Help installing on Netgear WAX620

Hello,

I am trying to install openwrt on a Netgear AP WAX 620. I am trying to follow the instructions in this git commit https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=76e419288fc237666faebb6548c2da92468a6133 but I am a bit lost

What does "connect to console" means for a start?

The UART in the link you posted.

Thanks. In english?

That was English :slight_smile:

You need to open it up, to install Openwrt.

I know it was, I just didn't want to face that reality.

Other netgear devices can be installed without opening the case (via nmrpflash or TFTP). Wondering if someone has tried those? Updating from the OEM web interface does not seem to work.

Your search skills are as good as ours...

Cool. Let's give someone else a chance to reply?

Any detail from someone who actually did the procedure would be much appreciated.
