Go to the OpenWRT firmware selector. Select your device. Download the “factory” firmware and install it to your router as described on the device's OpenWRT wiki page. (e.g. https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/edgerouter_x_er-x_ka)

1. Go to the OpenWRT firmware selector.
2. Select your device.
3. Click on “Customize installed packages and/or first boot script”.
4. Add the following packages to the list

curl mtr iperf3 tcpdump olsrd olsrd-mod-jsoninfo luci-app-olsr ethtool ipip kmod-ipip

1. Copy the following script and paste it to “Script to run on first boot (uci-defaults)” on the image builder website
2. Replace xxx in the first line with your location's name
3. (optional) change LAN_IP and LAN_NET

The script contains some default values that make configuration easier.

1. Example:

1. Click on “Request Build” and wait for the build to complete.
2. Download the newly built custom sysupgrade image
   1. 
3. Log in to your router using the web interface (http://192.168.1.1)
4. Go to “System→Backup/Flash Firmware”
5. Click on “Flash image” and select your newly downloaded sysupgrade image.
6. Untick the box “Keep settings and retain the current configuration”
7. Click “Continue”

1. Note: if you can't log into the web interface, you can use “WinSCP” to upload the firmware
   1. upload the firmware 'openwrt-25.12.4-a89c348c9670-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin' to /tmp folder
   2. SSH to the router (e.g., Putty)
      1. Flash the firmware with the following command

      2.  sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/openwrt-25.12.4-a89c348c9670-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin 

   3. Once flashing finished, you can log into the web interface (http://192.168.10.1)

After the installation has completed the router should be reachable by connecting to its LAN port using the configured LAN_IP (192.168.10.1 as default). The web interface can be accessed using a browser, e.g. at http://192.168.10.1/. The web interface redirects to the olsr status page by default e.g. to http://192.168.10.1/cgi-bin/luci/. In order to access the admin interface, admin has to be appended to the URL: http://192.168.10.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin The default password is empty

1. Click on 'Network→Interfaces'
   1. Add a new Network
      1. Name: The name of the remote location [any name, for example 'ffste87']
      2. Protocol: Static address
      3. Device: choose the port you want to use for the new connection
         1. Ethernet Adapter“wan” (ffste87“) [this is the port you connect to the antenna]
            1. 
      4. Set the IP address according to the Manman database
         1. https://manman.ffgraz.net/
         2. for example:
            1. IP: 10.12.xxx.145
            2. Netmask: 255.255.255.252
            3. at the IpV4 address, input “10.12.xxx.145/30” [/30 is the netmask .252]
   2. 
2. Click on 'Services→OLSR IPv4'
   1. Add a new interface
      1. Set Network to the network added in the previous step
         1. in this example, the network is “ffste87”
      2. Click Save
         1. 
3. Go to the tab HNA Announcements [Services→OLSR IPv4→HNA Announcements]
   1. Add a new announcement
      1. Set the network address and netmask according to the network in Manman https://manman.ffgraz.net/
         1. Network address: 10.12.xxx.144 [note! not 145, but 144]
         2. Netmask: 255.255.255.252
   2. Click Save and Apply
4. Go to 'Network → Firewall'
   1. click 'Edit' at the 1st row “ff”
      1. General setttings → covered networks → select “ffste87” [the network name you set before]
      2. Allow forwad from source zones: free, lan
         1. 
      3. Click 'save and apply'
5. If everything setup correctly, open http://192.168.10.1/cgi-bin/luci/, you shall see it like this
   1. 

1. Open software “WinSCP”, connect to the router [192.168.10.1] by scp
   1. 
   2. enter the folder /etc/config/
   3. edit the file 'olsrd', replace the content with the following text

      1. config olsrd
         
         config LoadPlugin
         	option library 'olsrd_arprefresh.so.0.1'
         
         config LoadPlugin
         	option library 'olsrd_dyn_gw.so.0.5'
         
         config LoadPlugin
         	option library 'olsrd_httpinfo.so.0.1'
         	option port '1978'
         	list Net '0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0'
         
         config LoadPlugin
         	option library 'olsrd_nameservice.so.0.4'
         
         config LoadPlugin
         	option library 'olsrd_jsoninfo'
         	option accept '0.0.0.0'
         	option ignore '0'
         
         config procd 'procd'
         	option respawn_threshold '3600'
         	option respawn_timeout '15'
         	option respawn_retry '0'
         
         config InterfaceDefaults
         	option Mode 'ether'
         	option Ip4Broadcast '255.255.255.255'
         
         config Interface
         	option ignore '0'
         	option interface 'ffste87 [!!! *************** replace this to your network name!!! *****************]'
         
         config Hna4
         	option netaddr '10.12.!!!**************xxx use your ip*******************!!!.144'
         	option netmask '255.255.255.252' 

2. Go back to the router web interface http://192.168.10.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin
   1. 'Services → OLSR IPv4 → Interface', now you shall have this additional interface named 'ffste87'
      1. 

1. Go to 'Network → Wireless'
   1. In this example, the WiFi was set to 'SSID: ST8'
   2. 
   3. Click 'Edit → Interface Configuration → General Setup'
      1. ESSID: any name for your WiFi, here it is 'ST8'
      2. Network: use the network you set before, here it is 'ffste87'
         1. 
      3. To set the password of the wifi, click 'Interface Configuration → Wireless Security'
         1. Encryption: anyone you like
         2. Key: this is your wifi password
         3. 
      4. Click 'Save & Apply'
      5. Connect to the WiFi with your mobile device, it should work now.
