hi, is there any way to backup the entire firmware with installed packages?
i installed some packages like luci app nft qos, luci app nlbw, adblock... but when i reset the router these packages are gone and i have to install these again.
i want to backup my current firmware with all avaiable installed packages. 
You can use the Firmware Selector to generate an image including all desired packages.
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org
When using that image, a resetting of the router will no longer delete those packages.

how can i write the packages i want in firmware selector?
for example, i want luci, luci app nft qos, and argon theme.
how can i enter these package in firmware selector?for example i just write 'luci app nft qos ' like this?
Just write the packages you want after the default packages. Like this:
Ignore the packages listed, they differ from model to model. I added LuCI, for example.
In your case, just write the package names with a spacebar in between.

thank you so much
Additionnal infos/tips :
- copy the text for the next time you will want to create an image. You will only need to paste the text.
- Generating an image which already includes all the packages you need is more efficient (from a memory space point of view) than adding manually each packages. So enjoy using the firmware selector.
