Thank you so much, sir! It worked perfectly! Now I have 126GB storage on my router, previously it was only 9MB! A massive upgrade, really! Though I was facing problem, because my pendrive (sda1) was not showing. Then I installed all the USB drivers manually and reboot the router. Then I tried again, and this time I found my pendrive in "block info" list as sda1.
Even though I followed the Wiki, I still could not get it to work exactly... but your video explained it easily! Just put a really old 2GB USB drive in and it made all the difference! 16 MB flash was awesome but it ran out pretty quick :-) and the really really old 2 GB drive made this old router suite my every need! Can't thank you enough!
How did you resolve problem with sleep cycle of read/write IO to USB related to Idle? If you not resolve the problem after 5 months usb will not mount and router will not start due to USB hardware problem. Do you even understand me?
Thanks for the video & it's working to but there is only one problem I am facing sometimes whenever my Router goes Power OFF, the Storage come back to default to my router storage I tried so many times, but my all packages removed from it, I don't know how to explain this but I think in USB its already have the package's installed but the router mounting only default storage.
Hi, I have done it a same time ago. And indeed it works. I extented my NanoPi R4S with 1TB SSD. However my /overlay size shows inccorrect (instead of 1TB it shows only micro sd size). That's why decided to move docker /opk to my /mnt/sdb1/Docker folder. Now I'm facing a new problem - really slow performance during pulling and exctracting docker images (it can take hours to handle small image, which is crazy on SSD). How to reverse that process back? Or how to make it much faster? Could you explain or prepare a new tutorial, please?

Nice, in the same scenario, can we also make mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2, /dev/sda3, /dev/sda4 or /dev/swap etc?, what are the good points to have multiple partition in this setup?
Please show us the Print Server Setup and use it from mobile without pc. We can do it with tplink firmwares eg. wdr 3600. Now i use openwrt. So show us a way.
Great tutorial! Could you share your fstab file? I am trying to implement extroot on a TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1 but have not been successful so far. I have a problem detecting uuid usb pendrive following this same openwrt guide.
Hello. I have a router without USB. That's why I came up with the idea of using rclone to mount a disk with GoogleDrive. It worked, I got 15Gb of disk. But I'm having a hard time getting the disk to mount at boot. I made the script "rclone mount -- daemon gdrive:/ /mnt/gdrive" . I chmod +x the script, saved it to init.d, "/etc/init.d/script.sh" , which worked great. But to start the router with the disk already mounted, many, many difficulties... I've tried rc.local, I've tried crontab -e , I've packed the script, but all without success. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, the script works but I can't get it to mount the disk on boot, but it's an excellent approach. Even in the tests, I was able to install packages like openvpn vpn, ddns, and set up an FTP server for my IP cameras to save directly to GoogleDrive. but when I restart the retractor I lose all configuration, because I still haven't managed to make the disk mount at boot
Hi bro, you will need to install driver to get the 4G/3G dongle working and then configure multiwan in failover mode with mwan3. You can find the videos to these topics on the channel home page -> OpenWRT Tutorial playlist.
@@VanTechCorner Hi thanks for the video, I have OpenWrt router with 2 ISP, can you please give me a tutorial on how to split the connection? ISP 1 = For all access ISP 2 = Only access youtube_com, instagram_com and tiktok_com? I try to use MWAN3, but it needs to input the IP address 1 by 1, is there any better way?
Hi, it depends on the throughput/traffic each client sends and receives. For 100 devices connected to the access point of the OpenWRT, it shouldn't be a problem. But problem comes when the device surfing the internet or downloading files. Even the Linksys E8450 WiFi 6 router said they only support 25+ devices.
Excelente vídeo. Muito bom. Já bloqueei muito roteador fazendo exroot. Mas depois de muito tempo consegui desbloquear e fazer o exroot. Hoje estou com o projeto de baixar o rclone, montar o disco com GoogleDrive, fazer script para o rclone montar o disco no boot e instalar pacotes com "opkg install -d" em uma pasta chamada etc2 no disco GoogleDrive montado. Mas aí da estou tendo dificuldades

@@VanTechCorner write speed is 8.58MB/s and read is 16.6MB/s. It's processor(system) problem? Because when I start the adguardhome, it will having high usage on it but when I stop it, it will back to normal.
I love your content. You are the only one I have found that dedicates so ,many guides focused on Openwrt. They are detailed and extremely helpful.

Great explanation i’ve been searching for such tutorials for while keep the good work
Thanks. You've a real talent. I enjoy watching your videos. They're really helpful! Greetings from Brazil.
Is there size limitation on how big the USB stick can be ? I'm planning to stick a 16 GB USB.
If I want to change the usb drive, do I need to type any cmd to change it? Or just plug and play should be fine?
Thanks, I was able to use my old router as ADGuard
Thanks Van. Awesome work.
Can i do this with a 500g disk where i make a small 500mb partition to use it as the routers storage? Or does the whole disk need to be in ext4
Thanks for the video, got it working. How would I transfer adguard home installation to the USB?
Is this possible to use it with usb hub and 2 flash stick? On first make overlay and second for file server?
Thank you for your videos! You are a good resource.

how install passwall include trojan, v2ray, etc on openwrt?
I can see that each of the guide has their installation guide on the Github. What is your problem during the installation?
What if I want to unplug the USB, how can I switch it back to the default partition?
There is guide in the doc on how to do that. You can also format factory the router to go back to default as well.
@@VanTechCorner Alright. Thank you for the tutorial.
