Hi

Please provide native OpenWRT with wireless enabled. I wanna try native OpenWRT because router doesn't receive any updates. See: No love for Slate Plus?

But native OpenWRT after flashing doesn't have wireless enabled. And i don't have any device in house with LAN port, all wireless (even laptops!). LAN? Come on it is 2025!

I asked help on their forums, they told me that i need to buy LAN to USB adapter, which i feel usless to buy since i never use LAN cables.

So i ask GL team to provide native OpenWRT image for all models but with slightly modified thing: wireless enebled after flash, so i (and users with no LAN ports) will be able to access admin panel.

Hi,

You can use the uci-defaults feature in the OpenWrt Firmware Selector to enable Wi-Fi by default during firmware build.

Please refer to the following documentation for details:

Here is a simple example configuration:

cat << "EOF" > /etc/uci-defaults/99-custom
uci -q batch << EOI
set wireless.@wifi-device[0].disabled='0'
set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ssid='OpenWrt'
set wireless.@wifi-device[1].disabled='0'
set wireless.@wifi-iface[1].ssid='OpenWrt-5G'
EOI
