Hi

I bought a NEXX WT3020F in gearbest.com/networking-communication/pp_270587.html
and I installed openWrt following the instructions in wiki.openwrt.org/toh/nexx/wt3020#installation -> Flash firmware

After that I get that:

ssh root@192.168.1.1
root@192.168.1.1's password:

Where is the 8MB of space?

did Gearbest give me a WT3020A instead a WT3020F?

You have 2.3 MB used by the rootfs (mounted on /rom), plus 4.4 MB for the overlay - what you don't see (as it's not a mountable filesystem) is another ~1.3-1.5 MB for the kernel; which (also counting the space needed for bootloader, calibration data, etc.) amounts to 8 MB.

For a better understanding of what is stored where, see the examples on this page:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/fl … _the_flash

And specifically for WT3020:

Thanks a lot.

What I really am trying to do is that: medium.com/@tomac/a-15-openwrt-based-diy-pen-test-dropbox-26a98a5fa5e5

But I don't have enough space to complete the installation of ettercap-ng , reaver, tcpdump, urlsnarf, ettercap, nmap , mdk3.

It is because of that I thought my WT3020F had less space than it should have.

Are there any files I could remove in order to gaim free space?

Yes, I'd start with removing ettercap-ng, reaver, tcpdump, urlsnarf, ettercap, nmap and mdk3.

(this may sound snarky, but 8 MB really isn't a whole lot - sufficient for what you'd usually call a full featured router, but you're looking at packages which are more likely to be found on development desktops)

See the following pages on what to do when you need more space:

https://lede-project.org/faq/after_inst … _on_device
https://lede-project.org/faq/before_ins … save_space

If you need *really much* space, try extroot.
Or w/o extroot: Install your packages to external USB memory.

usb expansion worked like a charm for me.  had to revert all the way back to 15.x to get it working though. and, since 15.x failsafe is broken for wt3020, usb acts like a failsafe.  if you ever bork your setup, just pull the stick out and you'll revert to the onboard settings.

this link was pretty helpful for 15.x securenetworkmanagement.com/nexx-3020h-dropbox/ (can't link yet)

would love to get usb extension working on lede 17.x though
