Installing OpenWrt on the CPE830
Installation on this device is rated moderate. Expect to use a recovery mode, TFTP or a vendor tool rather than a plain web upload. Documented methods: U-Boot TFTP + serial recovery, see git-commit.
See git commit https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=df222e57be467eb85e77f4f569e169d471c8ba54 for installation instructions.
Flashing third-party firmware can brick a router and usually voids the warranty. Always check that the firmware image matches your exact hardware version.
