that, but please follow the guide for wrt32xx instead of the wrt1900ac.
