RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT

Welcome,

I am here because I no longer have an idea how to improve my situation unless only the change of equipment comes into play. I have RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT the biggest problem with this device is lack of space for basic configurations. I bought this device with a thought about using ipv6, vpn gateways, securing wi-fi connections. After all these adventures with this device, I am already spreading my hands and I have.
I have removed all the packages that I found to be rational.
Currently, I only have:

0 user-manager 6.43.12
1 wireless 6.43.12
2 dhcp 6.43.12
3 ipv6 6.43.12
System 4 6.43.12
5 ppp 6.43.12

I have not configured VPN connections, even wifi is now able to connect only after WPA2 because the user-manager does not load the database because there is not enough memory. The only thing I added to the configuration is about 4,000 entries in DNS and 30,000 entries in the firewall and at the end … I do not know who this device is for sure but not for me .. And after what I experience with it, I say that for anyone because I use basic functions like AP simple firwall, it provides a simple router for 1/5 cents of this toy. pre-ask the question about resources:

/system resource> print
uptime: 1h15m36s

Maybe you have any suggestions maybe you can put the system on pendive? with 2GB of capacity where there will be no more files to save the scripts to perform a backup configuration, etc .. All that I can not do because with the current configuration only have 16MB of internal memory as I exceed this space on the trace trace present configuration working time the device has 100% cpu occupied by a process referred to as unclassified ..

Since you’re new we should be welcoming you :wink:

Your issue is the user manager, it’s a sizeable package and it eats up your free disk space. Host it on another platform if you wish to use it. Your RB962 is not meant for that with only 16mb of storage.

If you really want 4000 dns entries and 30.000 firewall rules, you should reconsider your choice for the RB962, which is not intended as enterprise gateway, it is a home access-point …

But I use it at home, I only require more from him … more than I can give … I have over 60,000 entries in the firewall list and he has been able to advise me … He was unable to hare 90,000 entries in DNS … 128MB ramu is not enough to reload so many entries … although the place for this configuration would be found, what is left for me to give up such services as DNS ive talked about, I hope that I can run a wifi connection with the help of EAP-TLS security. I count on it surprising to me since the pucon did not put any problems into the lower model like the RB750Gr3 256MB … Previously I used RB1000 there I could meet and test virtually any configuration but unfortunately I gave up the ghost and no AP … in summary there is no magic method eg create a pot zram on a pendrive or install the entire system on such a pedrive … Hardware this equipment would give advice, but this limitation 16MB flash space for configurations and packages is a misunderstanding … uploading all additional packages means that there is no free space for confugations and this replaying is useless. Combining how my approach to the subject and removing everything that can only be used for what it was created is also a misunderstanding is allinone equipment and in the knowledge can not even handle the basic configuration and compromises or half DNS entries or list of entries firewall because if you overconfident place, he loses conifugation and equipment goes crazy :slight_smile: and it is useless

Does loading the software using netinstall format the internal memory of the device?
