Attention!
Keenetic provides no official support for third-party packages, such as Entware. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to post them here.
Requirements
To start using Entware on Keenetic, you need:
A Keenetic router with a USB port (except Keenetic 4G) running NDMS 2.07 or higher
Either "File and printer sharing (SMB/CIFS protocols)", or "FTP server" component installed
The "Open Package support" component installed
A USB disk with an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition
Important: Keenetic should be connected to the Internet.
Installation instructions
Connect your USB storage to Keenetic
Share the ext2/ext3/ext4 partition via FTP or SMB/CIFS
Create the "install" directory
Copy the following archive to the "install" directory: EN_mipsel-installer.tar.gz ; for KN-2011 and KN-2111 - EN_mips-installer.tar.gz; for KN-2710 - EN_aarch64-installer.tar.gz
Go to the Keenetic web interface: "Applications » OPKG", check "Enable", select the USB drive, and click "Apply"
Wait for the following message in the system log:
"... installer: [5/5] Entware installed!"
