cpe210 - how to drop invalid packets?
2016-08-16 06:41:51

Model :
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I use my CPE210 in the operation mode "AP Client Router". Due to the specific limitation of my WISP provider I need to drop invalid packets when communication with it since otherwise it will disconnect me upon receiving of such a packet. This often happens when (invalid) IP packets with local addresses "leak" over WLAN port to the WISP provider. The solution is given here: http://www.smythies.com/~doug/network/iptables_notes/.
Therefore, to drop invalid packets, I just need to add the following line to the iptables rules:
"iptables -I FORWARD 3 -m state --state INVALID -j DROP". When I add this live over ssh the CPE210 device works until reboot. Is it possible to make this iptables change permanent or add this feature to the firmware? E.g. OpenWRT has this feature as a checkbox in the web interface.

In the mean time, flash OpenWrt, use a Trunk image, then OPKG LuCi
Or flash LEDE
But Before, make sure you can do this

I have already tried OpenWRT, but I was completely dissapointed with the output tx power. It was 11dbm, given by iwinfo, although luci web interface offered 23dbm. It seems that OpenWRT limits the value of tx output power. That is why I am back to the stock firmware.

Your never answered my request, quoted below
Share the commands to get to iptables and add the line
TL & OpenWrt use one Bin for Pharos 210 & 510
LEDE separated the frequencies, LEDE has 2 Bins
did you try LEDE

First, you need to open a ssh connection to the router. Second, you need to call the following command.
# iptables --list

Third, you can see (in bold) that there is no "drop invalid packets" in the forward chain. Fourth, to add this rule and insert it above the bold rule (i.e. to the third position in the forward chain) you need to run the following command:
# iptables -I FORWARD 3 -m state --state INVALID -j DROP
Fifth, you can check the resulting iptables rules as follows:
# iptables --list

Anyway, something is really wrong with the tx power output of openwrt (and lede). When I select US or GY as a region, iwconfig shows 23dbm when I select 23dbm using the luci web interface. When I select HR (Croatia) or NZ (New Zealand), I cannot get more than 11dbm (shown by iwconfig) despite a higher output power is selected using the luci interface.
However, 11dbm is a much lower power than the regulatory domain restriction for 2.4 GHz frequencies which is 20dbm for Croatia and 30dbm for New Zaeland.
