Router Upgrades

SPECS

HARDWARE	Raspberry Pi 4B

NIC	Built in + cheap USB NIC from Amazon
OS	OpenWRT

THE STORY

Took three attempts to get this working. First try was Pi-hole failed because I didn't realize I needed a second NIC. Second try switched to OpenWRT same issue. Third time I finally got the USB NIC and it worked after about an hour of troubleshooting.

Then I got a call saying the WiFi was down. Turns out the router would just stop routing after a while for no obvious reason. A reboot fixed it, so now it auto-restarts if it can't ping an AP on the network.

Xfinity router is mostly gone. Good enough.
