TP-Link MR3020(U) Firmware

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for the TP-Link MR3020(U) firmware. Sadly, it's the only one not in the github repository. I'm hoping someone here might have a copy somewhere tucked away. It has a MD5 Hash of: B6AC73037DDBA834EF47707463321341 Is there any hope?

Is this project dead?

I saw the Alexandria plan repo in the LibraryBox Github account and it sounds like exactly the sort of project I was hoping to build. Is LibraryBox or Alexandria still being developed?

Roadmap for PI

Is there a roadmap for LibraryBox to come to raspberry pi. Looks like this has been pending for several years?

Typical number of simultaneous connections?

Hey all,

New here - just learning about Librarybox and have a couple of questions pertaining to simultaneous connections. I did some searching around online, but it was difficult to determine on a hardware specific basis. I read reviews (some that didn't reference hardware) stating anywhere from 10-50 connections... so I'm trying to figure out what's what.

From my research:

It seems like the MR3020 hardware is able to support safely 10 devices simultaneously. Multiple reviews seemed to confirm this.

What about for MR3040? The product itself is listed (on Amazon) as being able to support up to 5 connections simultaneously, so does that hold true when Librarybox is involved?

For the Librarybox branded equipment, what is the typical and/or maximum number of simultaneous connections supported? Sorry if I'm just blind and it's listed right on the website.

I'm looking to support up to 20 devices simultaneously... so please let me know if you have any equipment recommendations for that.


Brief background - I think this would be an awesome gift idea for my dad. He's a professor and keeps all of his lectures and class notes on flash drives to bring with when he teaches. So this sounds like a fun replacement for that with the bonus of class interaction! I think he'll really dig it. His classes typically range from 10-20 students, so I'd like to be able to ensure the equipment I get will be able to cover his average class size.
