Flashing
![]() | NOTE: During configuration or flashing a device, the only things that should be hooked to the device is the computer and power. |
Flashing dd-wrt
Please insert instructions here
Flashing OpenWrt
![]() | Devices with Broadcom WiFi chipsets have limited OpenWrt supportability (due to limited FLOSS driver availability for Broadcom chips). Consider this when choosing a device to buy, or when deciding to flash OpenWrt on your device because it is listed as supported. See Broadcom WiFi for details. |
