Asus RT-AC68U - Entware

[Datashuttle]

Looks like the URL: http://pkg.entware.net/... for installing Entware is not accessible, and the install script is breaking as a result. Anyone have an updated URL?

RT-AC68U: 384.4_2

Try search the forum.

Try search the forum.

Sure, I can search the forum for AMTM because I'm sure it's not "the most successful and longest-running fashion reality TV series."

If AMTM is the way to go now, then the docs need changing.

amtm does no longer include the Entware installer.

Yep, read this thread: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/entware-ng-entware-3x-merge.45098/

Okay, so at the end of the entware-setup.sh script, it will wget on the generic.sh script on the arm7 processor, then execute it. Problem is, I don't have the downloader thing worked out. The docs say this:

Important: Asus's DownloadMaster is based on Optware, and therefore is NOT compatible with Entware. You will have to uninstall DownloadMaster and look at the alternatives provided by Entware.

How is this done? These instructions cannot be any more sparse.

Thanks for the link, and I'll get Transmission installed.

I think I've narrowed the issue down to being unable to execute wget command. Using wget on any URL I get: wget: unable to resolve host address ...

So I think there is a config that tells merlin what to use for an Internet connection, and that is perhaps the WAN port, which I'm not using. My particular install piggy backs onto another router through a LAN connection for Internet access.

If I can figure out where to change this, or someone knows, I'd appreciate a tip. Once resolved, I'd expect all the Entware installs will go like clockwork.
