How do I preview the admin GUI of OpenWRT?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello Friends and Developers of OpenWRT,
I want to preview the admin GUI of OpenWRT, for example, its file server function, printer server function, and over all.

I want to check whether it is good enough. :slightly_smiling_face:

Install the appropriate packages and have fun?

Of course, the specific ones to the test you wish to perform.

3

Install openwrt into a virtual machine. Or use a usb stick to boot an x86 computer with openwrt.

These features are not included in the standard image, but can be added easily.

Will I be able to reverse the firmware to the router's factory default?

Usually, depends on the device.

As someone suggested, boot Openwrt off a flash drive on a computer.

Are the OpenWRT images ARM32 or 64 bit architect?
Will OpenWRT image work inside a VMWare Player?

All of these things are easily answered by search. Have you tried Google or the forum search???

Instructions should be similar (but adaptable) from the VirtualBox Wiki.
