I am using a Linkys WRT54G v3 router with OpenWRT v10.03.1. My end goal is to use Traffic Control (tc) and Network Emulator (netem) on the router, which are in the ip package (this is the iproute2 package in most linux distributions).

However, my computer is connected to a work network, and the router is connected to my computer via an ethernet cable. I am not able to connect the router to the internet, wired or wireless, because of work restrictions. I have to access the internet through my computer, and then ssh into the router via PuTTy.

Is there any way to download the ip package on my computer and push it onto the router? Can you direct me to a safe place to download the ip package, if such exists?

Thanks.

  • Instead of just down voting my question, could you provide some insight to why it is not a good question, if it is not one? Or could you give me some constructive criticism on how I could improve it? – wcarhart Jul 18 '16 at 23:25
  • install package offline is not recommended, i have ever try it and missing dependency be next problem, that was my experience using tpl mr3420, if you want to continue your works do your router have any ports to mount those files, or maybe you can store package files and put on your local file server and wget from your router using ssh – Iqbal Rizky Jul 18 '16 at 23:49

so your router is not connecting to the internet.And you want to download the ip package to your PC then install it into your router right ?

1.For Linkys WRT54G v3 with OpenWRT v10.03.1.Here is the link:

https://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/brcm-2.4/packages/ip_2.6.29-1-2_brcm-2.4.ipk

You might need to install dependencies as well.

2.If your PC is Windows OS ,you can use WinSCP to copy the package into your router. Or if your PC is Linux OS,you can use scp command.

After copying the package,install it by opkg

opkg -i <package>

  • Okay, actually it says "Packages were found, but none compatible with the architectures configured." Does that mean that I need to install other dependencies, or that the `ip` package just won't work with this router? – wcarhart Jul 19 '16 at 17:51
  • I figured it out. I had to change a little bit of `/etc/opkg.conf` or use a different version of the `ip` package. Thanks for the help – wcarhart Jul 19 '16 at 18:56
