OpenWRT - Install OpenWRT on Mikrotik RB2011

In this video, I am going to install OpenWRT on the Mikrotik Routerboard RB2011. After that, we will have some tests to check out the device performance: WAN to LAN iperf test, OpenSpeedTest and PPPoE with VLAN speedtest. Of course software & hardware offloading tests will be conducted as well.
Due to the switch configuration bug in LuCI (for the RB2011), you won't be able to configure VLAN with LuCI. But no worry, I will also show you how to configure VLAN tagging using the Command Line.
