I’m confused as to why we’re talking about printers since this article is only about hacking this specific brand of bluetooth speaker and using it to perform commands on a PC. If you have a different speaker then it’s fine. Plus, if your printer doesn’t have bluetooth then it won’t get hacked by this exploit anyway.
But I think I have to add, that I use the openwrt machine just as dumb access point behind a opnsense box.
Ooh, can you go more into that? i have Opnsense as my router and this AP is just supposed to act as a WAP. I was struggling to figure out how to have it pull dhcp from the router and not to configure it on the WAP itself. That and DNS too, if the DNS isn’t configured on the interface then I get no internet access.
What hardware do you recommend?
Tbh I just picked something that was in their list of supported hardware that also operated with the Wifi bands I needed and had a good amount of Flash and RAM. Try to take the time to research what wifi drivers suck, such as Broadcomm. Mine is a Qualcomm, I got the Linksys MX5300 Velop Mesh, and now that I got my 3 wifi VLANs set it seems pretty nice. Haven’t gotten to use it much though so we’ll see, but I’m excited.
I do recommend checking how many radios it has because I was maybe considering having my Smart TV on it’s own VLAN but I don’t have enough radios for that. Maybe I’ll put it on the IoT VLAN.
Are there any that are smart enough for a SMB setting where the APs all scan other networks and then talk to each other and set their own channels and power levels to optimize WiFi traffic with minimal channel or power overlap?
Sorry, I don’t know anything about this 😅 You’d have to research this.
ONE IMPORTANT THING!!!
Make sure you do it on a chromium browser. I did it on FF a few years ago and was confused as to why it was failing, but when I switched to Chromium it worked. Idk if they fixed that by now, it’s been two years. Not that it bricked my phone or anything, it just took more time.
But yeah the guide is awesome literally just read it.
