  • interfaces stats (vnstat)
  • QoS possibility (custom scripts) compiled in: CBQ, CSZ, PRIO, RED, SFQ, TEQL, TBF, GRED, INGRESS and more
  • FTP client support


    Configuration: Main configuration files are located in /etc/runtime.
    Short descrption of configuration files is here

    Configuration for different working modes

    Main command to use with this firmware:
  • vi - only this editor is available to edit config files.
  • wrunt - this command writes contents of /etc/runtime directory to flash memory
  • rrunt - restring /etc/runtime directory from flash memory
  • wlocal - writes contents of /usr/local directory to flash (up to 64Kb)
  • rlocal - restores contents of /usr/local directory from flash ( if you want auto restore /usr/local on reboot set CONF_LOCAL in main.cfg file)

    Here is a copy of defeault /etc/runtime/message file: 
    .:.:. ap8186 info .:.:.

this is a content of /etc/runtime/message file.
Here you can write message which will be shown when you logon
to the AP.

usage:
configuration file are located in: /etc/runtime
main configuration file are "main.cfg" (comment inside)
write config to flash: "wrunt".
you can write your own script and run it on startup - you have call them
from /etc/runtime/user script.
Your script can be located in /usr/local which is restored before running
/etc/runtime/user (but you have to set CONF_LOCAL in main.cfg to "1").
You can write content of this directory to flash using "wlocal" command.

You can restore content of /etc/runtime directory running "rrunt" command.
"rlocal" restoring content of /usr/local.

You can all the time restrore to "factory default" config using
"reset-to-default"

p.s. if you are using this soft please send me email: [email protected] -
this will be motivation to upgrade / modify this software :)


    There is many command which can be used in this firmware. If you are know Linux here a contents of directories: bin sbin usr/bin usr/sbin
