Hi Fellow NetSIG-ers,
It has been a busy month (for me), and I am finally getting around to getting ready for this month's NetSIG. It will be in the Small Boardroom of Quality Foods on Thursday evening, 6:30pm to 8pm, 24th of July..
I have recently been doing some upgrades to my OpenWrt routers, and have tested a better way to upgrade your routers to the latest release. The tool is called Attended SysUpgrade, and it makes upgrading a snap by keeping your installed packages and configuration.
I have tested this on our new TP-Link AX23 routers, and will demo it on that router at NetSIG. If you have a router you want to bring in we can upgrade it as well (in the lab portion).
See you on Thursday evening,
Craig... Bring your laptop with Wireshark, and an OpenWrt router (if you have one).

Afterword, we will go out for a beer/coffee. We'll be meeting in-person this month, at Quality Foods, View Royal, 27 Helmcken Rd #110. We will also setup a laptop in the upstairs small board room for those attending remotely.
We'll use Jitsi for the remote part of this meeting:
