I've flashed one of my two TP-Link WDR3500 routers (the one with the
tape over the WLAN port, as I intend never to let it near the
Internet) with DD-WRT in preparation for use as a whole house file
server.
I can:
* Connect to the router through WiFi, from both Lubuntu 18.04 and 20.04
* Make changes to the router settings with the web GUI from both Linux versions
* Execute Linux (busybox) commands from the web interface
* ssh into the router from Lubuntu 18.04.
I CANNOT:
* ssh into the router from Lubuntu 20.04. It complains about an
encrytion protocol not being available.
* Use the hardwire Ethernet ports from EITHER version of Lubuntu. The
network thingie spins for about a minute and says Disconnected,
repeatedly, whenever the cable is plugged in.
I DO NOT YET KNOW whether I can:
* Put multiple USB drives on via a USB hub
* Have the drives mounted Read Only by default, so as to be proof
against power interruption.
