amtm amtm 4.5.1 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, April 28, 2024

[DeDragonSlayer]

On a different note, I noticed that amtm displays Access Point (AP) operation mode for my AiMesh and Media Bridge devices.
I dug a bit and found this thread, which seemed to suggest there's more than one nvram variable at play.
Then I checked the nvram values for my devices and I got:

Media Bridge (RT-AC68U, RT-N66U):
sw_mode=3
wlc_psta=1

AiMesh node (RT-AC86U):
sw_mode=3
wlc_psta=2

Main router (RT-AX88U):
sw_mode=1
wlc_psta=0

So i modified locally amtm code with the following snippet:

 OM='Operation Mode:'
                case "$(nvram get sw_mode)" in
                        1) echo " $OM Wireless router";;
                        2) echo " $OM Repeater";;
                        3) case "$(nvram get wlc_psta)" in
                                1) echo " $OM Media Bridge";;
                                2) echo " $OM AiMesh Node";;
                                *) echo " $OM Access Point (AP)";;
                                esac;;
                        4) echo " $OM Media Bridge";;
                        5) echo " $OM AiMesh Node";;
                        *) echo " $OM $(nvram get sw_mode), as-yet-unknown";;
                esac

and it seems to work, at least in my limited scenario. I have no idea if values 4 and 5 for sw_mode are still being used, so I just left them in there.
Hoping this post is useful, but obviously in the low-priority minor improvement suggestion category.

Thanks, I‘ll check that on my routers and implement.

amtm 4.5.1 is now available

What's new in this patch release

• Corrected uiDivStats version number detection.
• Corrected Disk check options to actual number, thanks @jksmurf for reporting.
• Better detection of device operation mode in header, thanks to @DeDragonSlayer for reporting. Note that it is nearly impossible to know the exact mode because of the way it's determined.
• Because of the above, the NVRAM values for sw_mode and wlc_psta are shown in the a about screen.

Seems to work good. I had some weird stuff w/ 4.5 happen like the uiDivStats didn't work then I did a amtm reset and then it seemed to work but then it didn't again and had some weird stuff w disk check too but upgrade seemed to work fine and all looks proper now in both regards (uiDivStats and disk check).
