GL-MT300N-V2 only 2MB usable space?

I just received my GL-MT300N-V2 and upon trying to install tor-geoip it fails because of lack of storage space. The ROM is 16MB so I assumed I’d have enough. Must I install an external USB stick? I’d rather reserve that for something else.

Thanks

Yep, sorry, this is a known issue and can be found doing a search of the forum. Using an external USB stick or buy something like an AR750s or AR300m that has the NOR and NAND flash. The other option is to try the generic OpenWRT firmware as it takes up less space, so you may have room for your other packages.

Thanks Eric…I may try the generic firmware but I do like the GUI on this one.

You can skinny it down with imagebuilder.
