Hello,
I am building a mobile AREDN setup using an ALFA Tube and a GL-iNet GL-AR300M16 router. My goal is to connect a laptop through the router’s Wi-Fi hotspot and use the system to conduct a HaLow propagation survey.
I successfully flashed both devices with AREDN firmware version 4.26.7. My base station consists of a MikroTik hAP ac2 router connected to another ALFA Tube.
The two ALFA Tubes connect to each other successfully; however, the GL-AR300M16 does not appear to establish a DTD connection with the mobile ALFA Tube.
I noticed that the GL-AR300M16 interface does not include an “Ethernet Ports” configuration panel, so I am unable to configure Port 2, labeled LAN, for DTD operation. I also checked the swconfig file and found that it does not contain any configuration data.
Could you please advise how to enable or configure DTD capability on the GL-AR300M16?
Thank you for your assistance.
