WiFi status after flashing

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi all

I am currently compiling OpenWrt v19.07.9 in the following configuration:

Target System: MediaTek Ralink MIPS
Subtarget: MT76x8 based boards
Target Profile: Default Profile

Packages added:

Base system > *'wireless-tools'
Network > wireless > *'aircrack-ng'
Network > wireless > *'Optimize for speed'
Utilities > Editors > *'nano'

I am hoping I will be able to leave the router where it is after flashing and not have to move it to my computer to connect to it via a wired connection, so I am wondering if a freshly flashed device will be providing wireless access?

no, it won't by default.

if you make your own images, you can add the config, enabling wifi from 1st start.

Is it possible to modify a file before compiling so that a wireless access point will be available after flashing?
