| + | {{section> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Comtrend CT 536+ / HG 536+ is based on a Broadcom proccessor (board ID 96348GW-11). | ||

| + | ===== Flashing the firmware ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | <WRAP center round important 60%> | ||
| + | As reported in the [[https:// | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | The OpenWrt correct firmware is **openwrt-96348GW-generic-squashfs-cfe.bin**, | ||
| + | |||
| + | Notice that [[http:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | A usual procedure to flash with OpenWrt using the factory CFE bootloader: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Download your .bin image | ||
| + | - Set up a LAN connection with the router, your computer having the IP 192.168.1.2 (on some Comtrend CT 536+ it has to be 192.168.1.100, | ||
| + | - While pressing the reset button, power on the device and keep the button for 10 seconds | ||
| + | - Once releasing the reset button, you can browse to http:// | ||
| + | - Wait some minutes, and OpenWrt will be ready at 192.168.1.1. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This procedure will not overwrite the CFE bootloader, so you can use it later to reflash the router with any other firmware. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Specific Configuration ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | === PPPoE === | ||
| + | **NOTE:** **<color crimson> | ||
| + | |||
| + | However you can connect an external modem bridged to a LAN port. | ||
| + | |||
| + | All required packages are already installed in the default image.To configure PPPoE with UCI, do this: | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | uci set network.wan.proto=pppoe | ||
| + | uci set network.wan.username= | ||
| + | uci set network.wan.password= | ||
| + | uci commit network && ifup wan</ | ||
| + | |||
| + | === QoS === | ||
| + | **Note:** if you need QoS for consistent low latency on an ADSL connection, which is a common scenario, you should consider installing the '' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Install the qos-scripts package: | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | opkg install qos-scripts | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Basic QoS configuration using UCI: | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | uci set qos.wan.upload=192 | ||
| + | uci set qos.wan.download=2048 | ||
| + | uci commit qos | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Start QoS and enable on next boot | ||
