i have a TP-link WR902AC, this router was previously installed with openWRT, I haven't been able to access this router, I have configure manually and put in manual gateway address and also apply local DNS server and it also not worked. My goal was to return this router to its default settings and default OS, but haven't find a way to do it. I already press the reset button on the router, but it seems to not return to its default factory settings. Is this router broken, or some steps that this community can suggest to do?
Laptop seems to be showing unidentified network and no internet access
The router light showing that it is not bricked

I want to control my raspberry pi with my Google Home at college, but everything I find involves a server and opening a port which I can not do on my schools network.
Is there another way I can do this?
The Google Home has no way to directly control other devices on the same network or through other wireless protocols. Everything goes through an Internet-based service and expects to communicate with devices via a server-based proxy. How that server communicates with the device is up to the developer.
Depending on your needs and capabilities, you do have a few options.
One option, for example, is to use a tool like ngrok to create a tunnel between the device itself and a service run by ngrok on the public Internet. Calls to the public https address are sent to a service running locally on your device, and you can handle it accordingly.
Another is to have your device connect to a server and listen for command changes, and then execute those changes. If you don't want to run a server, you can even use something like Firebase - have your device listen for changes on the real-time database (which can use the HTTPS port to communicate as a client, so you don't open anything) and have something like a Firebase Cloud Function act as the webhook for your Action.
Go through this blog post: http://nilhcem.com/android-things/google-assistant-smart-home
You will have to set up a OAuth server but as #Prisoner said you can use ngrok to tunnel the device to internet, BUT I would recommend using "localtunnel" as it provides a free static url and the set-up is also easy. NO Port Forwarding is required with this method.
More info on localtunnel setup:-
How to generate fixed url with ngrok
Moreover you need to activate the OAuth server only once for account linking & than you can close it.
The simplest way I can think of is to expose your Pi to the internet (using port forwarding, ngrok, or whatever) then set up an IFTTT Google Assistant trigger to invoke a webhook which points to your exposed Pi.
I have a new internet service provider, and thus a new broadband router, a Sagemcom Fast 3890. I have some Raspberry Pis on the inside, that I need to open to the internet, so I've set up some port forwarding. However, when I activate port forwarding, local access is no longer possible.
Example: I configure the Pi on 192.168.0.15 as a web server. I can access http://192.168.0.15/ and see the web page. When I activate port forwarding, I can now see the web page on my external IP address, but I no longer get a response from http://192.168.0.15/ - the request simply times out.
This is a basic Raspbian install, nothing funny. Only thing is my broadband router is new. Is this a feature or a bug?
This is obviously just the behavior of some broadband routers.
I am using openwrt and coovachilli for registration purpose, when there is presence of internet connection to router then chilli starts and popup page appears after connect to WiFi.
But I want popup page without presence of internet. Router should popup after connect to WiFi using coovachilli without internet. Please help me out in this situation.
Thanks in advance.
OpenWrt Version:- 15.05
CoovaChilli Version:- 1.3.0
It's not possible technically due to the way Coova Chilli (and other hotspot software systems) works.
Without Internet connection, your DNS server will return failures so no DNS query will work. Without DNS queries (and IP addresses as result), there won't be a HTTP request for Coova to hijack. Your device (eg. iPhone) won't even trigger a CNA window
There are possibilities (workarounds) of course - eg. make your DNS resolver (dnsmasq?) resolve to some dummy/hardcoded IP address while the connection is down. You would have to write a script yourself that detects connection and swaps configs
It is possible with a workaround.
You have to use a local UAM server (on the same host or LAN) and authenticate with local users file or local RADIUS server. For using local users file, without RADIUS server, you must specify a dummy RADIUS server IP:
radiusserver1 127.0.0.1
localusers /etc/chilli/localusers
Then, you can add a dummyuser:dummypass to your localusers file and use it for the authentication as usual:
http://${uam_ip}:${uam_port}/logon?username=dummyuser&password=${chap_password}
How can i host a website through my computer using server softwares?
I tried to host a website through my own computer using apache tomcat server but it didnt work ( please briefly explain every point )
The main issue that you need to deal with is getting the clients to your computer.
Yes, it is possible and yes I have done it, albeit a while ago.
You need to see if you can browse to your computers website from another device on your network, this will ensure that apache is working. Try another computer/laptop/tablet/whatever to see if this site reachable by other computers using the IP Address and possibly port number. If you cannot get to the site, there are settings in apache to deny certain ip's, google it to get the exact steps for your version. If it works, move on to step 2.
You will need a static IP Address to ensure that all further steps stay working, google this if you are not sure how to do it
You need to have the external IP address of your router(whatsmyip.org) or use Dynamic DNS to route traffic from an address to your ip and there are services that allow this. I can recommend no-ip.com - This is all assuming that you have access to the router.
You would be required to set up port forwarding on your router. This will direct the internet traffic to your computer. You will need to get the exact instructions for your specific model of router.
Please be aware that you need to have proper firewalls and systems in place to prevent attacks. I am sure that you are just testing at this point though...
All the best!
I've been trying to configure a captive portal using DD-wrt and Open-wrt, with my own radius server and I've also tried to configure them using a CSP page (http://worldspot.net).
DD-wrt
My first try was with a TP-LINK WR841N (v7.) and DD-wrt using the web interface. In dd-wrt web interface there is an option in Services -> HotsPot -> ChilliSpot. Here I tried both configurations, using my own server data, and also tried with WorldSpot data, and my issue was the same in both cases:
When I enable Chillispot on the router, I don't get IP assigned, meaning I can't connect to the wifi/lan. It seems the problem is obviusly with the router and It's something like the Chillispot configuration is not working, or the changes are not"applied"
Open-wrt
After some hours trying to make work dd-wrt I think that maybe with open-wrt it was easier to configure, and here I found another problem. After updating my TP-LINK to Open-wrt I realized that I cannot access to the router via WEB, so I have to connect via telnet and ssh to install some packages and make some configurations.
I tried to install "luci" the package for the web gui and I found with some errors:
- First It didn't find the package, and I have to change the /etc/opkg.conf file
- Once I downloaded the package and try to access web I get error uci_load: not found
- Once I fixed the uci package issue, I enable the uhttpd and start it, but when I try to connect via web I get another error "CGI didn't receive any response"
Questions
Someone with more experience than me could point me wich of these softwares is better to have a spot system/captive portal ?
It's possible that in dd-wrt case the configuration of chillispot wasn't applied to the router configuration ?
For open-wrt anyone has same errors with the web interface ?
I've been reading and it seems that it's possible to configurate ChilliSpot via SSH , but the tutorials I found were not very helpfull, anyone can point me to a good tutorial for this ?
I also have a D-Link dir-615 H2 but it seems to be less compatible with open-wrt and dd-wrt than the TP-LINK.
I would be thankfull for any information that can put me in a good direction, thanks!
Some months ago I found a very easy answer for this question about making a captive portal.
The best of this solution is that the router flashing part is very automatized and the Captive Portal configuration is made through a WEB UI very easy to understand and manage
You may also connect through ssh to the router if some software customization is needed, like VLANS
To use this solution your modem should be in this list(At the time the answer is wrote):
Linksys: WRT54G | WRT54GL | WRT54GS
MiniRouter: MR3201A
FonSpot / Fonera (Atheros)
Ubiquiti: Bullet-M | Nano-M | Rocket-M | Airrouter | UniFi | Bullet/Nano/etc/{2/5}
I used this method in several Ubiquiti AirRouters and now it just take me 5 minutes to configure a router for a HotSpot system using FreeRadius.
I tried with FreeRadius installed in a RaspBerry in LAN and also into an VPS through WAN
The steps to flash any of the above routers are:
Download coova-ap.jnlp from here
Open the file with Java Web Start
For Linux systems: sudo javaws coova-ap.jnlp
You have to click Flash CoovaAP and you will see a window like this where you should select your router model:
After the file is downloaded you will see the next window:
Here you should select your network device, usually eth0 (wired) is the best choice, anyways I strongly recommend to click Save firmware to File button to store a backup of the original firmware.
If youre using an Ubiquiti router, before clicking the Start Flashing
you need to:
. If you re using a Ubiquiti device you should put it in TFTP mode by unplugging the POE ethernet cable, and reconnecting it while holding the reset button for 8 seconds. If this doesnt work, you may have to press it for 16 seconds. The LED lights now should flash alternately indicating TFTP mode.
Once you hit Start Flashing and the flash is done, the router will restart and we will be able to access the router using the same Coova software.
Now the Configure CoovaAP button should be clickable and we will see a very fancy interface to configure the router Captive Portal, we will be able to use different HotSpot configurations.
If the button is not clickable make sure the CoovaAP IP is 192.168.1.1
One of the guides that help me most to configure the router using CoovaAP software was HotSpotSystem: Installation CoovaAP guide
On that tutorial you will have more information about some steps and the mainly configuration of the Captive Portal interface. I didn't add the HotSpot part because the question was about which was the best router configuration.
There are some ways to build a captive portal server:
1.
Regarding router compatibility I can only recommend DD-WRT build 22118 or later (coovachilli based dd-wrt).
Following versions are supported: mini_hotspot (broadcom_K26 non-nv60k , non-nv64k!), nokaid, standard, big or mega. Other versions (like mini or micro) don’t contain the hotspot module so they cannot be used for hotspot purposes.
Once you have a such build, you can start a simple Captive Portal with Chillispot.
All what you need is a FreeRadius server & Web Server.
2.
Using OptWARE
Here I used a router Asus RT N16, I've patched it with dd-wrt.v24-18024_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega.bin
