Introduction

Today I am going to share my experience in Installing CoovaChilli on a router.

My first attempt with this endeavor ended up with me having a very expensive brick instead of a captive portal. So for those who want to avoid this costly experience I am laying out this simple installation process for you to follow and hopefully succeed. Once you get comfortable with it you can then venture into more riskier approach, like compiling your own OpenWRT.

I am using TP-Link's MR3220 as my router. Though I haven't tried it yet, I hope the same approach will work on other routers based on Altheros AR71xx.
Let's start!
