Aruba AP-303H filesystem size

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello,

Any one aware what is the disk size on AP-303H running openwrt firmware?
https://openwrt.org/toh/aruba/ap-303h shows Flash MB as 128NAND. Does that mean it overall get 128 MB?

Is expand root filesystem as per https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/advanced/expand_root applicable for AP-303H ?

Reason I am asking for this is, I would like to know if it got enough free space to run additional softwares like wireguard server?

Thanks.

No it's the flash chip size.
You could try to figure out the flash space you'll get by reading the flash layout chapter on the page you linked to, seems Openwrt is written to mtd16.

Read the flash size note at https://openwrt.org/toh/start

It'll probably fit WG.

Does that mean, it only got a flash chip and that is where whole openwrt firmware and other softwares we install go?

Where else would you store additional sw ?

5

It got a usb port, any chance we can connect an external USB drive to it and make it use to install softwares on it?

Yes, it's doable - https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/extroot_configuration

'Doable', but pretty cumbersome and inconvenient when it comes to (sys)upgrades. I wouldn't recommend extroot, these days you can usually get devices with 'sufficient' amounts of flash/ RAM which don't require weird hacks to function.
