Using to diagnose and provide customer support.

I met the project website today and found the idea incredible.

It comes in the way I want to manage the routers in my clients' homes.

As I am an ISP the main complaint is slowness when the user is away from the router or when some malware changes the DNS of the router.

In addition there are cases where neighbors steal the password and the client does not know how to change their own password from the wi-fi.

I saw a product paid for by CALIX to use on their ONUs, but I do not use OLT CALIX or other products from them.

My reality is selling cheap home routers like the TP-Links for $15.00.

I daydreaming I thought of some things that might be interesting if it existed and I found you.

So I would like to ask directly whether, there are or are possible.

- set different default setting gives original. (creating my own firmware)

- log connect and disconnect wi-fi devices.

- log the amount of data trafficked by devices.

- to log the signal strength of a device and its change between quality ranges.

- log using QSS button that sends password, steal password

- log in with password attempts

- remotely display device signal, mac, host name informed to DHCP, IP and speed gives connection and speed in use.

- programmatically allow changing the SSID, Wi-Fi password. (I saw you do this)

- allow programmatically change admin password. (I saw you do this)

As my goal is to do this on my clients' routers, it would be interesting to provide a screen for them to make some modifications for themselves in what is theirs. Created a client area on my web site.

And lastly I have openwrt working, could I install your product as an install package in the Software tab, or something like using opkg?

If I miss something, it's my lack of knowledge of the language and google translator.

Personal apologies in advance.

Hi Eduardo,

those are quite a lot of questions, I will try to reply within the limited time I have.

You can create your own OpenWRT based firmware with your own default settings.

OpenWISP doesn't provide all this logging/monitoring features out of the box. You should use specialized monitoring software like Zabbix/Nagios/Icinga to implement this.

There's a component of OpenWISP1 called OpenWISP Geographic Monitoring, but it's very limited to what it can monitors and it was designed specifically for simple public wifi scenarios.

With OpenWISP2 you can change any configuration you want on OpenWRT.

 

- allow programmatically change admin password. (I saw you do this)

 

Yes, you will have to use the django ORM to do that.

Something like this should do:

You can install via opkg, you may need to compile the package yourself if your target is not supported.
