David,
- I opted for the WAX202 after seeing this discussion: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/wax202-30-at-us-staples/138622/31 - regarding the other models, I don't see any other WAX models supported in the OpenWrt Table of hardware - https://openwrt.org/toh/start
- To my understanding, the Netgear firmware only produces an Access Point, as I need a router, C++ libraries to run ampr-ripd, snmp, NetFlow, firewall, etc., I've switched to OpenWrt already. I rarely run OEM firmware.
- While MAC filtering is not suggested as a security feature, yes - OpenWrt does support it. I'm not aware of any limits. See the macfilter WiFi config here: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/basic#common_options1
I am considering WiFi 6E; but I currently have no devices possessing a 6 GHz chip. This will definitely be a consideration for my next device purchase
Also, I found another sale at Office Depot: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/3002477/Netgear-Desktop-Wireless-Acc…

I'm finally getting my 44net router going. I've got an ipip tunnel going. I havent done any ping tests through it yet as I need to run another network cable. But I'm trying to figure out how to get the routing table loaded. I must be blind or to tired to find the instructions. Can someone point me in the right direction? After that I just need to get an ampr domain set.
Thanks

Alrighty everyone.
So I know my gateway is happy being part of the AmprNet, ( My tunl0 interface is working) because I get the correct IP address of my 1 and only host (for now) on my local AmprNet network when using Rob’s http://44.60.44.10/whatismyip/
Woo Hoo. The biggest part of this is done.
But my only problem now is…
I can resolve, ping, and get ping responses using hostnames such as Bob’s linux.ve3mch.ampr.org and every other hostname’s he has, on my Gateway machines terminal but NOT from the 1 and only host(for now). BUT!! I can
ping their IP addresses.
I know this is a DNS issue but what DNS entry should I be using on my AmprNet host to resolve domain names to their IP addresses on the AmprNet? Should I be running my own? Not really sure where to attack this issue.
After this, I believe I’ll be ready to pitch my services to the MESH network guys here in the Valley to see what interest I can spun up in joining at least a couple of nodes for now onto the AmprNet itself. Also ill work on returning my
packet node to service after a few years and have it available on the AmprNet.
Thanks all. I have faith in this. LOL

Update - it turned out the problem with my access to the portal was just a web browser issue. I changed web browsers and was able to log in.
Here is what is in the portal for my gateway. Both subnets are listed, but indeed only the first one is in the encap.txt file.
[cid:ii_l97dnxsc0]
Evidently the subnet that is not in encap.txt is being advertised via RIP44 because various people are able to communicate with my IP's in 44.92.0.64/28<http://44.92.0.64/28>.

Harold,
Nothing has been down on my end. I think most people use ampr-ripd these days to get the routes, so not being in the encap.txt file would not affect them. I have 8 or 9 AXIP links between my packet node and others over amprnet, and all of them are up and have been for weeks. It does look like my password expired on the portal, so I need to address that. I would think if I didn't log in to the portal often enough, and they wanted to suspend my allocation, then the routes for my allocation would disappear from the ampr-ripd broadcast AND the encap.txt file. I seem to recall when I first started playing with amprnet that there were routes missing in encap.txt.
Thanks,

Hey Lee
I was going to try to ping you again and see that your route (subnet) is not in the encap.txt file.
Im assuming when this happens, your system is down?

Hello Harold,
Sorry I was insanely busy yesterday at work. Today I am not able to ping any of the 3, but maybe you have made some changes. I did try pinging some other amprnet addresses and still could.

Hello Harold,
Feel free to try 44.92.0.65 & 44.92.9.66. Also if you traceroute to .65 it should go through .65.

Apologies to 44NET, the previous message from me was a mistake... don't know
how the 44NET address got added to it, but it was never intended for
44NET... sorry...
Jay...
This is from Bob Simmons, ( WB6EYV ) I used to live in SB. ( now in Santa
Maria, retired )
You might recall me, I've been an Impulse customer for decades.
I have a problem, maybe you can help. or know who can help... or maybe not.
I know you are a busy fellow, you may want to hand this off to someone
else... I will understand.
Not sure if I am asking for something difficult, or even impossible... but
here goes.
+++++++++++++
I was told recently my ( personal ) IMPULSE website service will be
discontinued end of October, and I must relocate my website elsewhere.
My email was already relocated ( by your people ) to HIIWAY in Alabama, so
I decided they would also be the new host for my website.
++++++++++++
The problem is this : I want to preserve all the old legacy bookmarks ( if
possible ) that pointed to my website at the original SILICON BEACH address
:
www.silcom.com/~pelican2
There must be thousands of those bookmarks out there, my website hasn't
moved in over 20 years.
I created it in a personal website space ( not a business space ) because
originally I just wanted to learn how to make websites, and that space was
"free" with my internet service.
I used it to learn how to make ( simple ) websites, and also to show off my
technical skills by describing a Doppler DF I had created.
It morphed eventually into a business site, ( with modest success ) but that
was not my original intention, and I never bothered to move it.
I don't make much $ from it these days but lots of people still find me with
it, and I sometimes get work opportunities from it.
++++++++++++++
If I move my website to the HIIWAY servers, all those bookmarks will "go
dead", and 20 years of internet "profile" will be lost.
I spoke with HIIWAY people, they don't own the SILCOM.COM domain so there
isn't much they can do.
I was hoping you folks might be able to create a REDIRECT from the original
website address in your domain to the new HIIWAY address.
I don't know the HIIWAY address yet. I haven't moved the website yet. I
wanted first to discover if this request is even possible.
I suspect it is highly unorthodox, you might decline to even attempt it.
If that is true, I'll try to figure something else out, or just "bite the
bullet" and kiss the legacy bookmarks "good bye".
Either way, the sooner I can discover if it is possible / practical, the
sooner I can get back to the work of moving the website.
++++++++++++++
I hope you get this and respond in a timely manner, I only have maybe 2
weeks left.
That should be plenty of time to move it, but I've never moved a website
before, I expect unknown problems in the transition. so I might need the
spare time for troubleshooting.
Anyway, thanks again for all your help over the years. it was priceless.
Hope things are well there.
( Email is probably best way to respond, I usually ignore cell calls from
unknown numbers )

I ran the speed test from work via our 10G ESNet connection, below is the results link. The latency is pretty high because of the distance, also our proxy most likely had an impact too.

All,
I have migrated my node from an x86_64 machine to a Netgear WAX202. It now runs on solar/battery for indefinite power. The device is OpenWrt-compatible and available for US$29.99 from Staples. On a 1 Gbps connection, I am receiving about 910 Mbps; so for the electricity savings, I'm happy with its performance.
If you have a 1 Gbps connection or less to your ISP, this may work for you as a good home/AMPR router.

Thanks.I understood tests were from AMPR. My apologies if you were seeking publicly-reachable IPs.Only 44.60.44.10 is avaliable from the Public Internet. Yes, you will see the landing folder as the home page (this by design and is to keep bandwidth low). Simply browse to the /homepage folder if you wish.Recall if you test from your AMPR gateway's public IP - I allow you to reach some AMPRNet hosts as well - you should not use this as an indicator of general Public Internet access.- KB3VWG
