Hello,

I recently picked up an E800 Linksys router for $12 and would like to install Openwrt on this router.
According to DD-wrt (https://dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php … 4f50ae2d1e), The E800 linksys router is identical to the E900 router, hardware wise.

Openwrt support E900 but not E800.

I would like some guidance ( files to edit ), required to allow Openwrt to be install on the E800 router.

Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong,

I believe what I can do it copy any lines pertaining the words "E900" and change it to "E800"

I looked over the patch: http://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/2907 and it was essentially what needed to be done

Sort of. As long as the default firmware doesn't check anything else before allowing you to flash it.

The discussion might have continued from here.
