         GL.iNet Utilities Toolkit

🛠️ A growing collection of practical utilities for managing and tuning GL.iNet routers via a single interactive script.

---

Features

• 🖥️ Deep Hardware Insights – Total visibility into your CPU, RAM, and storage. Includes paged navigation for network interfaces and wireless radio details (Link speeds, MIMO, Channel bandwidth).
• 🛡️ VPN Crypto Audit – Instantly verify if your hardware acceleration (AES-CE, NEON) is active at the kernel level for optimized OpenVPN and WireGuard performance.
• 🛠️ AdGuardHome Control Center – A central hub to toggle the service, manage/enable UI updates, and bulk manage a pre-set list of blocklists and allowlists. Manage persisting AdGuardHome updates through firmware updates.
• 🆘 Fail-Safe Recovery – "Industrial" self-healing logic. If your AGH binary or init scripts are corrupted, the script pulls pristine copies directly from the device's /rom to restore functionality.
• 📦 Surgical Backups for AdGuardHome – Precision-tracked AdGuardHome backups. Create, manage, and restore configurations, binaries, and init scripts with automated timestamping and integrity checks.
• 💾 Zram Swap Management – Essential for lower-RAM travel routers like the Beryl 7. Easily install and tune compressed RAM swap to prevent out-of-memory crashes.
• 📊 Performance Benchmarks – Real-world testing including stressing CPU cycles, OpenSSL throughput, raw Disk and Memory I/O speeds, and DNS throughput compared to a Beryl 7 baseline.
• 📋 Secure UCI Viewer – Quick, read-only access to your system config. Audit SSIDs, Wi-Fi keys, VPN tunnels, and GoodCloud settings without digging through the CLI.
• 🚀 OpenSpeedTest Integration - Automated download and deployment of the OpenSpeedTest server script for optimized local network speed diagnostics.
• 🔄 Native Self-Updater – Stay current with zero effort. The script checks GitHub on launch and can perform an in-place update.
• 🆓 GPL-3.0 Licensed – Free, open, and community-driven.

Tested on various GL.iNet models (Beryl, Beryl AX, Beryl 7, Slate 7, Flint 3, Flint 3e, etc.) running recent firmware.

🔧 Requirements

• GL.iNet router running OpenWrt-based firmware (most models supported)
• SSH access (root login enabled)
• Internet connection for updates, package installs & benchmarks
• Optional: opkg packages (lscpu, stress, etc.) are installed automatically when needed

---

⚙️ Updating the Script

The toolkit includes a built-in update checker (option 7 or automatic on start).

To force an update manually:

wget -O glinet_utils.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phantasm22/GL-iNet_utils/main/glinet_utils.sh
chmod +x glinet_utils.sh
./glinet_utils.sh

---

🗑️ Uninstall / Cleanup

Simply delete the script file:

rm glinet_utils.sh

No other files are installed by default. If you installed packages via the script (zram-swap, stress, etc.), remove them manually if desired:

opkg remove zram-swap stress
