Revive an old Neufbox 6 with OpenWrt
While this article might only have interest for french people, you might want to get yourself an inexpensive Neufbox 6 on eBay or the like to play with it, thus the english language.
When I lived in France, my last Internet provider was SFR, it was (and still is) a fiber provider, and you got connected thanks to a box called the “Neufbox”. There were a couple of versions of this box that was pretty hackable and the provider was cool with it, you could even flash it with “opened” versions of their firmware, a modified OpenWrt.
At that time, there was an amazing website called OpenBox4 now closed and only browsable thanks to web archive (donate to them!), that gave all the informations needed to take control of your Neufbox. But as it is closed now, I’ll try to put the needed pieces here in order to revive this great router with a brand new OpenWrt 19.07.
