I see DSL modem-router combo devices on OpenWrt... Any experience using them with
LibreMesh? Are all the necessary config options accessible, either though GUI or CLI?
The public ISP here has just informed is that after all it may be impossible for them to
sell us a fiber optic connection in the town we have line of sight to, so we're
looking for ways to improve our DSL quickly whole we figure out our longer-term strategy.

Clarifying my question about a modem-router combo: we could use a modem that is only a
modem, and connect or to a router, or maybe even NanoStation M2. Choosing equipment is
matter of what's compatible and what's available.

If you can configure your modem to allow the LiMe gateway node to do
PPPoE (and get a public address) **and** get rid of all buffer bloat,
that can be a good option.

I deployed a couple of TP-LINK TL-W8970B routers (unlike what's written
on the package those are capable of VDSL2 incl. vectoring -- just the
stock firmware can do ADSL2+ only) and use LibreMesh on them.
When I started to go down this road, it was probably only me there. So
I convinced a lot of people to help make LibreMesh offer targets other
than ar71xx. lantiq/xrx200 was the first I used in production back
then and it works great. No more double NAT, no more buffer bloat,
people are using VoIP/SIP on those (pretty crowded) networks and even
that works.
Cheers
Daniel
