Getting to this late…
I’ve got OpenWRT running on 2 Meraki MR12’s… takes a little doing but not terribly complicated if you are willing to crack the case open and attach a serial console via UART. No intermediate Linux host needed. OpenWRT has been stable and useful on this hardware. Happy to help with any questions… -sc From: listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of J Harris Sent: Monday, March 14, 2016 9:59 PM To: ntsys...@lists.myitforum.com Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] DD-WRT on Meraki router It appears OpenWRT needs to be loaded from a Linux box at least on first reading that is how it appears. Also the Meraki instructions to me are not as clear as if I went with DD-WRT. The Meraki units need a TFTP server/client setup with an static IP address. Meraki really wanted to make it hard to change things on the “free” units. Since the Meraki unit I have is not yet supported…Not like the Linksys devices which will allow you to grab any BIN to flash when you told it where to look. Since I have a very old WRT54G that I retired after it stopped passing packs from inside to outside I will try flashing that unit with DD-WRT and see if it starts working again.

I'm a DD-WRT user, so I am unfamiliar with OpenWRT pitfalls. -- Espi On Mon, Mar 14, 2016 at 5:19 PM, J Harris <jk.har...@live.com> wrote: Alright I finally got my model number and it is unsupported at this time on DD-WRT but is supported on OpenWRT. It looks like that will be more trouble than it is worth to me to go that route.

But which build is the question. I would have to do a little more research to find the model number for the “free” one I have but has anyone used build 6999 20070508 on it? Thank you!
