UDP Timeout and MyQ Internet Gateway

[beingageek]

Hi Everyone,

Ever since I got the Almond+, I've had issues with my myq internet gateway that allows me to open and close my garage doors over the internet. It's been suggested by support to adjust the udp timeout on the router, but I tried looking in both the almond and openwrt interfaces and can't locate the setting, does anyone know what the best course of action is or where this is located?

Hi there...

Well there is no WEB UI to edit connection time out, so you have to use the Almond plus command prompt to edit it.
Use ssh for remote command-line login to your Almond plus and use following commands-

sysctl -w net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_udp_timeout=180

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Timeout setting needs to be set to 180 seconds or greater for your purpose.

Note:- This is not a permanent solution because whenever you reboot Almond plus it will change to its default value. So after reboot, you have to change it again. There is a permanent solution for this, if you know about the VI editor than I can show you how to make it permanent.

Thanks so much for your reply!! I am very comfortable using emacs or vi, so if you could show me how to set it permanently, that would be awesome.

Use ssh for remote command-line login to your Almond plus and use following commands-

vi /almond/launch
Add sysctl -w net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_udp_timeout=180 command in that file then Save it and reboot it
it will work fine...
