1. Install a current snapshot of OpenWrt http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3420-v2-squashfs-factory.bin Telnet to the device on 192.168.1.1 and set the root password with # passwd Login in with ssh and edit /etc/config/network lan section to set up network gateway and DNS For example, if the LAN gateway is on 192.168.1.254 config interface 'lan' option type 'bridge' option ifname 'eth0' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '19.168.1.1' option netmask '255.255.255.0' option gateway '192.168.1.254' option dns '8.8.8.8' Reboot and check that the device can access the internet eg # ping www.google.com 2. Add extra packages # opkg update # opkg install openssh-sftp-server usb-modeswitch usb-modeswitch-data haserl 3. Add batman-adv package @ version 2012.3 rather than current snapshot version. Download package kmod-batman-adv_3.3.8+2012.3.0-3_ar71xx.ipk Copy the .ipk file to /tmp on the MR3420 device with scp # opkg install --force-depends --nodeps ./kmod-batman-adv.ipk 4. Add the SECN files Download the two tar files for base file and for MR3420 specific files. Copy the tar files to /tmp on the device with scp Unpack the files from the / directory as follows: #cd / #tar -xvf /tmp/secn-files-base-RC3.tar #tar -xvf /tmp/secn-files-mr3420-RC3.tar Edit the /etc/config/network file if you want to change the default IP address of 10.130.1.20. 5. Reboot. The SECN firmware will appear on the SECN default IP address of 10.130.1.20 unless you have edited the file in the previous step.
