How to install openwrt on D-link Dir-3040

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I can't find clear instructions on how to install openwrt on D-link Dir-3040.
The wiki only say "gui install" but no instructions.

Could someone give me the instructions. I don't want to get a bricked router.

Thanks

The directions are here:

You'll almost certainly want the 'factory' image:

(and it goes without saying that you should only use this process/file if you have an A1 version of the device.)

on the first link, I got "404 - No such project"

on the second link, there are three options
Sysupgrade
Recovery
Kernel

Which one should I use, the Kernel option? It says "Linux kernel with minimal file system. Useful for first installation or recovery"

Do I get the LuCi interface with this kernel option?

odd... trying the link again

This should be the file since you'll be using the "recovery" functionality in the router's bootloader.

A while ago the forum started breaking git links, you need to post them specifically as an URL...

The new link works. I will proceed.
