flashing with out ftdi cable
Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2010 8:04 pm
i would like to try to install openwrt on the router without a serial interface. I am not sure if its a wise idea.
I have read the instructions, and i think i can flash the router successfully with out any visual. But the query/issue comes in when i want to ssh into the router. I am planning to use "The easy way:" by downloading the precompiled image Jeff made http://mightyohm.com/blog/2008/11/build ... g-openwrt/. I am not sure of the root password, but i read on http://www.gumbolabs.org/2009/10/08/hac ... w-openwrt/ that the default root password is possibly "root". Can any one confirm this?
I actually am planning to use the router as a router, and not as a client as the radio project does, i plan to have router be the dhcp server, online music player (wired radio player), firewall, asterisk server and others. Internet will be supplied to it via the ethernet (lan) cable, hopefully all i need to do is plug it into the wan port. Can somone advise me on this please? There is a part "Configuring OpenWRT:" on http://mightyohm.com/blog/2008/11/build ... g-openwrt/ and it requires me to have ssh to do the configurations so i am not sure about how to go about ssh-ing into the router after blindly flashing with http://mightyohm.com/files/kamikaze-2.4 ... uashfs.trx and no other configurations. Say i only had the router and my laptop, could i connect my ethernet cable to lan 1 of the router and the other end to my laptop, then ssh from my laptop into 192.168.1.1 (the router)? Has any one tried this before?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks guys
