I have installed openwrt on a pc and on fry's fr54rtr (aka d-link dir-300) router. Very interesting. Instructables like this help a lot.

This is great, been trying to get OpenWRT on my fon Movimiento without success, until this Instructables. Thanks. Just one "change", I had to edit: sudo ./easyflash eth0 openwrt-atheros-2.6-root.jffs2-64k openwrt-atheros-2.6-vmlinux.gz to sudo ./easyflash eth0 openwrt-atheros-root.jffs2-64k openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.gz in the flash file Thanks again.

Glad I could help, and glad you could help with that small error I had in the flash file. I originally had that file set up for flashing R.O.B.I.N. mesh firmware to them and forgot to modify it for openwrt. It is fixed now. Good catch!
