Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hello, I'm trying to install OpenWrt on my Dynalink dl-wrx36 I followed the instructions located here:

https://openwrt.org/toh/dynalink/dl-wrx36

Downloaded the "Firmware OpenWrt Install" which is Factory image

I checked the checksums of the file and it's the same as found here:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.2/targets/ipq807x/generic/

I have my computer device connected via Ethernet cable (no other device connected via LAN or WIFI)

logged into the router portal, went into "system Settings" > Firmware > Upgrade Manually > added the file I downloaded from [Factory image] destination and was hit with this error:

The Wiki article never suggests you can upload the firmware through the router GUI. You have to use a USB stick. Re-read that page again, please.

I don't understand, i overlooked the USB/SSH portion. got to the forum found that post by the S7venLights and followed it. no issues, i was trying to upload the software directly through the OEM software as i saw on other videos (using different products)

ok
you overlooked everything, yet you had "followed the instructions".

you could have soft bricked it, that would probably been an issue ...
