Some thoughts for later use.

David told us to go forward over a year ago and I’ve stuck with this since it arrived.

Straight forward how-to and a great video step by step process on how to build yourself.

I’ve got pretty well exactly what I use, no bloat, secure! plug n play.

A really good jump in if you’re considering a “roll your own” on this platform.

See: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/quickstart-build-images 14

I noticed many people asking about Davidc502's firmware and todates firmware using same Software that Davidc502 put into his.

Some of you might benefit from using ImageBuilder, but before you do that.. Log into your Router.

ssh -l root 192.168.1.1

Then enter below command. This will give you a current list of all packages installed.

echo $(opkg list_installed | awk '{ print $1 }')

the bottom 2 commands, one or the other will work, but they give you a standard line by line list. Really not needed for imagebuilder.

# ls /overlay/upper/usr/lib/opkg/info/*.list | sed -e 's/.*\///' | sed -e 's/\.list//'
ls /usr/lib/opkg/info/*.list | sed -e 's/.*\///' | sed -e 's/\.list//'

Then when you have your list, comb through it, remove unneeded stuff and shorten the version string packages to just the package name or you will run into future issues if you are to do this again.

Make sure you have latest imagebuilder for your Router.
