DD-WRT is an open-source router firmware that offers advanced features and customization options. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing DD-WRT on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Visit the DD-WRT website at https://dd-wrt.com/ and navigate to the "Router Database" page. Search for your router model and download the firmware.
Connect your computer to the router using an Ethernet cable. Make sure both are powered on.
Open a terminal and enter the following command to configure your network connection:
sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
Replace "eth0" with your Ethernet interface name, and "192.168.1.2" with an IP address that is within the same range as your router's IP address.
Open a web browser and enter your router's IP address in the address bar. Log in to your router's web interface using your credentials.
Navigate to the firmware upgrade section of your router's web interface. Select the DD-WRT firmware you downloaded in Step 1 and click "Upgrade."
Wait for the firmware upgrade to complete, and do not power off your router during this time.
Once the firmware upgrade is complete, navigate to the DD-WRT web interface and configure your settings as desired.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed DD-WRT on Ubuntu Server Latest!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
