Hello Mario
Yes the Reaver Firmware works with the gl-ar150 follow this link and download the latest,bin File: http://xiaopan.co/forums/downloads/reaver-pro-firmware.342/updates
After that simply press the reset button for about 5 Seconds (the red light should flashes a few times) then go to 192.168.1.1 and simply upload the firmware after 2 minutes you´r ready
Schimanski i´m waaaaaayyy too young for this! 😀 (25 years old)
but if u come to the ruhrgebiet we should drink a beer! 
hope the rotary encoder arrives soon so i can compile my own openwrt and do a little bit soldering!^^
Will share my results for sure
That would be great!
@9: I’m sorry. It was somewhere midnight and I got a bit tired I think. It is possible to configure the DDNS right in the bash scripts. I can’t remember I did see it in the LUCI configuration either.
Switching between configurations:
I would like to see separate directories for configurations. Something like this:
/config this for the default configuration when switch is in the middle position when GPIO7 and 8 are both HIGH
/config1 this gets activated when GPIO7 is being pulled LOW
/config2 this gets activated when GPIO8 is being pulled LOW
Why the default config in the middle position? This makes most sense as a failsafe since it needs the most fiddeling to the little switch.
When the firstboot command is used, this only deletes /config or does it do more then that? This is one more reason to use /config as the failsafe position
For the AR150 this would be an improvement already to switch between Default, Fixed and experimental configurations.
For instance: When I’m just using the router as an access point I like to store the configuration under GPIO7. And GPIO8 I would like to use to store the config that i’m tinkering with. A SSID for for Guests, or a ‘repeater’ mode. but can be used for many other configurations. Router, Access Point, Bridge, Repeater, Hotspot, WPSmode, Babyphone(?), AudioStreamer, VOIPmode, TOR, NAS, Torrent, Bitcoinmining… whatever people do with these boxes. This is why a rotary encoder came to mind. then I can take AR150 with me and tinker with MANY configs whenever an idea comes to mind… All can be backed up with one press of a button.
For a travel scenario when someone only travels between 3 fixed locations then he could store those 3 locations as configs. when using GPIO 7 and 8. But thats too limited for someone who wants to use many locations.
All of this together with the GUI for configuring the most important settings in an understandable manner so that a novice user can understand it. Just 3 configurations for the GPIO7/8 switch. /config for middle position /config1 for LEFT position, /config2 RIGHT.
@DDNS
the DDNS domain name should indeed not be visible on the mainpage. Under a menu it would be better and with an option to turn DDNS off so that the device does not ‘call home’ as Guest mentioned elsewhere on this forum.
The biggest task is to make it all userfriendly for the average lazy surfer out there who considers that browsing the web is a ‘technical skill’. Those people easy get scared away with technical terms. Where we say AP they say HUH? When we say Access Point then they look at the door.. 😀 The GLi GUI does a great job to make it easy for novice users and it should stay as easy as possible. And it should have an online manual with screenshots and mouseovers that explain even the simple settings in a simple way. Everyday new ‘fresh’ surfers come online who never have seen any of this. Some become hackes, others just want to be able to watch cat’s on you-tube. But they all have some kind of router.
8 characters requirement. For a travel router there should not be a minimum requirement, you never know what others have set as password, but for a stationary home router a 8 char minimum would be a good thing.
The save and recall would be very nice, I like the way android automatically Connects to known SSID’s. But is this actually secure? Are there better options? Or would a checkbox for ‘autoconnect ON / OFF’ be enough?
I also would like to see the MAC address removed from the bottom of the main page for similar reasons. And which MAC is it, WAN or LAN. It should be on the respective settings page.
@frietpan – you need to differentiate between Router Login and SSID Key. The login can be any size the user wants. It shoudl not be a requirement like a bank imposes on us. They have liability. In the case of the router, if it gets hacked it’s my fault. Regarding the SSID key, for WPA it’s a technical requirement to do the encryption, though it’s stored in clear text in the config files. That’s an open WRT thing, that used to bother me, but the reality is one needs router access to get the info from the config, then they can change it in the GUI.
My iPhone has a config setting for wireless that says auto connect to known SSID (Yes\No). I would like 2 options ideally. Connect to know secure SSID and connect to known unsecure SSID. I do not want to connect to Starbucks every time I walk in, only when I ask. I want to connect to my hose every time I walk in.
This morning installed PHP and a MySQL DB server on the GLiNet router.
Trying a little test here and asking for suggestions or help?
Bypassing the Arduino stuff I want to add a second serial port to the GLiNet microrouter and just have the GLiNet router talk on this serial port and not have to use the Arduino.
For connectivity can I just purchase a tiny TTL to serial board (without the RS-232 port on it)?
What is the best mechanism for connecting the TTL to the GLiNet board?
Is it recommended to use the GPIO ports to create a second serial port?
I do want it to be separate.
Compiling OpenWrt, i’m not at ease with it all. …Fear of making bricks..
I have read the OpenWrt wiki and on the GLi blog there is also a tutorial, the configuration procedure doesn’t look too difficult, but still it feels like there is a potential to make mistakes that can make bricks. Now if it is possible to flash images from USB then I would give it a try. How do you know that your self compiled image is safe to flash? Do you like to gamble, or do you have tools to repair bricks?

There is no “load firmware from USB”. But I know some uboot does have this functions.
Hey Alfie, whats up? All good?
What about these new routers, any ETA about this?
Hi, Rene,
We will put on store today as DEV boards first. No case!
Hi. I recently purchased an GL-AR150, which I am enjoying a lot!
I have connected a USB webcam and looking for some help
This is a link to the webcam: `<a>http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mini-USB-5M-Retractable-Clip-WebCam-Web-Camera-Laptop-Hot-Worldwide/32289002234.html</a>
`
When I visit the Video page in the GL-Net interface I can see the camera is detected, but there is no image displayed. Trying different resolution and framerate does not help.
I can see that the image location is http://192.168.8.1/stream and when I visit that directly in the browser, I see “500 – Internal Server Error”
How can I see exactly what error is occurring?
I have tried enabling logging by editing /etc/lighthttpd/lighthttpd.conf but not even sure if lighthttpd is involved at all. In any case, I am not seeing any logs being generated. It would help me make progress if I could see the log of the “Internal Server Error”, but don’t know what steps to take.
Any suggestions?
is it possible to have this work as a camera for the video device. it says cannot find video device
we didn’t include all video modules. Can you manually search for “kmod-video” in the web UI and install the necessary kernel modules.
According to http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Gspca_devices
you may need to install these: kmod-input-core, kmod-video-gspca-ov534
I am familiar with the shape of this camera, not sure if this is the same product.
The camera works with OpenWrt AA1209 but don’t works with BB1407 and later one. Also even in AA1209, it consumes a lot of CPU resource and performs bad.
I also tested on ubuntu, it also takes too much CPU power.
Not recommend!
This may or may not related to lighttpd. Try this http://192.168.8.1:8083/?action=stream or http://192.168.8.1:8083/?action=snapshot to see if you get anything. If you can see the video, it means a problem of lighttpd. If you see nothing, it means a problem of the driver then.
Sounds great!
where to find it?
is the case sold as addon in the future? I also need a spare 6416 case because i got a 6416 without a case and i would like to add a case for it
@Rene, sorry. Still preparing materials. Hope to make it available tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your reply. Yes! From your suggestion I was able to get it working in AA1209, but very low resolution and bad frame rate. Not sure why it is completely broken in BB.
My camera almost exactly the same as pictured here: http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/hardware/USB_Camera_AX2311/
So I think I have learned that this camera is YUV only and relies on the JPG compression by software, which is too CPU intensive for mini routers anyway.
A what a shame, it works very well in windows (for the $2 price!)
Do you have any suggestion or links for very low cost webcam that will work well with the AR150 running OpenWrt?
