I posted this on the ROOter forum too, but given the single thread nature there, tutorials tend to get lost in the clutter. So, starting with this post -- I'm going to post guides here too for some additional staying power. :-)

If your network consists of a mix of different operating systems, and ...

And here's the follow-on post I did, about a month later, after moving to the x86 router box:

If you missed my original post on this amazing upgrade to your ROOter setup (assuming you have at least two decent sources of Internet available), you might want to have a look at this post first whrl.pl ...

Here's another post I did earlier this year on the ROOter forum, which is now a bit difficult to find. I did this post in late January, and I've since moved from the Raspberry Pi 4B to a Qotom x86 (i3) industrial PC with 4x gigabit Ethernet ports, 2x USB3 and 2x USB2 ports. OpenMPTCProuter needs an ...

Unfortunately 99% of non-technical users would be lost on the server setup, let alone the client/server settings

My apologies if I gave the impression that this was an "anyone can do it" sort of post. There's little documentation on OMR, and no step-by-step guides for deploying it, so for anyone ...

Would be appreciative if you could recommend a VPS/hosting company?


Hard to argue with Vultr, if you're in the U.S -- my current OMR VPS is running me $5/mo. Use whichever of their datacenters that's closest to you.

Otherwise, have a look at the list of tested platforms in the OMR ...

If it wasn't for this post I would have never known of this. I'm extremely surprised that this isn't a MUCH more popular thread honestly

Glad you found the post useful! I'm amazed too at the relatively modest interest in what OpenMPTCProuter has to offer.

I'm currently in an area with very ...

Would Netflix Prime etc block you if you had a site to site VPN setup to your primary residence 60 miles away? I've got gigabit at our primary residence and have thought about running the VPS at the main house given the ample bandwidth (although I don't have a static IP there).


I can't imagine ...

Gotcha....I see it is enabled.

So, Verizon fails the Mulipath TCP test. When I look at the realtime bandwidth usage, it is definitely being used for data...with slightly less throughput then the two ATT accounts.

Is it worth it to turn on the VPN option for the Verizon connection? If so ...

For some unknown reason (for now), tracebox report Multipath disabled for some ISP that are in fact correctly aggregated. When multipath is really blocked, the connection is not used at all and you have only bandwidth used by ICMP ping test visible in bandwidth graph.


That explains the mystery ...

I received my RBM33G's and flashed one of them. Installed m.2 to PCIe adapter and my EM12-G modem, did the normal modem setup setting APN and TTL. But the interfaces seem to not have all the necessary protocol extensions? I am using the 2019-03-10 ROOter build you linked. I flashed the "factory ...

Things have changed for us here in the far reaches of the Colorado mountains -- we now have fiber!

It's been a few weeks now, and I'm still liking having OMR in the mix, despite our new found Internet riches. I've always had two WiFi networks setup, one that uses OMR and another that doesn't. House ...

Are you guys suggeting that MikroTik RBM33G be openmptcrouter? I ask as that was what I thought and I do not see a download image for it?


We're not suggesting that -- and it's not powerful enough. Everything we've been talking about related to the RBM33G, is for downstream routers -- on the WAN ...

This is like a DIY version of speedify? Why choose this over speedify or vice versa?


It's been a couple of years since I tested Speedify, but the performance was not nearly on par with what you can do with OpenMPTCProuter. Speedify is also much more oriented towards running on an individual ...

Cool! I've been experimenting with running speedify on my laptop to bond my ATT Tablet plan ( Quectel RM502Q-AE ) , T-Mobile One Plus International ( Telit LM960 ) and T-Mobile One Plus International ( Smartphone tethering ). I might look into doing this eventually, it would be cool to have it all ...

cool, thanx for that input! Any benefits/preference for modems in their own router boards (eg: mikrotik rbm33g or 11g connected to the OMR via ethernet) Vs. USB modems only connected directly to the OMR (using the OMR's USB port/s ala Rooter)? I read you've used the ethernet/vlan route, but ...
