    Is the adblocker on this thing any good?

    Looking for a cheap way to block ads on the smart TV / non-PC devices.

      • Merlict on 06/02/2025 - 11:37

        Not free because I don't have a Pi and only have the crap modem that came with TPG.

          You don't need a Pi to run either, multiple options including docker

          • 0jay on 06/02/2025 - 12:11

            @dickbeaver: but much recommending docker when we don't have a full spec sheet for this hardware

              @0jay: I suspect @dickbeaver is suggesting they don't need a new router to run pi-hole but likely can run it on an existing device

                @theguyrules: my tapo smartplugs did not work well with my deco router when i pointed the http dns of the deco router to a VM running docker with adgaurd home.

                but it works fine if the adguard home is in the router before the deco AP

                @theguyrules: how’s dickbeaver suggest getting docker on a tpg issue modem?

                • Krishg on 06/02/2025 - 19:33
                  +2

                  @0jay: I don't think they suggested that. TPG issued router was not even brought up when dickbeaver suggested docker, so it can be reasonably understood that the suggestion was to install docker/pi-hole/Adguard on any device on the network.

                • theguyrules on 06/02/2025 - 20:33

                  @0jay: What are you talking about

                    @theguyrules:

                    What are you talking about?

                    Merlict said he had a tpg modem then dickbeaver suggested docker but as Krishg pointed out, there’s another way of interpreting that (tho docker was suggested following the tpg modem being mentioned)

                    This Gli kit’s a good price but probly a bit underpowered for containers

                    Having said that, I’m running a bunch of stuff on an Rpi zero2 that I was told would not be able to handle (including plex in docker) so who knows

            • Merlict on 07/02/2025 - 21:06

              @0jay: Oh this modem is ancient and won't run open wrt or anything

              Thanks to all for advice, I'll leave it for now.

              • 0jay on 07/02/2025 - 21:11

                @Merlict: you considered NextDNS?

                  @0jay: Google says that doesn't block youtube / video ads which is the main thing I need

        • Limbot on 06/02/2025 - 13:23

          Free and on router under OpenWRT. No fancy interface or anything but does the job :)

      I run a glinet brum2 with agduard.

      you're not gonna block in-video ads
      but you'll block website ads

      and you need to self manage the block list because sometimes not enough things are blocked, and sometimes suddenly you cant check out on woolies app because they moved their services to something that you already blocked, so you need to figure out exclusions etc.

      I imagine this is the same for all DNS based blockers.

      and it does not really slow down internet

  • FoxJump on 06/02/2025 - 11:33

    i was going to get one, but then i read it wont support "mesh"

    • Thrifty McGifty on 06/02/2025 - 12:33

      If it runs openwrt, can't it still do mesh? Or are you talking about the 6GHz wireless backhaul? (In which case I don't mind because I've got ethernet around the house.)

      Was about to setup opnsense on an old NUC connected to a wifi5 TP-Link router as an AP, but wondering if this will be better and less work.

      • FoxJump on 06/02/2025 - 12:39
        +2

        mesh is strictly doing wireless backhaul. (regardless of frequency)

        then theres roaming, which doesnt require mesh

        you have eth backhaul, you dont need mesh, you want roaming. this should have roaming

        • Krishg on 06/02/2025 - 13:54
          +2

          No, not true. The difference between mesh and a collection of APs comes down to how the nodes/APs are managed; mesh - one configuration for all nodes and they balance the power, bunch of APs - configured separately. Roaming can exist with or without mesh, as it is a matter of how the device switches from one node/AP to another.

          Mesh Backhauls can be wired or wireless.

          • rygle on 10/02/2025 - 00:01

            @Krishg: Mesh means many different things depending on which manufacturer you look at.

            Roaming is often mis-labelled as mesh. Roaming is a standard, 802.11r, also called fast transition. If you have wired backhaul, you only need 802.11r to enable devices to jump from access point to access point with little to no interruption. No need for mesh in any other sense because it is all handled by the wires.

            https://blogs.cisco.com/networking/what-is-802-11r-why-is-th…

            • Krishg on 10/02/2025 - 09:42

              @rygle: I agree that Mesh means different things based on manufacturers. However, note that 802.11r is a standard for mobile devices, not so much about the APs/mesh nodes. The fact that even this standard may not be implemented properly across manufacturers makes it a hit and miss.

        It seems this B3000 doesn't have the public OpenWrt support, so we will be stuck with the build that GL.inet created

  • Thayer on 06/02/2025 - 11:50

      I dont see why not. I have used another router with TorGuard wg. The best part is you can setup to only route guest wifi traffic over VPN. That gives best of both worlds.

    • mansunz on 06/02/2025 - 13:50

      Apparently yes. I was asking the same question and found out I should be able to connect via Wire guard protocol. I ordered one as well

  • CheapWrangler on 06/02/2025 - 13:59

    Could you use this router with100/20mbps internet to stream games from PC to TV wirelesly in the same house? Is there noticable lag? Could you use this to do Steam VR wirelessly to a Quest 2?

    • Thiefsie on 06/02/2025 - 14:03
      +1

      Yes to both, and the NBN is irrelevant in that case. There will be latency and YMMV.
      You have a harder time with the controller/s when streaming PC to TV without a device. Best done with a steamlink/steamdeck/shield/etc.
      Also, most TVs only have 100Mb ethernet (lol) so better to go wi-fi direct to the TV, or use a device via ethernet with a gigabit+ speed.
      In both cases you will want the PC connected via cable to the router.

      • The Fat Cat on 06/02/2025 - 17:31

        On the note of TVs being 100mbit. If the TV has a USB3 port one can use a gigabit USB3 ethernet adaptor for higher speeds.

    I was excited until I realised that it was just a router with a fancy picture frame that it can be attached to. I like how it has a high Wireguard upload speed as I currently use my very old GL-AR750 as the home WG server but since my upload speed is a paltry 50MBps this is not a real issue for me while traveling outside of home.

    That being said, if you do not already have something like this for a Wireguard server, it would be a nice entry price point to getting into this space. I would definitely buy this if my home WG server (GL-AR750) was not working (FYI it has been working 24/7 for over 4 years for me so happy with build quality for their products).

  • starspawn on 06/02/2025 - 14:57

    Hmm this looks like a bargain for a WIFI 6 router. I am on the 1000/50 plan so need a new router to take advantage of the speeds!

  • NachoCheese on 06/02/2025 - 17:33

    What 2 AP would you guys pair with this? Double storey house. Wired backhaul. Thinking of buying this just for WAN from nbn FTP and switching off the wifi from this and only using the AP. Currently have deco M5s in wireless mode. Just finished wiring CAT6 cabling.

    • NachoCheese on 06/02/2025 - 20:05

      Nvm. It’s AP only. Just realised it’s not a modem/router.

      • Limbot on 06/02/2025 - 20:13
        +1

        No it's a router but not a modem/router and can be run in router or AP mode. In fact because it can be made to look like a picture frame I reckon it'd make a good AP as it would pretty discrete. Maybe a Flint 2 as your primary router and WiFi and the Marble as an AP on the second floor .?

        • NachoCheese on 07/02/2025 - 20:32

          Was thinking FTTP nbn box to Brume 2 and then connect to tp-link poe switch for power and data to Omada ceiling mounted APs for upstairs and downstairs. Would that be the go?

  • DealSat on 06/02/2025 - 22:24

    Can anyone suggest, how can I replace my ISP(Dodo) providers , modem/router to achieve better coverage and security.

    • Limbot on 06/02/2025 - 22:49

      Assume since you have a modem/router you are on FTTN. Buy a new router and bridge your current modem/router if you can.

    • Shazbot-66 on 10/02/2025 - 15:40

      i got this to replace the dodo router, for some reason it just wont work

  • DealSat on 07/02/2025 - 01:45

    It's FTTP connection, I tried bridging with Asus Zenwifi mesh router, the tech support from Dodo wasn't able to help me with the config. The current modem/router is pretty basic and does not have the bridging features I guess, hence looking for replacement modem router

    • Limbot on 07/02/2025 - 03:38

      Personally, I'd go for a Flint or a Flint 2 then.

    • Krishg on 07/02/2025 - 06:27

      If it's FTTP, you don't need to bridge. Just replace your old one with a new one. Just get the connection settings and apply to the new one.
