How to working with router station?

[moonoi]

Dear all,
Sorry I'm newbie for embedded system world. So, now I've some question before I'll buy router station.
- If I buy Router Station how can I flash firmware or modify program?
- How can I interface and working with it?
- If I buy Router Station should I buy some wifi interface(XtreamRangex, SRxx etc.)?
- can it support with other maker wifi interface?

Thanks
:) :) :)

I would suggest the RouterStation only if you are comfortable with OpenWRT and command line Linux. It does not have a web interface out of the box, nor is there a friendly web interface to upgrade the firmware.

The RouterStation is a Linux system, so it will work with any cards which have drivers included with the OpenWRT Linux distribution.

There is a VMWare image of OpenWRT you can play with if you want to get comfortable:

As of these days, Kamikaze release of OpenWRT usually supplied with LuCI web-interface by default (at least this is default of OpenWRT guys on their own). So you can get most basic things and some advanced things working without a decent knowledge of Linux commands at all :roll:. I don't remember well, does Ubiquiti default image supplied without web face? :o And there is UCI which is definitely not harder to use than, let's say, CISCO or whatever. However, yes, let's say: with some Linux knowledge these boards are turning into a real dream machine which can do virtually anything you may want from network equipment :D.

You will need a Linux PC.
