NetModule routers: Do they run a version of DDWRT, Tomato, etc?


Recommended Posts

ithink what you may find is in some the Manual's ..... it clearly shows screenshots of WebAdmin... pages ...

My guess its what they mean by linux is LIKE EVERY! standard router the BASE OS is linux but the maker in this cause NetModule take the base and compile there approved versions of iptables etc in to it and compile tehre own IMAGE and flash that to the unit ...

as the manual screenshots and manuals say http://www.netmodule...00_manual_e.pdf

4.5 Firewall

This router uses Linux?s netfilter/iptables firewall framework (see

http://www.netfilter.org for more information).

It is set up of a range of rules which control each packet?s permission to pass the router. Packets,

not matching any of the rules, are per default allowed.

and the screenshot is of an own custom basic Webpage ...

so from what i see NetModule make there own firmware

DDRWRT in no way on there site i see any mention of NetModule being supported so i assume OpenWRT would be the same

AHHH correction .... http://www.netmodule...oduleLinux.aspx

they (NetModule) take a OpenWRT Base ... mod it to there approved specs and versions and config ... repackage it and flash those to the routers ...

so NetModule routers by looks of it are just repacked OpenWRT .... .. http://openwrt.org/

While on subject, why dont I ask the question here :)

Ive been asked to recommend either:

NetModule NC1000 ( http://www.dexceldesigns.com/products/partner/nc1000_product_information_e.pdf ) (Funny thing about this one is that it is NOT on NetModule's site so I imagine it is discontinued)

or

NetModule NB2500 http://www.netmodule.com/store/products/nb2500_product_information_e.pdf

Now its obvious that the NC1000 is a more complete (and obviously) expensive "router" to connect to these:

NetModule NB1600 http://www.netmodule.com/store/products/NB1600-Wireline_product_information_e.pdf

Basically the NB1600 connect to remote machines thru OpenVPN and you can admin them remotely. Thats all to be done. Is the higher end NC1000 really neccesary? I think the NB2500 is more than enough (The NB2500 is though limited to 45 different NB1600, but Ive ignored that for now.)

Well they discontinued the NC1000 so Im not going to recommend and buy something that has been discontinued.

Yeah, I can now confirmed that: I called them up and they (their routers) have a OpenWRT base using LuCI as their GUI (standard). I have a DD-WRT router so Ill feel (more or less) right at home :)

    • That is $130 more than I paid for my 4TB a year ago. How is this a deal?
    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.
    • Depending how you’re wiring it internally, but try to put it inside conduit, that way in the future you can more easily replace cables, compared to running inside studs alone At least cat6a too
    • I bet Meta has lots of info on you anyway, gathered by other means. And Google, and Microsoft, and every other tech giant. If you use some form of modern electronic device, they own you already...
