Install OpenWRT DD-WRT on Google Wifi

[@mohammadghorbani188]

I really appreciate this video. God bless you!

While trying to install second image, after second SW7 press, the router remains in blinking purple state and it seems installing process stalls. I've tried OpenWrt versions 23.05.02, 23.05.04 ,and 23.05.05. Even though when I try to reinstall chromeos gale stable recovery image it remains in blinking orange stage.

Do you need to do this for access points or how do you connect those to the main wifi

[@Worexon]

Thx for the guide!! It worked 🤝 But testing it out now and I get 40mbit/down 🤔 and up. With my 3 "stock" google wifi /mesh I get 400mbit up and down. I have 600mbit fiber. What setting should I change!?

Very common with OpenWRT, the default router firmware wins in speed every time.

[@wuziq]

probably a dumb question but what do you connect the other side of the ethernet cable to? directly to your computer? to another router?

[@wuziq]

figured it out, just directly to the computer. worked perfectly, thanks!

I realized that in you video also storage space is about 87MB, but it should be 4GB, how to fix that?

[@roglopes.mobile2568]

Can this firmware add repeater mode?

[@FilipeMonzato]

Excellent tutorial, I just lack the courage to carry out this procedure. Have you performed it on other nodes? Were you able to mesh between them? Can you make a video about this?

[@RLR997TT]

OK what is the pw when SSH’ing in?

[@PametniDom]

There is no password. The username is root.

[@esiartwo]

perfect tutorial 🙏🌹

[@ujmix]

i think you forgot to extend the internal storage which is expandable to 4gb

[@BenMDepew]

Alright! it worked! thanks!

[@timburdett1]

Any idea why my process might not have worked? I am at the end after booting to the wrt flash drive and to login to it with "root" & left blank. So I can not copy and then Wright the needed files to flash the device.

Dude thank you so much, no offense to who wrote the wiki page but the steps make no sense.
