Needed a cheap wi-fi relay and had some raspi 4's to spare. This video was a great jumpstart for loading OpenWRT. Thanks for taking the time to post

Thanks for the tutorial, I want to add a Realtek WiFi key, but I can't always do it.

How to setup with SSH? I tried and it refused connection.
I can't set it up on my TV because the Pi won't work with it.

What can you do if the boot screen only comes up to IPV6 (last point) then comes dummy cam disable but not the OpenWRT logo? I have a Raspberry pi 2 and if you remove the Ethernet cable, it reacts in the console but you can't do anything else

Why ext4 and not squashFs ? Thanks for the video.

Do you happen to know anyone interested in doing a little pi related consulting with me as I work to overcome some PI related issues and questions? Thx
