GL.iNet — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the gl-inet-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install gl-inet --cli-only

2. Verify: gl-inet-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails before this CLI has a public-library category, install Node or use the category-specific Go fallback after publish.

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

Save a known-good 'home' config, adjust it at a hotel or abroad, then revert in one command with snapshot save/apply/diff. Get online at a new venue and fix the 'my foreign network is invisible' regulatory-domain problem instantly. Every command probes your exact model and firmware first, so it adapts instead of assuming — and it all runs locally over the router's own API, no GoodCloud.

When to Use This CLI

Use gl-inet for managing a GL.iNet travel router from the terminal or an agent: capturing and reverting config profiles while traveling, getting online at new venues, fixing regulatory-domain repeater problems, diagnosing 'no internet' and weak-uplink situations, and version/model-aware inspection of what a given firmware supports. It is local-only (the router's own API + SSH), with no GoodCloud dependency.

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Travel config profiles

• snapshot save — Capture your whole router config as a named, reusable profile.

  Reach for this when the user wants to bank a known-good config before changing anything on the road.

  gl-inet-pp-cli snapshot save home --agent

• snapshot apply — Restore a saved profile, with a safety check that it matches this device.

  Use to revert cleanly to a standard config without risking a mismatched-device restore.

  gl-inet-pp-cli snapshot apply home --agent

• snapshot diff — See exactly which settings a venue changed vs your standard config.

  Use to answer 'what did this hotel network change?' before reverting.

  gl-inet-pp-cli snapshot diff home --agent

Travel macros

• wifi region diagnose — Find out why a foreign network is invisible and fix the regulatory domain in one command.

  Use when repeater mode can't see a network abroad (e.g. EU 2.4GHz ch12/13 under a US regdomain).

  gl-inet-pp-cli wifi region diagnose --agent

• venue connect — One command to get online at a new venue: scan, region-check, join, and prep for captive portals.

  Use on arrival at a hotel/cafe to skip the multi-step LuCI dance.

  gl-inet-pp-cli venue connect "Hotel WiFi" --agent

• vpn toggle — Start a VPN tunnel, arm the kill-switch, and confirm your public IP actually changed.

  Use to trust that the VPN is really protecting traffic, not just 'connected'.

  gl-inet-pp-cli vpn toggle mullvad --agent

• vpn verify — Verify the VPN is up and your connection isn't leaking: egress country, DNS leaks, and STUN/UDP (WebRTC-style) leaks.

  Use to confirm a VPN is actually protecting all traffic (no IP/DNS/WebRTC leak) before trusting it on an untrusted network.

  gl-inet-pp-cli vpn verify --expect-country US --agent

• wan mode — Switch the router's WAN source and verify it reconnected.

  Use when changing how the router gets upstream internet at a new venue.

  gl-inet-pp-cli wan mode repeater --agent

Diagnostics

• troubleshoot — Diagnose why the router has no internet and get the exact fix command.

  Use first whenever the router is up but there's no internet — most often it's not connected in repeater mode.

  gl-inet-pp-cli troubleshoot --agent

• uplink — Diagnose a weak/slow venue WiFi uplink and get ranked ways to improve it.

  Use when you have internet but it's bad and you want to know whether to move, switch bands, or tether.

  gl-inet-pp-cli uplink --agent

• doctor — Report this router's model, firmware, OpenWrt/LuCI versions, reachable surfaces, and per-feature availability.

  Use to confirm what a given firmware supports before relying on a feature.

  gl-inet-pp-cli doctor --agent

Power-user + config

• config summary — A structured, per-subsystem report of the router's current configuration.

  Use to quickly understand or capture the current state of a router.

  gl-inet-pp-cli config summary --agent

• config find — Find any config option anywhere across the whole router config tree.

  Use to locate where a setting lives when config is spread across dozens of modules.

  gl-inet-pp-cli config find country --agent

• rpc call — Call any GL RPC module/function or any UCI option directly.

  Use as the power-user fallback for anything not covered by a typed command.

  gl-inet-pp-cli rpc call netmode get_mode --agent

Command Reference

clients — Connected client devices

• gl-inet-pp-cli clients — List connected clients (ip, mac, name, tx/rx, online)

snapshots — Named config profiles captured from the router

• gl-inet-pp-cli snapshots — Saved config snapshots (local store)

system — Router system info and live status

• gl-inet-pp-cli system get — Model, firmware, OpenWrt version, hardware/software capability maps
• gl-inet-pp-cli system status — Live CPU, memory, clients, services, WAN/internet state

vpn — VPN tunnels (WireGuard / OpenVPN clients)

• gl-inet-pp-cli vpn — Configured VPN client tunnels and their status

wifi — WiFi radios and SSIDs

• gl-inet-pp-cli wifi — Radio states, channels, bands

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

gl-inet-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.

Recipes

Bank home, travel, revert

gl-inet-pp-cli snapshot save home && gl-inet-pp-cli snapshot diff home && gl-inet-pp-cli snapshot apply home

Capture a known-good profile, see what a venue changed, then revert cleanly.

Get online abroad

gl-inet-pp-cli venue connect "Hotel WiFi"

Scan, region-check, join, and prep for the captive portal in one command.

Fix an invisible foreign network

gl-inet-pp-cli wifi region diagnose --fix

Detects a network hidden by your regulatory domain and switches the region to unhide it.

Why is there no internet?

gl-inet-pp-cli troubleshoot --fix

Walks the connectivity decision tree and applies safe remedies (most often: not joined in repeater mode).

Narrow a verbose status payload for an agent

gl-inet-pp-cli system status --agent --select clients.online,wan.proto,wan.ip,memory.free

Use --select with dotted paths to return only the fields an agent needs from a large status response.

Auth Setup

Authenticates against the router's local admin password via GL's challenge/crypt/sha256 handshake (read from the live challenge, so it works across firmware versions). Config snapshots and UCI access use SSH to the router. No cloud account needed.

Run gl-inet-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.
