OpenWrt

Using OpenWrt and off the shelf hardware, you can build a PirateBox for as little as US$30.

Hardware

PirateBox 1.0 can be installed on most wireless routers that support OpenWrt and USB 2.0 storage. Our target hardware is the TP-Link MR 3020 and TP-Link MR 3040. Check out the OpenWrt wiki for more info about the MR3020 and MR3040.

For a list of routers that support PirateBox, please check out the OpenWrt hardware table.

Software

There are two ways to install PirateBox 1.0 on your OpenWrt supported device (Auto Install or Manual Install) and both methods are outlined in detail on the OpenWrt DIY page.
