lather. rinse. repeat.

I seem to be carving out a nice little niche of repairing still-useful devices. Most recently, a friend said they wanted to turn a lower end router into a fileserver- which makes sense, really. Long gone are the necessities of hot and power hungry hardware to stream, save, and share.

I’ve got a WN...

Every time Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London” is on the radio (which is surprisingly at least weekly-when I have the radio on) I find myself remembering a question posed to me “What does a tailor have to do with ripping someone’s lungs out?”

It always just made sense to me that a tailor- who ta...

The Domino Team (GL-Inet) LEDE 17.01.1 release.

I’ve been a big fan of GL-Inet’s skinning and additions to OpenWRT, and after asking them a bit over a month ago about their progress with LEDE, well- here it is.

It’s been a spell between 17.01.1, and support for the ZBT WE1326. I’m hoping that...

This is not the saltwater that crabrouter was looking for!

Why is it “crabrouter”? It is not very happy taking non-Ralink SDK built kernels, among other, more obvious reasons. Sadly, the 2.4Ghz spectrum on this is still fairly unreliable when using the mt76 open source driver. It was sitting...

I’m back to working on my WG3526-similar device, as it’s too cold to work on the cars, and the last HP 4100 was (re)built before lunch. It’s nice to have a functional panel on it.

I’ve found someone else who received a device which was based on the ZBT WE1326, and has a slightly different design t...
