Installing OpenWrt on the WR512 3GN
Installation on this device is rated moderate. Expect to use a recovery mode, TFTP or a vendor tool rather than a plain web upload.
Chose OpenWrt image according your flash size (4 or 8MB).
Flashing third-party firmware can brick a router and usually voids the warranty. Always check that the firmware image matches your exact hardware version.
