Entware es un repositorio de software que nos va a permitir la instalación de diferentes programas en nuestro router. Puede echar un vistazo a sus repositorio en el siguiente enlace

La instalación la realizare sobre un router con firmware Merlin, ya que este proporciona un script de instalación para Entware que facilita mucho la labor, en caso de que no tengas instalado Merlin puedes seguir las instrucciones que facilitan en el siguiente enlace https://github.com/Entware/Entware/wiki/Install-on-Asus-stock-firmware

Requisitos

• Es necesario tener conectado un disco USB en el router formateado con ext2 o ext3
• Si has instalado Download Manager, debes de desinstalarlo y reiniciar el router

Instalación

Deberemos acceder mediante SSH al router, la instalación es muy sencilla, basta con ejecutar el sccript entware-setup.sh

user@RT-AC68U-E358:/tmp/home/root# entware-setup.sh

Info:  This script will guide you through the Entware installation.

 Info:  Script modifies "entware" folder only on the chosen drive,

 Info:  no other data will be changed. Existing installation will be

 Info:  replaced with this one. Also some start scripts will be installed,

 Info:  the old ones will be saved on Entware partition with name

 Info:  like /tmp/mnt/sda1/jffs_scripts_backup.tgz

En el caso de tener varios dispositivos discos USB conectados al router, nos preguntara en cual de los dos vamos a realizar la instalación de Enteware

Con esto ya hemos terminado, veamos como empezar a utilizar Entware.

Uso

La herramienta para manejar los paquetes en Entware es opkg. Te dejo unos ejemplos de su uso:

• opkg list lista todos los paquetes disponibles para instalar
• opkg install nombre_software instala el paquete nombresoftware
• opkg remove software_name borra el paquete nombresoftware

Tambión te dejo todas sus opciones de uso
