I recently flashed my WRT-160nl to OpenWrt from ddwrt. I installed the above version and was wondering how to install packages. The router can't access the internet and everything I've tried so far has failed. I have tried the instructions here https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=147390
and https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=23336

I also tried the DumbAP from the wiki. I'm sure it is an error on my part and that I'm not configuring something correctly. Could someone provide an example of what the configs should look like or maybe offer suggestions? Thanks

very simple how you can do ...

for example you have Windows Based PC    192.168.1.150  (make it manual)
Wifi-router  192.168.1.2

you can setup on windows computer http proxy server
http://www.privoxy.org/   

http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/config.html   

modify for in privoxy config
listen-address  192.168.1.150:8118

As result you got web proxy ..

on your wifi router make this way:

# export http_proxy="http://192.168.1.150:8118"
# opkg update
# opkg  install what_you_need

I have the proxy setup and working with the above configuration. When I enter the proxy into Firefox, everything works as it should. OpenWrt still can't see my connection in Putty though. Any help is appreciated.
