Re: Help Installing on MR3040

No problem. Yes - that link did refer to the 3020, but adding that line to the network config really did work on the 3040.

Those devices shouldn't be different assuming the flash went correctly.... if that might not work properly, the result is something like not saved changes and so on.

1. Is PiirateBox installed?

no.

2. If so why don't I see it's SSID and am unable login, and in PuTTY why unable to run the Post-Install actions?

PirateBox is not installed. You can connect via wired, but running post-install actions makes no sence at this point.

3. In my PuTTY access (assumed to be correctly in to the router at 192.168.1.1), is it correct to see the cursor at root@OpenWrt (it's not show as at 192.168.1.1), or is this indicating a problem?

This is another indication, that PirateBox is not installed.
But the hostname itself doesn't really matter.

4. Where did I go wrong? ...or how to start flash & install PB again from beginning.

If you still see the "openWRT", the basic usb setup should have worked. Following the thread above, USB stick works also.
Auto installation does restart if the file "auto_package" done is available. After the first run installation (or failed installation) the file gets renamed to "auto_package_done". This is important to know about the auto installations. This file is located in the install folder on the usb stick.
You can start the installation with doing the following steps

mv /mnt/usb/install.log /mnt/usb/install.log.old
mv /mnt/usb/install/auto_package_done /mnt/usb/install/auto_package
box_installer_start.sh

Then you can see the output of your installation. If you get errors, please post the output of the install.log file on your USB Stick.

5. Do I need to edit network config file -- config interface 'lan' to add the line option gateway '192.168.1.1' which is missing from my config, as Evan suggests?

No, there shouldn't be any need for this.
