Hi Dave,
Never got it unbricked, alas, but we did finish up the RadarToolkit.com
firmware, and are currently winding our way through getting permissions to open
source that software stack (the federal agency has given the o.k., and now we
just need the lead NGO to get sign-off from its board). Radar is a fairly
extensible Pi-based (and mobile-app-based) measurement tool that enables
longitudinal data collection to document network reliability. We've already
deployed hundreds of these devices across 4 states, and have documented
real-time "rolling blackouts" on specific ISPs up in Alaska. Radar is also
fairly seamless in terms of collecting info needed to make BEAD challenges
(which is this month's hot issue) -- though I'm far more interested in
collecting baseline intel prior to BEAD interventions (so that we can document
meaningful impact).
I remain quite perplexed on how NTIA plans to actually document the efficacy of
their public investments. One of the biggest (rightful) critiques of the BTOP
program was that there was no empirically-based assessment of what worked, and
what didn't. 12 years later and NTIA appears hell-bent on making exactly the
same mistake.
Meanwhile, I'll be very keen to see how the Broadband Nutrition Label rollout
goes -- starting next month, we *should* be able to do the first-ever,
systematic comparative pricing analyses on a national scale (at least among the
large-scale providers).

Hi all,
I'll be there!
Did you ever get your wndr3800s to work? I could send you a box of a
few 25 dollar fq_codeled gl.inet boxes to anyone that needs ´em,
particularly those still stuck with DSL. I have also been encouraging
folk to run the waveform or speedtest.net tests on the conference
wifi....
