Building a WiFi Router from (mostly) Spare Parts

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Some time ago, I set about building my own wireless router.

Why?

Well, I wanted to see if I could put something together that would (theoretically) be upgradeable rather than disposable once standards moved on. I also had an existing setup (Unifi DreamRouter from their defunct early access program) that could not do the latest speeds, was limited to 1Gbit, and would be a good fit for upgrading my parent’s home set up. Finally, I had a collection of spare parts and no real purpose to put them to - this seemed like a good fit. Up front I should say that even with these spare parts, this is not a cost effective way to create a router - you will not be saving money here. In my case, because I am reusing an old mid-tower case it also won’t be particularly compact or power efficient. It was a lot of fun though, so from that perspective it was mission accomplished. I will get into how it performs, how I update it and configure it later, but this post will focus on the hardware, putting it together, what it cost etc.

Sharing Failures - Interviewing is Hard

Tue, 16 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000

I will get to part 3 of my series on becoming an engineer again, but that needs some more time to bake (part 1 and part 2 for those interested). In the meantime, something a little different… This is one of those posts that was difficult to write, and once written it was difficult to publish - it’s not easy to talk about failure. When I see how people react to such posts from others, in addition to just how demoralised and depressed people can get when they don’t get their dream job, deciding to share myself was made a lot easier.

Becoming an Engineer Again - Fog and Rust

Sun, 17 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Although my first post on this topic stated that a mindset shift was the key to a successful transition, it also takes some time to achieve. It is a longer term goal that I am working towards, but I don’t expect to make it happen in a couple of weeks. So, while there may be a post about approach and progress in that category relatively soon, it needs some time to bake.

Swinging the Pendulum - Becoming an Engineer Again

Fri, 15 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

The pendulum is swinging again, and it is swinging a lot faster this time than it has previously. I asked on Twitter whether people would be interested in some posts as I work through this change and the answer was yes. So here we are… Not My First Rodeo First things first - I like to remind myself that I have done this before, though a lot less deliberately. While working at MongoDB I was a manager for 2 years, eventually burned out in that role, and then made the shift back to engineering work (Solutions Engineering, then Consulting Engineering).

Deploying Secure Asset Distribution with AWS and Terraform

Mon, 09 May 2016 00:00:00 +0000

I was recently asked to come up with a solution for hosting some media files for a site. The requirements were pretty straight forward:

Should be available via HTTP and HTTPS
Minimal support requirements
AWS Based
Assets can be uploaded to the hosting with minimal effort/knowledge
Site should be performant within Europe (in particular)

The rest of the post will detail why I chose the solution I did to satisfy those requirements and how I went about configuring it. It includes a generalised version of the configuration in Github and even a diagram to illustrate!

Switching to Hugo from Wordpress

Mon, 29 Feb 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Something I have been meaning to do for a while is to switch away from Wordpress. While it is quite a nice collaborative tool and has some great options for WYSIWIG editing and content, it’s also far too big a hammer to use given my modest content and collaboration needs. I don’t have guest posters, I don’t get a lot of comments, and when I do get some interactions they would often work better in another medium (Twitter for example). I don’t have a lot of dynamic content and running Wordpress myself is not something I am particularly expert in.

I had been considering several options, but when I saw Steve’s work with Hugo I was sold (this was early days in the project and it was still pretty awesome). The big stumbling block was what to do with my old content and that stalled me out for a while. Around the same time as I contemplated the switch, I finally obtained the comerford.net domain - I had watched it for some time while someone sat on it, not using it, for years. I even tried making an offer for it (at what I considered a reasonable price) but got nothing, so I decided to wait for it to expire, which it eventually did.

Reflecting on 3 Years at MongoDB

Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000

This post took a while to write – when I started, it was my last day in MongoDB and finishing it I am over a week into my new role in Riot Games. It was a bittersweet moment – I was very excited to move on to my new adventure in Riot Games, but I was sad to leave a company that has been such a great place to work for the last three years. I decided to write this post partially as a record of what I enjoyed most, partly as a list of some of my accomplishments – memory fades and I have very much enjoyed reading similar posts from several years ago. I often wish I had written more in fact.

So, here it is, some random reflection on three great years, in no particular order. Due to the length, I’ll insert a jump, so click through if you would like to read on.

Explaining Parenting in Gaming Terminology

Mon, 02 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000

I was asked to do an “About Me” introduction for my new gig, and wasn’t sure how to mention the fact that I had recently become a parent for the first time. Given the fact that I now work for a games company, I decided to have a bit of fun with it and translate it into more gamer-friendly format. I think it turned out pretty well: I’ve just started playing a new game called Parenting, it’s in early beta, only at version 0.

MongoDB 3.0: Hitting 1.3 Million Inserts/Sec with mongorestore

Thu, 12 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000

This will likely be my last post about MongoDB 3.0 performance, as I am leaving MongoDB (after 3 fantastic years) to join Riot Games – more about that in later posts. Before I go, some testing I was doing to verify WiredTiger performance with the journal disabled led to some eye-catching numbers. While performing a restore using 3.0 mongorestore to a 3.0 mongod with 4 collections, I noticed I was pushing close to 300,000 inserts/sec.

MongoDB 3.0: Benefits of Compression with Limited IO

Thu, 05 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000

I re-ran my compression testing from November to show the on-disk savings that compression in WiredTiger allows in my last post. The other part of that testing was to see if we could show a benefit to having compressed data from a read perspective. As I explained back in November, one of the scenarios where compression can help is when there is only limited IO capacity available. Once again, to simulate that, I used a relatively slow external USB 3.

MongoDB 3.0: Testing Compression

Wed, 04 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Back in November, with the newly minted RC0 version of MongoDB 3.0 (then 2.8 of course), I ran a series of tests to check out how well compression using the new WiredTiger storage engine worked with a ~16GB data sample. Compression on disk worked fine, but the follow up tests to show the benefits of using compression when limited IO is available ran into issues and I ended up having to run the tests again with an updated version (and the appropriate bug fix).

MongoDB 2.8: Improving WiredTiger Performance

Mon, 17 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

My (rather popular) first post on this topic explained the benefits of compression (which comes as the default option with the new WiredTiger storage engine) for systems with lesser IO capabilities. The intent was to first show that the new storage engine saved space on disk and then to show that this could be translated into a gain in terms of performance when reading that data (slowly) off disk.

The first part of that story worked out pretty well, the data was nicely compressed on disk and it was easy to show it in the graph. The second part of that story did not work out as expected, the graph was a little off from expectations and my initial speculation that it was a non-optimal access pattern didn’t pan out. In fact, I determined that the slowness I was seeing was independent of IO and was due to how slow the in-memory piece was when using WiredTiger to do a table scan. Needless to say, I started to talk to engineering about the issue and tried tweaking various options – each one essentially reinforced the original finding.

It was soon obvious that we had a bug that needed to be addressed (one that was still present in the first release candidate 2.8.0-rc0). I gathered the relevant data and opened SERVER-16150 to investigate the problem. Thanks to the ever excellent folks in MongoDB engineering (this one in particular), we soon had the first patched build attempting to address the issue (more, with graphs after the jump). Before that, for anyone looking to reproduce this testing, I would recommend waiting until SERVER-16150 has been closed and integrated into the next release candidate (2.8.0-rc1), you won’t see the same results from 2.8.0-rc0 (it will instead look like the first set of results).

MongoDB 2.8 – New WiredTiger Storage Engine Adds Compression

Wed, 12 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

CAVEAT: This post deals with a development version of MongoDB and represents very early testing. The version used was not even a release candidate – 2.7.9-pre to be specific, this is not even a release candidate. Therefore any and all details may change significantly before the release of 2.8, so please be aware that nothing is yet finalized and as always, read the release notes once 2.8.0 ships.

Update (Nov 17th, 2014): Good news! I have re-tested with a patched version of 2.8.0-rc0 and the results are very encouraging compared to figure 2 below. For full details (including an updated graph), see MongoDB 2.8: Improving WiredTiger Performance

Anyone that follows the keynotes from recent MongoDB events will know that we have demonstrated the concurrency performance improvements coming in version 2.8 several times now. This is certainly the headline performance improvement for MongoDB 2.8, with concurrency constraints in prior versions leading to complex database/collection layouts, complex deployments and more to work around the per-database locking limitations.

However, the introduction of the new WiredTiger storage engine that was announced at MongoDB London also adds another capability with a performance component that has long been requested: compression

Eliot also gave a talk about the new storage engines at MongoDB London last week after announcing the availability of WiredTiger in the keynote. Prior to that we were talking about what would be a good way to structure that talk and I suggested showing the effects and benefits of compression. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough time to put something meaningful together on the day, but the idea stuck with me and I have put that information together for this blog post instead.

It’s not a short post, and it has graphs, so I’ve put the rest after the jump.

Finding the ReadAhead Sweetspot on an EBS Volume

Fri, 20 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Setting readahead (RA from now on) appropriately is a contentious subject. There are a lot of variables involved, but in my particular case I am setting out to minimize those variables, get a baseline, and have a reasonable idea of what to expect out of this configuration: Environment: Amazon EC2 Instance Size: m3.xlarge (4 vCPU, 15GiB RAM) Disk Config: Single EBS Volume, 1000 PIOPS The testing I am going to be doing is pretty detailed, and intended for use in a future whitepaper, so I wanted to get some prep done and figure out exactly what I was dealing with here before I moved forward.

My Conclusion from the Heartbleed Timeline

Tue, 15 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0000

This tweet encourages people to read the timeline related to the Heartbleed discovery and dissemination and draw your own interesting conclusions – challenge accepted! There is plenty of fodder in there for the conspiracy theorists, but taking a step back for a second I would draw a conclusion not based on who knew what, but rather how to be one of those entities that knew early. Why take that approach?

MongoDB 2.6 Shell Performance

Fri, 28 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Note: I have also written this up in Q&A format over on StackOverflow for visibility. When I am testing MongoDB, I often need to insert a bunch of data quickly into a collection so I can manipulate it, check performance, try out different indexes etc. There’s nothing particularly complex about this data usually, so a simple for loop generally suffices. Here is a basic example that inserts 100,000 docs: for(var i = 0; i < 100000; i++){db.

Testing MongoDB Over the WAN: Part 1

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0000

This will be my first multi-part blog post, and I am actually not sure just how many parts it will have by the time I am finished. My original intent was to test some failure scenarios whereby I would emulate a WAN link disappearing. That quickly expanded into a more ambitious test, I still wanted to test failure scenarios but I also wanted to test with some real world (ish) values for latency, packet loss, jitter etc.

In particular, I wanted to see how a sharded MongoDB cluster would behave with this type of variable performance and what I could do to make things better (I have some interesting ideas there), as well as test some improvements in the 2.6 version. I’ve created configurations like this in labs with hardware (expensive), XenServer (paid) but I wanted something others could reproduce, reuse and preferably easily and at no cost. Hence I decided to see if I could make this work with VirtualBox (I also plan to come up with something similar for Docker/Containers having read this excellent summary, but that is for later).

My immediate thought was to use Traffic Control but I had a vague recollection of having used a nice utility in the past that gave me a nice (basic) web interface for configuring various options, and was fairly easy to set up. A bit of quick Googling got me to WANem and this was indeed what I had used in the past. I recalled the major drawback at the time was that after booting it, we needed to reconfigure each time because it was a live CD. Hence the first task was to fix that and get it to the point that it was a permanent VM (note: there is a pre-built VMWare appliance available for those on that platform).

That was reasonably straight forward, and I wrote up the process over at SuperUser as a Q&A:

http://superuser.com/q/724551/113572

Once that was done, it was time to configure the interfaces, make routing work and test that the latency and packet loss settings actually worked (continues after the jump).

Bad Recruiting: Shutting Down an Interview Over Compensation

Mon, 10 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve meant to write this post up for a while. I have spent a lot of my time in the last 2 years recruiting, interviewing, making offers etc. as I built a team up from nothing to 9 people. I also interviewed for other positions in the company, helping others build out their teams. It was very tough, at times it seemed there were no decent candidates out there, but with persistence and perseverance we would eventually get a good candidate over the line and my faith would be renewed.

MongoDB Melbourne and Sydney

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000

I recently presented at MongoDB Melbourne and MongoDB Sydney and the slides have now been made available on the 10gen website: http://www.10gen.com/presentations/mongodb-sydney-november-2012/operating-mongodb-cloud These were not recorded, but at least the slides are now up for reference, which several people had asked about. The Amazon whitepaper should be updated shortly too, but still contains good information for reference purposes, even if it is lacking some of the newer features/options. Interestingly, my Sydney presentation coincided on the same day as the announcement of the availability of a Sydney EC2 instance – nice timing Share this: <div class="sd-content"> <ul> <li class="share-facebook"> <a rel="nofollow" data-shared="sharing-facebook-1188" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://comerford.

Simulating Rollback on MongoDB

Mon, 28 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000

The Rollback state of MongoDB can cause a lot of confusion when it occurs. While there are documents and posts that describe how to deal with the state, there is nothing that explains step by step how you might end up that way. I often find that figuring out how to simulate the event makes it a lot clearer what is going on, while at the same time allowing people to figure out how they should deal with the situation when it arises. Here is the basic outline:

Create a replica set, load up some data, verify it is working as expected, start to insert data
Break replication (artificially) on the set so that the secondary falls behind
Stop the primary while the secondary is still lagging behind
This will cause the lagging secondary to be promoted

I’ll go through each step, including diagrams to explain what is going on after the jump.

Gamification – A New Twist on the Carrot and Stick

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0000

I recently realised I had become a bit obsessed with increasing my StackOverflow reputation – hardly a surprise really given how close it is to the gaming concept of XP and leveling, which has caused large parts of my life to disappear into a black hole (Civ and WoW, I am looking at you). I have been helping out on SO, mainly on the MongoDB side of things there since I joined 10gen and it has been a great learning experience as well as a great tool to use, the self moderation means that the questions (and I hope, my answers) are generally well formed and potentially useful to others.
