Set the network up for a 'Bridged Adapter' to my laptop's wired Ethernet adapter (We'll need the VM on our same network as the laptop later when we install to the RB450G).Increased the disk size to 25 GB (The openwrt build is huge).Increased the memory to 1024M (Faster?).I needed that to keep making the virtual disk larger because I started off with the default 8 GB disk: if you just initially size to a 25 GB disk, you should be able to skip re-partitioning your drive when you run out of space during the openwrt build: less hassle, more time to pet the dog. You may also notice from that screen capture above that I created a second virtual machine with the free 'parted' program in it. In VirtualBox, click on 'new' to create a new VM. Step 2 - Install a Debian Virtual Machine in VirtualBoxĭownload the latest netinstall version of amd64 Bit Debian from I used the netinstall version because its a small initial file size and I have a fast Internet connection to later allow the Debian installer (apt-get) to just upload all the packages directly during the first boot of Debian. If you have any modern Intel or AMD processor, the 'amd64' distribution is almost guaranteed to be the version you want. The correct image to get for my Intel processor is 'amd64': don't make the mistake of grabbing the 'ia64' version because that is for the incredibly rare and unique Itanium Intel processor. One quick note about the version of software to get whenever downloading for the Intel processor that my laptop uses: I went to and downloaded the Windows amd64 version of VirtualBox. The VirtualBox install was painless but time consuming. The VMWare player license stipulates that it cannot be used for profit, the Windows Virtual PC is just for XP virtual machines, so that left me with VirtualBox. There are numerous virtual machines out there: VMWare, Windows Virtual PC, and VirtualBox are the three most common free versions that come to mind. Step 1 - Install a Virtual Machine on my Windows Laptop To build openwrt, I need a Linux desktop machine.

My main computer is a Windows 7 64 bit laptop with its maximum 8GB RAM and a 500GB flash drive. My apologies to the Linux fans: I love Linux, but I'm really familiar with Windows 7 by virtue of professional necessity. Virtually every form of Industrial software runs from Windows so that's my first line of defense for my paying jobs. I've been using Unix and Linux for 25+ years but my daily machine is my Windows 7 laptop. The openwrt RB450G installation instructions you'll find elsewhere on the Internet tend to use Linux for most operations. My instructions here are Windows 7 oriented. Installing Openwrt on the Mikrotik RB493G

So continue reading this article if you would like to know how to install Attitude Adjustment openwrt on your RB450G, but if you would prefer to use a much newer, substantially simplified (V18) openwrt installation process, see this posting: I wrote an in-depth posting about installing V18 openwrt on the RB493G and that article is entirely applicable to the RB450G too. As of November 2018, openwrt is at version 18.06.1 - and it is now remarkably simpler to install openwrt on the Mikrotik RouterBoards.

When you read this posting, you will see there were a LOT of steps to get openwrt installed on the RB450G back in 2014. Update: I originally wrote this posting in 2014 when openwrt was at version 'Attitude Adjustment'. I'm following the openwrt build instructions found here: Following is the process I've used to get the open source Linux openwrt distribution running on the RB450G. Since The Mikrotik OS is proprietary and does not lend itself to modification or augmentation, I'd like to get an open source version of Linux running on this hardware to customize the RB450G for industrial applications.

The irony of the full feature set is that this router is difficult to learn for industrial applications: we simply don't need most of the features and their immense routing flexibility is not used for an industrial application. These routers give Cisco a run for their money at a fraction of the cost.

They ship with a proprietary Mikrotik OS that has a surprisingly full feature set for router applications. I've been using the RB450G for industrial applications and found them to be reliable.

They are designed to be used in some pretty challenging outdoor environments so they have to be robust.

It has a serial port, SD card slot, will run from a 24V DC supply and is rated for -40 to +70 degrees C. Its a powerhouse small router with a 680 MHz MIPS processor, 256MB RAM and 512MB NAND flash. The Mikrotik RB450G is a high quality 10/100/1000 5 port router available in a steel case.
