This tutorial requires that you have Optware installed.
After you have installed Optware
- Log into your router with the web interface. Usaly http://192.168.1.1
- Then goto "Tools -> System"
- In the Command box put "ipkg update". This will update the package list so you download the latest version.
- Click [Execute]
- In the same Command box put "ipkg install castget". This will install Castget.
- Click [Execute]
- Then go to “Administration -> Scheduler” and add the code listed bellow to the "Command" field of Custom 1,2, or 3 just use one that's available. I recommend setting the time this runs to every 12 or 24 hours.
