Wireless Joint

@hazarjast How do i send you a private message?

Sorry, let me clarify. Disable wifi meaning turn wifi off entirely. No backhaul, no 2.4, 5ghz, etc. No wifi period

The person using this only wants to use the lte modem/router function, nothing else.

I've been out of touch for a while. Glad to see more progress made.

Question; there is no option in the GUI to disable wifi. Is it possible to do so through console? Negative side effects?

I'd be weary of using any netgear cr@p on my phone devices. The analytics and phone home stuff is plentiful.

I dread the day we have an actual fiber outage here and I need to connect this lbr20 as backup.

Small updated. Tested with the freedompop sim. Seems they're not enforcing ttl now either. I did notice some strangeness. On initial boot with the fp sim, no internet after setting apn. Had to reboot the unit again.

Changed ttl to higher value (165). Hard web page refreshes were still relatively ...

^^This one was a dev unit too. Way over priced if I had to buy it retail.

Given you're using this in front of pfsense, have you explored ways of passing on the public ip directly to the the pfsense wan. In part to avoid double nat, but also to just use this as an LTE<>ethernet bridge?

For use as ...

@hazarjast Of course we give thanks to you and the folk(s) that deciphered telnet-enable, which without none of this would be possible (on later fw's) and this circle jerk would just result in no satisfaction

Glad it worked. Not sure why a reboot was necessary as my tests with clean reset worked without reboot but I can add that as something to try for others in troubleshooting.

For TTL most folks would use mangle on the router to avoid having to set on each client device for carrier plans that ...

Ok.. Progress.

Factory reset once on 2.6.3.50 fw. Did initial config then applied the mod.

Toggle circle on (now 1 slider). THEN, REBOOT!! This was key.

I only have cricket here which doesn't appear to throttle, regardless of ttl, so can't check it.

However, should the ttl value be 64, not 65 ...

Did factory reset, single slider now but it's still not working.

Once i'm in the shell, what should I be looking for to make sure the right files/settings are there for the bootstrap/hook to take place?

Trying to follow your code. For one, after completion, file

root@LBR20:/# ls -l /var/tftpd ...

US market, I let it do the firmware auto update. Says V2.6.3.50 in the top right corner. Sticker on bottom says LBR20

I can try reflashing with the direct link from netgear and do a factory reset.

Gave it a try with the 2.5 and 2.6 firmwares. Files get copied but doesn't look like it's run after a reboot. No ssh access.

Enabled first the bottom option, then top.. Still no go.

Thanks for the circlejerk update. Figures this is needed with a netgear product.

Mine was on 2.5.3.4 at some point... Auto updated I believe. Any way to undo whatever 2.5.3.4 so 2.5.2.20 works like before?

I must be missing something. I can't get anything under /mnt/ntgr/armor, or /mnt/ntgr/armor/etc, or cd /mnt/ntgr/armor/etc/init.d/ to persist between reboots. Tried the 2.5.2.20 and 2.5.3.4 uscc fw on the unit. Completed initial config, even put a sim in it. After every reboot, anything I add is ...
