Hi-link e3372h-320 with Freshtomato


In the configuration interface of the dongle (192.168.8.1),  locate the DMZ settings (Settings > Security > DMZ settings) and enable the DMZ feature with a target IP address of 192.168.8.100, which should be the IP of the eth1 network interface on the router that the dongle is connected to (double check in OpenWRT under Network > Interfaces > eth1 > IPv4 or in the Basic->Network or Status->Overview in Freshtomato). Form now on, all incoming connections are passed directly to Freshtomato/OpenWRT. The firewall, SIP, and UPnP features of the dongle can be disabled. In contrast to what other guides say, the NAT setting can stay at its default (cone), because it does not have any influence on the DMZ behavior.

EDPNET and/or Fastfiber with Freshtomato (Netgear R7000)

 

If you want to use your own Freshtomato as a router/modem right after the ONT of Proximus in Belgium, use the following:

1. Go to Advanced -> VLAN -> and have the second VLAN have both the VLAN and the VID set to 10, tag the WAN, reboot and check if the settings are saved, and then they can put the modem cable to the wan (so the WAN port is not lost and they can have all 4 LAN ports for usage)
2. Go to Advanced -> Miscellaneous and enable CTF (otherwise the download speeds are also limited to 350 or 400 Mbps). This, in turn, pops up a window that says that it disables the QoS and the BW limiter.

I found this in the documentation.

Shortcut Forwarding Engine: CTF
Flow Acceleration: CTF & FA
