Topic: Please recommend me a router with more than 2GB and supports OpenWRT

Hello,

I'm looking for a router with the following requirements:
1. support Wireless LAN
2. support OpenWrt
3. has enough store space to run my programs on it. 2GB would be enough but 4GB might be better. I have a router but it doesn't have enough place to install SNMP.

Please recommend me a router like this, a second hand router would be also ok.

Many Thanks!

Every router that has at least 1x USB2.0, where you can plug in a USB drive (with practically unlimited GB) in order to extroot your router.

If you don't like extroot:

However, none of them is listed as supported...

Thanks very much for reply.

Now I have searched on eBay, and I found this router, it's about 21,- €. But I can't find USB Slot or FlashMB device on its official description. However, this device is on the supported device list of openwrt

I want to ask: How to install openwrt on this device? How do I know the size of its Flash?

Best regards.

There's also TL-WR842N, I personally use it

you asked for an elephant but then you choose an ant

this is 4m flash, 32m RAM and no usb but you can mod it
