FAQ
Which version should I choose, ext4 or squashfs?
I provide both versions.ext4 is recommended for ThinkPad R400 users who want to use Docker or save large amounts of data, as it allows easy partition resizing.squashfs is best for those who want a "factory reset" feature for added system safety.If you are unsure, I recommend the ext4 version for max
What if my R400 doesn't have the AR9280 Wi-Fi card?
The firmware will still work perfectly as a high-performance wired router/gateway. However, the built-in Wi-Fi may not support "Access Point" mode unless it's a compatible Atheros card like the AR9280. You can always use an external USB Wi-Fi adapter or use the R400 as a powerful wired main router.
Does this firmware support PPPoE (ISP Dial-up)?
Yes! It is a full-featured OpenWrt build. It supports PPPoE, Static IP, and DHCP. You can use it to replace your ISP router or place it behind your existing modem as a security gateway.
Can I run other Docker containers on this?
Absolutely. With 8GB of RAM, your R400 has plenty of power. You can install Home Assistant, Plex, or a private cloud using the pre-installed Docker environment.
