2024-01-07: check uptime (for some reason this AP is not in my DNS)

root@kg-shelby-b:~# uptime
 17:04:10 up 254 days,  9:03,  load average: 0.08, 0.01, 0.00

2023-09-09: check uptime

root@kg-shelby-b:~# date;uptime
Sat Sep  9 13:17:08 CEST 2023
 13:17:08 up 134 days,  4:16,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

2022-10-29: reboot again - Jolla Tablet couldn't connect.

2022-05-30: my Jolla Tablet couldn't connect to this AP, so I rebooted it. It had 276 days of uptime.

2021-07-07: I re-created this page on my self-hosted web server.

2020-09-11: it seems like the box rebooted on its own:

root@kg-shelby-b:~# date;uptime
Sun May 10 19:25:06 CEST 2020
 19:25:06 up 18 min,  load average: 0.02, 0.09, 0.11

and the date is totally wrong too. Hmm,

root@kg-shelby-b:~# uci show system.ntp
system.ntp=timeserver
system.ntp.server='0.openwrt.pool.ntp.org' '1.openwrt.pool.ntp.org' '2.openwrt.pool.ntp.org' '3.openwrt.pool.ntp.org'

looks correct. I did 'sync with NTP server from System, system and that fixed it:

root@kg-shelby-b:~# date;uptime
Fri Sep 11 07:57:56 CEST 2020
 07:57:56 up 27 min,  load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.06

ok

2020-05-10: OpenWRT - uci - network.lan

root@kg-shelby-b:~# uci show network.lan
network.lan=interface
network.lan.type='bridge'
network.lan.ifname='eth0.1'
network.lan.proto='static'
network.lan.ipaddr='192.168.1.1'
network.lan.netmask='255.255.255.0'
network.lan.ip6assign='60'

and

root@kg-shelby-b:~# uci get network.lan.netmask
255.255.255.0

so change it

root@kg-shelby-b:~# uci set network.lan.netmask='255.255.0.0'
root@kg-shelby-b:~# uci get network.lan.netmask
255.255.0.0
root@kg-shelby-b:~# uci set network.lan.ipaddr='10.1.10.14'
root@kg-shelby-b:~# uci get network.lan.ipaddr
10.1.10.14

and commit

root@kg-shelby-b:~# uci commit

verify

root@kg-shelby-b:~# uci show network.lan
network.lan=interface
network.lan.type='bridge'
network.lan.ifname='eth0.1'
network.lan.proto='static'
network.lan.ip6assign='60'
network.lan.netmask='255.255.0.0'
network.lan.ipaddr='10.1.10.14'

now I just need to activate it.

root@kg-shelby-b:~# service network reload

(my ssh connection broke, but it worked)

2020-05-10: OpenWRT - config via uci then:

root@kg-shelby-b:~# uci
Usage: uci [<options>] <command> [<arguments>]

Commands:
    batch
    export     [<config>]
    import     [<config>]
    changes    [<config>]
    commit     [<config>]
    add        <config> <section-type>
    add_list   <config>.<section>.<option>=<string>
    del_list   <config>.<section>.<option>=<string>
    show       [<config>[.<section>[.<option>]]]
    get        <config>.<section>[.<option>]
    set        <config>.<section>[.<option>]=<value>
    delete     <config>[.<section>[[.<option>][=<id>]]]
    rename     <config>.<section>[.<option>]=<name>
    revert     <config>[.<section>[.<option>]]
    reorder    <config>.<section>=<position>

ok

2020-05-10: firmware - I flashed the latest image from dc502wrt.org, which went well. For some rerason I have trouble getting the ip (v4) address to stick, so now I have ssh'ed to the AP via IPv6:

tingo@z30b:~$ ssh -6 root@fe80::6238:e0ff:fe0c:2c4f%wlp2s0
root@fe80::6238:e0ff:fe0c:2c4f%wlp2s0's password:
