Topic: HOW TO INSTALL OPENWRT to the AirLive WLA 5000AP

The content of this topic has been archived on 30 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi,
I have WLA 5000AP.
I bought it because I want to use for home automation (it has seria port connectorl).
In documentation there is that  I can install OPENWRT.
http://openwrt.dlabac.net/Archiv/openwr … ge.www.bin

But this file does not exist. I am not able to find out which version of OPENWRT I should use.
Please can you help me?
I would like just to download an image to the router, not to compile it.

Thank you for any help.

Regards,

Jirii

I have dowloaded http://download.openwrt.net/atheros/bin … s2-64k.bin
I was able to flash this via web interface.
Now I can ssh to router, but there is no web interface nor nvram command.
I am new in openwrt, so I do not know how to fix this and/or how to add WebIF.
can you please help me?

Hey js2002. Could you provide more info about porting OpenWRT on your device? What is your progress?

The discussion might have continued from here.
