+ | ===== Upgrade PirateBox older than 1.0.0 ===== | ||
+ | If you're currently running an older version of PirateBox on your router, these instructions should get you up and running in a flash (literally!). **Please Note:** The instructions below are specifically for the TP-Link MR3020, WR703N, and MR3040. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>1.</b></span></html> First download a copy of **[[http://stable.openwrt.piratebox.de/auto/install_piratebox.zip|install_piratebox.zip]]** and a customized copy of OpenWrt for the MR3020, WR703N or MR3040 to your computer from: http://stable.openwrt.piratebox.de/auto (be sure to download the **"*squashfs-factory.bin"** file that corresponds with your specific device). **Be sure** to use one image from our served files, because they are customized to work together with the install.zip. __ If you use a different image-file, you won't be able to use this automatic installation__! | ||
+ | |||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>2.</b></span></html> Extract the **install_piratebox.zip** file and drag the "install" folder over to your USB flash drive. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>3.</b></span></html> Drag the **"*squashfs-factory.bin"** to your USB flash drive (you don't need to extract this file first!). | ||
+ | |||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>4.</b></span></html> Now SAFELY REMOVE your USB drive from your computer and plug the USB stick into your OpenWrt router. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>5.</b></span></html> Set the toggle switch located beside the LAN/WAN port on the router to **3G mode**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>6.</b></span></html> Connect the router via ethernet cable to your computer and power up the router. Once the router is running, open a terminal window (for OS X, go to Applications > Utilities > Terminal; for Windows, install and open [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/|PuTTY]]) and log in with ssh: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ssh root@192.168.1.1 | ||
+ | | ||
+ | **Note:** If you haven't set up a password yet, use the telnet command instead of ssh: | ||
+ | | ||
+ | telnet 192.168.1.1 | ||
+ | |||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>7.</b></span></html> Navigate to the /mnt/usb directory: | ||
+ | | ||
+ | cd /mnt/usb | ||
+ | |||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>8.</b></span></html> Install the customized version of OpenWrt and PirateBox 1.0 with: | ||
+ | |||
+ | mtd write -r openwrt<TAB> firmware | ||
+ | | ||
+ | **Note:** Use your "tab" key at the end of "openwrt" to autocomplete the full file name of the firmware. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>9.</b></span></html> After the upgrade completes, the router will restart. **Note:** You should wait 15-20 minutes for the installation to complete (depending upon your USB flash drive, it may take up to 45 minutes - be patient!). Your device will reboot a couple of times during the installation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>10.</b></span></html> Once the installation is complete, telnet to the device: | ||
+ | |||
+ | telnet 192.168.1.1 | ||
+ | |||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>11.</b></span></html> Use the passwd command to set your login password – this will enable SSH: | ||
+ | |||
+ | passwd | ||
+ | |||
+ | <html><span style="font-size:125%;"><b>12.</b></span></html> You're now ready to activate the Kareha Image and Discussion Board and the UPnP server. See the **[[openwrt:diy#Post-Installation]]** instructions below for details. | ||
