well fairly this script is not working for my 1043nd v2
it says connecting to...
Updating adblocker FAILED!
witch lead me to the clue either curl is not working or something else, i just cant find where it dl the stuff
what is the difference in using this method vs. using a pihole as DNS server? PiHole would be better to configure, as new lists can be added easily, are there other differences? Is the method used the same - DNS blocking on both?

hmmm i don't have a pi but i do use an this ad-block script as long as it does the job, on pi you might have better options for it, also there are some other ad-blocking scripts for ddwrt routers that are more advanced...
as far efficiency is concerned, those are host lists based scripts...blocking works only if you use the local DNS, if you use unbound, DoH or DoT it wont work i guess...
so if you can do it on Pi hole instead you may be more efficient...the other question is if this will hit speed performance instead... _________________ Atheros

I use this script above running as a cron job. What I like about this host file, its a collection of multiple host files from various contributors with Steven Black Host file leading the way.
https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
its currently blocking 39k addresses..
This script has been running fine for me for six months now.
I just upgraded my router to v3.0-r43420 std (06/15/20)
Now, that command line fails. I get the error "Illegal instruction".
I've run that single line pipe by pipe, and it doesn't fail until the "sort -u >/tmp/hosts1" command.
I removed the "sort -u" and sent the output up until then directly to hosts1. That script runs. But the hosts0 file is significantly larger because of duplicates.

Thoughts?
That hosts file has no duplicates so not sure which url/s you are curling. Replace the sort with:
