-FIXME Please add the installation procedure here.+Flashing OpwnWrt firmware is relatively straightforward. All you have to do is to access the GUI page (192.68.0.254) of the device via Ethernet or Wifi, navigate to 'System Tools' > 'Firmware Upgrade', upload your OpenWrt installation image and click 'Upgrade'
