I'm curious about OpenWRT, and this video explain it very well. Thank you
Amazing Infomation. It took me a long time to learn some of all these (which you provided here easily) and I still found new ones here. I wish I found this earlier. It would have save me a lot of stress. Kindly do more advance stuff for us like installation of luci-app-nft-qos, Sierra Wireless MC7455, moving the menu around, like to the left hand side, blacklist/Whitelist of MACs, etc etc. Thumbs up man.
Hi, thanks for the kind words and glad it was helpful! I will try to make more videos. Regarding the Sierra Wireless MC7455, there is a tutorial. Do you have any problem with the configuration? forum.sierrawireless.com/t/help-with-mc7455-in-openwrt-router/8919/2
@@VanTechCorner Yeah. I want to install it on OpenWrt. But I will check the link. Thanks.
Really well done in creating your on-going OpenWRT video's!
As my router is slowly dying, I am dusting off an old PC and getting hold of a 2nd NIC, all to have a go at creating a desktop PC as a router :)
Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for the feedback. Actually you can run OpenWRT with single network port and a switch that supports VLAN (however I still recommend 2 different NIC for WAN and LAN). There are also other OpenWRT tutorials on the channel including OpenWRT on x86, give it a shot if you need any video guide on the installation process.
@@VanTechCorner cool, does the latest x86/pi4 have [the newish] r8125 2.5Gbit/s usb3 add in modules so as to beef up the lan side speeds at least ?
-there's also a usb3 5Gbit/s driver too, although i forget its chip name [not the hardware broken intel 2.5/5.0 ones] perhaps these are compiled openWRT hardware offload modules TOO-
The explanation was very clear and easy to follow.

Amazing.. thank you for useful video.
You are most welcome!
This is an excellent tutorial. I am attempting to connect "again" my BTHomeHub5, running OpenWRT 21.0.2, to my VDSL IP (Plusnet - UK), using the vdsl input into the modem/router coming from the exchange. I had managed to do it a couple of days ago, but it s quite fiddly at connecting to the net (I can sync with the exchange, but, despite following these instructions, I need to create a new dsl0.101 interface - needed by Plusnet, and I am not clear of what else it is needed in the OpenWRT settings).
Hello and sorry for the late response. I don't have a chance to play with VDSL and I am not really sure what is the best advice. I found a guide on OpenWRT forum and people are saying it is working. Perhaps you can give it a try forum.openwrt.org/t/connecting-to-plusnet-with-openwrt/89280/18
Thank you.
hey man, thanks a lot for this. can I leave default openwrt firewall settings? are they solid enough? thanks
Thank you for this good tutorial!
I want to use the realtime graphs of OpenWRT (wireless signal, noise) for a special projekt.
Is it possible to read out realtime the data of signal and noise? If yes how to do it?.

Thanx in advance and nice video.
So creative lah 🙈
Thanks 😅 Hope it would help you!
greetings, great video, thank you, i've just finally gotten onto openwrt and noticed the latest build or release (21.02.2) has quite a few changes on its UI, i.e. setup of static IP (is that essentially the same as static routes ?), the port forwarding section, etc... also, should i enable IPv6 or not, running old generation adsl copper line at 6 Mbps (download) and 600 Kbps (upload)

Hi. Can you show how you flashed your DIR-842 with OpenWRT? Because there is just snapshot version and no official release. So getting Luci packages to install in the DIR-842 in offline mode is a hassle for people with only 1 router. Thanks.
Hi, I have more then 1 router and the process is very simple. However, if you are having only 1 router you can use SSH to set it up:
- Setup your WAN interface (DHCP, PPPoE) by editing /etc/config/network or using uci commands
- Setup your OpenWRT as AP client
- Once there is a working internet connection, run opkg update & opkg install luci and that is.
Hi, could You just tell me if this is possible to change transmit power above standard for example like in mikrotik router boards?? I have tp-link archer c7 and I'm thinking about put oper firmware mainly for this reason
Hi, yes you can. For example, I am able to set the transmit power to 23 dbm with the DR900VX. th-cam.com/video/lgvXPLYaL7c/w-d-xo.html
Que buen tutorial! muchas gracias,
Question; why did you install it on a very simple and light router such as the TL-WR841N? The OpenWRT page says this router is no longer supported as of 2091 due to its very low hardware specifications.
Can I still install OpenWRT on a router such as the TL-WR841N?
Hi, this is the most simple/ cheap device to start with and if something goes wrong, you can find a replacement easily. Even the router is no longer supported (no new updates), the old versions are working fine.

Hi your video is good but 1 my hub is ADSL 2 what username and password is this one that you get on the hub provided by your ISP ?
My router doesn't get assigned IP ad from ISP on WAN. But if i connect cable directly to computer i get IP and internet as a result, do you know where i should look to get ip assigned ?. I can see TX status sent pockets out, but Rx 0 pockets in.
Hi, can you tell me more about your network setup (how devices are connected) or the internet plan and provider you are using, perhaps I can do something about it. "if i connect cable directly to computer i get IP" => do you mean the PC is directly connected to the optical network terminal or something different?
@@VanTechCorner ISP=>Modem=>Router=> NO IP Assigned (i112.fastpic.ru/big/2020/0825/46/ed32db81402e7eff2747364c6452d246.png), but if ISP=>Modem=>PC i get internet.
Are you sure that your PC is connected to the modem or it is a GPON router. Maybe you can do ipconfig/all in your computer to get the IP and gateway information, and setup these info in your Openwrt WAN interface.
Hello sir, can i set up multiple vpn that connect simultaneously in openwrt router ?

Greetings,
is there any way to update openwrt firmware.
without losing the installed apps.
Thank you
Hi, you can upgrade the firmware using LuCI and tick the box "Keep the configration value", it will keep you your configurations but the apps will be deteled for sure.
I need you help about the topic: Port forwarding and Static IP on OpenWRT. On the new version of the OpenWRT (19.07.4) for Static IP Adress, have a option with name: DUID. What would it be? Do I need to add anything to it?
Thanks for this video.
Hey, for the static IP with DHCP, you just need the IP and MAC address, other fields can be left blank.
@@VanTechCorner Understood. Thanks, Van.
You're welcome. Check out my other OpenWRT tutorials on my channel and thanks for supporting!
I learned a lot from this tutorial but I am looking for a specific feature does openwrt have MESH wifi and do you have a tutorial?
Hi, thanks for the comment. There are other OpenWRT tutorials, let's check it out. OpenWRT supports 802.11r (Fast-Roaming) and you can install wpad to configure that.
hi. can you do a tutorial for openwrt that can run telephone network,running in local network..,
Hi big!!! Thank you for this fantastic guide. But can I ask you a thing? On WAN interface I've put PPoE and it doesn't work...instead with DHCP it works.. can I ask why?
As second question .. I would like to know why we put PPoE on the router too if we have already set it on modem.
Thank you so much...i have fttc fiber
Pls ;(
Hi, I am not really understand your question, please provide more info about your actual network setup and the devices you are using, if you want to discuss more about it here. You need to find out which protocol is used by your network provider and then configure the same on OpenWRT. For example, the ISP provided a router and deploying the internet using PPPoE. Now, if you want to replace their router with a new one running OpenWRT, you need to setup your WAN interface as PPPoE Client. Most of the network providers are using a GPON router + PPPoE where the device is connected to the fiber cable and act as a optical network terminal, as the same time running PPPoE to establish the internet connection. This is just the first video in my OpenWRT tutorial playlist, to know more you go to the channel homepage and have a check.
@@VanTechCorner hi, thank you for your interest. I have a modem (FTTC) and a router Liksys with openWRT installed.
so I have two different nets. (192.168.0.0 where the modem is 192.168.0.1 and second net 192.168.1.0 where openwrt router is 192.168.1.1). on my modem I've already set my PPPoE configuration. the problem is that whether I connect with dhcp to my modem is ok, if I try to use PPPoE directly to ISP the connection goes DOWN. I don't understand...it's like a double PPPoe... :( I hope it is enough. thank you. have a nice day
I see, so you got my answer above. In this case it is not just the modem, I assume it is a GPON router which convert the optical signal to electronic signal, and then running PPPoE to establish the internet connection. Of course you can't simply replace the ISP router since they only accept their own device (by checking the MAC, the SLID and maybe serial number when it is trying establish the PPPoE connection). You can contact your ISP if you want to do so.
27:50 Do you know if a Pi 4 can be an AP and a Wifi client at the same time?
Also I noticed that to make a Pi 4 an AP over 2.4GHz I had to set the Mode to "Legacy".
Hey, let's me test and get back to you. Which OpenWRT version you are running on the Pi?
@@VanTechCorner Brilliant, thank you! I'm using the snapshot image: openwrt-bcm27xx-bcm2711-rpi-4-ext4-factory.img.gz on a Pi 4 which I downloaded a few days ago.. around Nov 28th. I also posted a question on the OpenWrt forum here: tinyurl.com/yymenh29 So far I could only get the Pi 4 to be a Wifi Access Point OR a Client, not both at the same time. I'm interested to know if you can get that working. Cheers.
@@VanTechCorner I guess you didn't get a chance to try this out? A mod on the OpenWrt forum says it is not possible on a Pi 4. preview.tinyurl.com/yyg2dlpa

At 16:33 Is the PAP/CHAP username and password just the password of the modem/router provided by my ISP ?
It is the PAP/CHAP password that was provided by your ISP. Usually you can see it on the contract, or login to the current router and check the "PPPoE connection" setting.
