ARM devices & hard routers

Same as the hardware list, plus hard routers like Xiaomi AX9000.

Prerequisite: you need a device already flashed with iStoreOS. If not, follow the official installation guide first.

Quick Start

1. Get the device online

Connect the device to your network as a main router, side router, or pure host:

Scenario	Mode	Wiring	Key config
1 port	Side router	Single port to switch/main router LAN	Static IP, DHCP disabled
1 port	Pure host	Same as above	DHCP client enabled
Multiple ports	Main router	First port (WAN) to modem; rest (LAN) to devices	WAN access + LAN DHCP
Multiple ports	Side router	LAN port to main router LAN	Static IP, DHCP disabled
Multiple ports	Pure host	WAN to main network	DHCP client enabled

2. Access the device

• Default username: root, default password: password
• Main router (wired): browse 192.168.100.1
• Side router / pure host: get the device IP from the upstream router, then browse it
• If inaccessible: try setting WAN firewall inbound to "accept"

3. Network configuration (Network Wizard)

• Broadband dial-up: enter the broadband account and password
• Connect to existing router: DHCP (automatic IP) or static IP (IP in the upstream subnet, mask 255.255.255.0, gateway = upstream router IP, DNS manually)
• Side router config: static IP in the upstream subnet, gateway = upstream router IP, then point clients' gateways to the iStoreOS IP
• IPv6 config: multiple official scenario guides (dial-up + side router, etc.)

4. Quick setup

Wizard-based installation and configuration of common software.

5. App center

Rich app ecosystem; see the official iStore app center docs for details.

Home Wizards & Common Features

• Firmware update: online check / flash new firmware
• LAN config: device IP, subnet mask, DHCP pool
• DNS config: auto or manual public DNS
• Software source: one-click OpenWrt source switching
• Sandbox mode: multi-layer OverlayFS via an ext4 USB drive mounted as "external overlay"
• Network interface status: visual port status
• Disk info: disk details, disk manager and mount points
• Storage services: Easy Cloud / Samba / WebDAV quick setup
• Docker directory: view and migrate the Docker root
• Download services: Aria2 / qBittorrent / Transmission quick setup
• Remote domain: DDNSTO or dynamic DNS
• Port config: set any port as WAN or LAN

Application Scenarios
