So you want to install LEDE on one of your devices.

The following preparation is recommended, before flashing LEDE firmware:

• Don’t rush the installation, take your time. If something seems weird during installation, find answers first before continuing.
• Have your device’s precise model name at hand (so you are able to select the correct LEDE firmware)
• Have your devices’s documentation at hand, on how to flash new firmware
• When installing and configuring LEDE on your Internet router, your Internet-access will obviously be offline for a few minutes. Please ensure that you have all required information offline or have backup Internet access at hand in this time.

If you have any questions

• browse this (LEDE) site, especially the User Guide.
• feel free to ask in the LEDE Forum.
• you can also consult the OpenWRT wiki, as LEDE is based on OpenWrt. Both projects shares most operational and installation aspects and some content has not yet been migrated.
