Wanted : Itus Shield

Hi all,

I wanted to know if it is possible in 2023 to get my hands on a Itus Shield. Ebay does not show anything. Any idea ?

I live in France.

All help is welcome.

Thanks in advance

Antoine

Hi,
 I do have an Itus Shield, I did upgrade to the new Itus Networks Shield Firmware v2 Released which Grommish releases and is on openwrt, will need updataing to latest code as its been switched off for about 1 year, great bit of kit, I will want £30 + postage if your interested I will post on ebay.

@Roadrunnere42, Thanks a lot for the quick answer. Can you please confirm this Shield has a cavium octeon3 cpu by adding internal images or kernel logs ? Links to ebay also welcome. Expect a transaction in the next few days if everything ok.

Just for anyone wondering, and very late response, yes, the Shield has a Dual Core 1ghz Octeon3 SoC, however OpenWrt keys to Octeon+ by default for backwards compat along the Octeon device tree.

And thanks to @Grommish development to this day the shield is up-to-date on the latest vanilla OpenWrt.

I'm running many packages such as HAProxy, acme certs, https-dns-proxy, banIP, SQM, etc. that the shield handles without issue!

Yeah, the Shield just continues to impress as far as hardware and it's ability to continue to thrive after nearly 10 years.

I've been tempted to try and install the unpopulated mPCIe slot to see if I can put wifi on it. Even a standard laptop client wifi adapter would allow even a "wifi bridge and backhaul"

Hi,

I've still got mine sitting in an cardboard box, haven't posted here for a long long time when i used to contribute.

Is the v2 firmware still being maintained by any chance or does it just get updates directly from openwrt?

What's the throughput like now that most people can get 1-3gbps FTTH these days.

You can get it from OpenWrt directly. I mainlined it a few years ago.

However, only the ROUTER position works. The other images aren't used by Openwrt natively
