Entware install with Voxel's V1.0.2.59SF firmware

HI all,

I'm really new to this and need some help.  I've flashed my R7800 with the Voxel's  V1.0.2.59SF firmware, I've set up SSH and it's all fine. I've now tried to setup Entware. I've followed the guide. I've formatted a USB stick as EXT2. I've untarred the entware-cortexa15-3x-initial.tar.gz on to it and then rebooted the router.

My stick is seen as /mnt/sda5 - does that matter? , the guide refers to sda1.

Once the router has rebooted I tried the ls - l /opt* command, but the directory doesn't exist.

What I'm doing wrong please. I'm trying to get OpenVPN on the router so that I can run NordVPN.

 

Any help and advice will be much appreciated

 

Thanks, Nick.

There is no need to install

There is no need to install ssh or entware to use the openvpn-client.
Read Voxels documentation and you can see that you just have to put 2 files on a USB-device and the insert it in the router.

Also look here for more help:

PS
It shall be "ls -l /opt*", without space between "-" and "l".

Thanks Kamoj,

Thanks Kamoj,

I'll check out the link, but I would still like to understand where I'm going wrong with the entware install.  " ls -l /opt* " says there's no such directory.

Thanks.

Try to:

Try to:

1. Upgrade to 1.0.2.60SF (1.0.2.59SF is not quite good: Wi-Fi dropouts as a result of problem in the stock 1.0.2.58).

2. Make your /opt manually: telnet to router; and run

mkdir /opt

and reboot.

P.S. Some countries block NG cloud site updates1.netgear.com. The last is a source of ReadyCLOUD installation which should create the directory /opt. But seems not in your case. Just for statistics please pass me info what is your country in P.M.
