It appears OpenWRT needs to be loaded from a Linux box at least on first reading that is how it appears. Also the Meraki instructions to me are not as clear as if I went with DD-WRT. The Meraki units need a TFTP server/client setup with an static IP address. Meraki really wanted to make it hard to change things on the “free” units. Since the Meraki unit I have is not yet supported…Not like the Linksys devices which will allow you to grab any BIN to flash when you told it where to look. Since I have a very old WRT54G that I retired after it stopped passing packs from inside to outside I will try flashing that unit with DD-WRT and see if it starts working again.

But which build is the question. I would have to do a little more research to find the model number for the “free” one I have but has anyone used build 6999 20070508 on it? Thank you!
