Hello friend, I'm new to both Linux and OpenWRT.

I have TP-Link WR841n v11 and since it's not officially supported, I use this custom bin file from this thread :

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=63657

I cannot access LuCi after I upgrade from stock firmware to OpenWRT even though OP said it came with LuCi. So I just run

opkg update

. However it gave me this error :

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg update

 * opkg_download: Failed to download http://volatilesystems.org/dl/openwrt/chaos_calmer/latest/ar71xx/packages//Packages.sig, wget returned 1.

And when I tried

/etc/opkg.conf

It gave me

Permission denied

error

Any idea why?

That file doesn't exist.
Looking at that site you probably need to change the url to http://volatilesystems.org/dl/openwrt/1 … /packages/ in opkg.conf. (Alhough 'latest' is a volatile word. You'd probably better pick one of the supplied version numbers)

It's a configuration file, not an executable. So you can't execute it. If you want to edit it, execute

vi /etc/opkg.conf

(And google for a manual for vi. It's a nasty editor.)
