Does anyone who has the glinet USB 150have information if it is capable of tunneling? I was looking at a solution to connecting to my node back home when I am away. The small USB device looks quite portable if it is an option?

This reply is sent from a laptop using a GL-iNET USB150 tunneled to my home AREDN network.
What information do you seek?

Example, let's say I'm at Starbucks and I want to get onto the AREDN network using their open wifi. (I've done this.)
Before you leave the house, you want to make sure that you've configured your GL.Inet USB150. You'll need to add the IP tunneling package into the node itself. That's done via the "Administration" page. If you try to do this without first connecting the Microuter to a Wifi network is that when you try to click Refresh" next to "Download package" (the list will be empty initially) you'll get an error, "Error: no route to Host"
To resolve the no route to host issue, connect the Microuter to your network. Go into the basic setup page. Disable Mesh RF (uncheck the box) and click Save Changes. Once you do that, you'll notice that the WAN Wifi Client options are now avaialble. Click "Enable" and enter your local Wifi network credentials. Save changes and Reboot the Microuter. Incidentally, when you connect to a Starbucks location (or whatever other network) you'll do the same thing. And note for Starbucks, you leave the password blank. Also note that it only works for 2.4Ghz wifi networks.
Once your device has rebooted, go back to the Administration screen and click "Refresh" next to Download Firmware. The select list will now populate. It's been a while since I did this, so I might be wrong about which package to install, but I think it's called "Kmod-iptunnel4". Anway, install the packages you want, reboot and then you'll see the Tunnel options in the interface.
So, once the interface is ready, you want to setup the Microuter as the "Client" and your home AREDN access point as the "Server". Dont' forget to open up port 5525 pointed to your home node.
Hope that helps.
