What is OpenWRT?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenWrt is an open-source project for embedded operating systems based on Linux, primarily used on embedded devices to route network traffic. The main components are Linux, util-linux, musl, and BusyBox. All components have been optimized to be small enough to fit into the limited storage and memory available in home routers. - en.wikipedia.o...

02. Click Shell in the left sub-navigation
03. Run the following commands in the terminal
lookup the latest stable version number
regex='≪strong≫Current Stable Release - OpenWrt ([^/]*)≪\/strong≫' && response=$(curl -s openwrt.org) && [[ $response =~ $regex ]] && stableVersion="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
download openwrt image
wget -O openwrt.img.gz downloads.open...
extract the openwrt img
gunzip ./openwrt.img.gz
rename the extracted img
mv ./openwrt*.img ./openwrt.raw
increase the raw disk to 512 MB
qemu-img resize -f raw ./openwrt.raw 512M
import the disk to the openwrt vm
update the vm id and storage device as needed
usage: qm importdisk
qm importdisk 123 openwrt.raw HDD_500GB
04. Once the disk import completes, select the OpenWRT VM from the left navigation menu ≫ Hardware
05. Double click the Unused Disk ≫ Click the Add button
06. Select Options from the left sub-navigation menu
07. Double click Boot Order
08. Check the Enabled box next to the hard disk

restart network services
service network restart
update openwrt packages

Brilliant - probably the best tutorial Ive ever seen!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for the comment!
Except for the music, that was very loud and distracting.
Thanks for the feedback. I've adjusted the levels in newer videos, but YT doesn't allow modifying existing ones
@@i12bretro I understand. Great work!
This is a fantastic guide! Liked and subscribed.
Thank you for the comment. Glad it was helpful
Thank you, really helpful video.
You're welcome, thanks for the comment
Very nice tutorial though you've used the same network bridge for WAN and LAN
Excellent instructions that worked perfectly for me. Any chance you have something similar for upgrading?
Glad to hear it. I do not, but I will make a note to investigate upgrading
very nice and working explanation , danke ihn
Thanks
Great video, really good job
Thank you!
I am running ProxMox on an Intel NUC that shows this as part of my lspci output:
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)
Have you ever experimented with trying to configure a ProxMox VM running OpenWRT to use ProxMox pass-through to deliver a WiFi adapter to OpenWRT whereby OpenWRT could thereafter configure and leverage it?
I have but i wasn't successful. I think the hardware has to be capable of AP mode and my pcie wifi card wasn't
Is the music a key requirement for this video!?
😃Thanks
Welcome! Thanks for the comment
thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi sorry what is that HDD-500gb, do i need to create one?
That's the name of my storage device. You'll replace it with the name of the storage device you want to use for the VM
How to setup pppoe?
i like your voice :D
Ha, by far my least favorite part of making videos. Thanks for the comment
Can I create a real wifi network with it?
You can if you pass real wifi hardware to it that's capable of it
Na melhor parte o vídeo acabou... Rs.
Damn, that background music is sooo annoying!
Ask
Make free wifi acces with openWrt like as cafe resto and bar
Without user password and wpa key
So connect ssid then web portal klick access internet
I've never tried it, but this should get you started openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/captive-portal/start
