After arriving in Shenzhen, the China Telecom broadband here does not provide public IPv4 (it can be obtained for an additional fee of 100 yuan per month, which I am reluctant to pay), so my previous “home” solution—Surge Ponte over IPv4 Port forwarding is no longer usable. I can only use DMZ + Surge Ponte … Read more
[Image] The term Mesh is likely familiar to many. In simple terms, Mesh is a wireless networking technology characterized by “multi-node interconnection.” The key difference from traditional single-router or even single-repeater setups is that all nodes do not operate in a “master-slave” relationship; instead, they form a “mesh” structure. In this structure, every Mesh node … Read more
2025/09/019 Friday, Lunar Calendar July 18 First Edition DAILY NEWS DAILY NEWS Setting the router to AP mode allows the main router (upstream router) to provide IP address allocation and DHCP functionality, which can reduce network latency and improve LAN NAT forwarding performance (removing one NAT reduces bandwidth resource loss). Below are several methods to … Read more
Mesh networking has become a popular method for home WiFi networking in recent years. Compared to wireless bridging, it offers more reliable stability for connecting two or more devices. However, various issues often arise during actual use. Home routers have compiled six common networking issues to address the situations encountered in mesh networking. Mesh router … Read more

Changing the Default Mirror Source of the Router and Preparation Work Connect to the router using SSH, by default … Read more
🧐 The sudden disconnection of WiFi showing as disabled may not only be an issue with the optical modem but could also stem from the router, with various possible causes. 👉 I have compiled the reasons for WiFi displaying as disabled and the corresponding solutions. If you encounter the same issue, feel free to take … Read more
In the previous issue, we discussed the tutorial on setting up PPPoE dialing in OpenWRT. In bridge mode with the optical modem, if PPPoE dialing is not configured, OpenWRT cannot access the internet properly. Tutorial on setting up PPPoE dialing in OpenWRT However, many newly installed broadband connections are set to router mode by the … Read more
What to do if some functions of the router networking are not working? In fact, after using the router for networking, various functions in the network may fail to work. This is mostly due to configuration issues with the router. Let’s take the Huawei router as an example to look at the solutions. Networking Environment … Read more
The benefits of IPv6 include: More IP Addresses: IPv6 provides nearly unlimited IP addresses to meet foreseeable future demands. Simplified Network Configuration: IPv6 supports Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), allowing devices to automatically obtain IP addresses without a DHCP server, simplifying network configuration. Higher Routing Efficiency: The header structure of IPv6 is simpler than that of … Read more
Introduction In OpenWRT development, we may encounter the requirement to convert some network devices from wireless to wired. We can achieve this by adding a network port driver inside the device. Here, we introduce a simple and straightforward method: remove the DHCP function from LAN, and bridge WiFi and LAN to realize the wireless to … Read more
