  1. I'm happy to report that the $0.99 m.2 adapter and AX200NGW Wi-Fi 6 m.2 card on AliExpress WORK on both my 2014 MacBook Air and 2015 MacBook Pro!

    The AX200NGW also works on my other laptops, a HP 14-dq1025cl and a ThinkPad A475.

    Who knew it would take a Wi-Fi 6 card to finally get full Wi-Fi 5 speeds on my network? Time to order some more Wi-Fi cards...

  7. Powerful Hardware Turned into E-Waste

    What you're looking at is another unfortunate example of perfectly capable hardware becoming electronic waste long before its technical lifespan is over.

    This is the AirTies Air 4960, an AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 mesh extender/access point featuring impressive hardware:

    * Broadcom BCM6752 triple-core ARM Cortex-A7 SoC (up to 1.5 GHz)
    * Broadcom BCM43684 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 radio with 160 MHz channel support
    * Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
    * Two Gigabit Ethernet ports
    * Around 4.5 W power consumption

    From a technical perspective, this device is still more than capable of delivering excellent performance in many home and enterprise networking scenarios.

    - The Real Issue

    The hardware isn't obsolete, the software ecosystem is intentionally locked down.

    Many devices like this are heavily restricted by manufacturers or Internet Service Providers (ISPs), preventing owners from repurposing them once official support ends or the service contract expires.

    Meanwhile, open-source firmware projects such as OpenWrt, DD-WRT and Tomato have demonstrated for years that networking hardware can remain secure, functional, and useful far beyond its commercial lifecycle.

    Unfortunately, locked bootloaders, proprietary firmware, missing documentation, and closed-source drivers often make that impossible.

    Sustainability Is Also About Software Freedom

    We regularly discuss sustainability, circular economy, and reducing electronic waste.

    Yet perfectly functional networking equipment ends up in recycling bins, not because the hardware has failed, but because users are prevented from installing alternative software.

    * The hardware already exists.
    * The raw materials have already been mined.
    * The manufacturing energy has already been spent.

    In many cases, all that's missing is the freedom to install an alternative operating system.

    - A Better Approach

    I would like to see manufacturers embrace a more open ecosystem by providing:

    * Unlockable bootloaders
    * Public hardware documentation
    * Support or at least tolerance for open-source firmware
    * Longer software support lifecycles

    This would benefit users, enterprises, developers, the open-source community, and ultimately the environment.

    Not every retired device is obsolete, many are simply made obsolete through artificial restrictions.

  13. Бесшовный роуминг (Mesh) без переплаты: Xiaomi AX6S с OpenWrt и Mercusys — Wi‑Fi 7, 6 ГГц и шириной канала в 320 МГц

    Как получить три точки доступа с каскадным проводным бесшовным роумингом WiFi7 и общей LAN за дешево? Готовые Mesh-комплекты с Wi‑Fi 7 и диапазоном 6 ГГц начинаются примерно от 100 тысяч рублей, поэтому я собрал сеть из трёх самых дешёвых устройств в своём классе: Xiaomi Redmi AX6S на OpenWrt в роли маршрутизатора и Mesh-контроллера, Mercusys MR60X для покрытия Wi‑Fi 6 и Mercusys MR47BE ради Wi‑Fi 7, 6 ГГц, WPA3-SAE и канала 320 МГц. Что получилось: один SSID на трёх устройствах, обе точки Mercusys подключены по Ethernet EasyMesh-контроллером; контроллер — собранный мной пакет prplmesh для OpenWrt 25.12 (APK и патчи опубликованы); около 900 Мбит/с на проводном участке и столько же по воздуху; после перезагрузок сеть восстанавливается сама. возможность реализации горячего резерва двух провайдеров, SPLIT VPN и прочие прелести открытого кода Как это собрано и сколько стоит →
