Widy redux - returning to the project after a few months away from it.
I used Barrier Breaker version of OpenWRT, but I don't recall which firmware platform I picked. I could probably refer to the documentation for the TP-Link router (TP-Link Portable 3G/4G Wireless N Router, TL-MR3040) on the OpenWRT wiki or elsewhere.
To boot up the Widy device:
1. Make sure the Widy is off.
2. Set the Widy into 3G/4G mode.
3. Connect the Widy ethernet port to your computer's ethernet port.
4. Turn the Widy on.
If you monitor your ethernet port, using your operating system's network utility, you should see the Widy device show up at 192.168.1.1. If it shows up at some other IP address, turn the Widy off, ensure it is on 3G/4G mode, and turn it back on.
Once the Widy has turned on, you can ssh to it via ssh root@192.168.1.1, or alternatively you can use the LuCI web interface by going to 192.168.1.1 in a browser. Both use the same root username/password. When you first install OpenWRT, you set the root username/password.
