-==Preparation== 
-#Log in to the router's GUI, go to the USB page (Services - USB), Make sure Core USB Support, USB Storage and Automatic Drive Mount are all enabled. If one or more are not, enable them and click apply. 
-#On your computer plug in the USB stick or harddrive, reformat the USB stick or harddrive using a program like Partition Wizard (Windows) or GParted (Linux). Make sure the format of the drive is ext2 for a USB stick, or ext3 or NTFS if it is a harddrive, Primary, not Logical. Label should be Optware if you want it to mount automatically.

-#(Optional) Install an ext driver on Windows (http://www.ext2fsd.com/), helpful for troubleshooting. 
-#Determine the architecture of the router you are using. Broadcom is mipsel, Atheros is mips. Newer dual-core routers are ARMv7, ex: Netgear R7800 (QCA wireless), or Linksys WRT1900AC (Marvell based wireless). Make a note of this for later. If you can't determine the architecture to use, ask in the forums. 
-#:'''Note''': if the router is using a Linux 4.X kernel (you can check this on the Status page), Entware-3X may not work.
