Part 138: Monitor OpenWrt with Zabbix

What's up, home? part 138 cover image

I had an Asuswrt-Merlin based home router for many years. However, my trusty ASUS RT-AX68U started to misbehave badly -- most of the CPU time spent on I/O wait for no clear reason, dropping especially 2.4 GHz connections and more. 

I then stumbled upon a very affordable ASUS RT-AX59U.Not the latest and greatest, but it had something I wanted: good support for OpenWrt. It was time for me to try out something else than Asuswrt-Merlin just to be different.
