Welcome to the rt-n56u padavan-ng project (XRMWRT, based on stock Asus firmware for the RT-N56U, not OpenWrt) - open-source embedded operating systems based on Linux. You can build your own firmware for home Wi-Fi router from source with ENTWARE package manager (need insert USB flash drive).
This project aims to improve the rt-n56u and other supported devices on the software part, allowing power user to take full control over their hardware. This project was created in hope to be useful, but comes without warranty or support. Installing it will probably void your warranty. Contributors of this project are not responsible for what happens next.
- Get the tools to build the system
- Feed the device with the system image file (Follow instructions of updating your current system)
- Perform factory reset
- Open web browser on http://my.router or http://192.168.1.1 to configure the services
Text based interactive configrator for rt-n56u project (padavan-ng). Alternative easy and fast way requiring fewer skills with configuration, firmware and backup management. Support English, Russian, Espanol and Simplified Chinese languages.
