Installing OPKG Entware in the router's internal memory
Starting from version 3.7, for some of the Keenetic models, it is possible to write OPKG Entware to the UBIFS partition of the router's NAND flash memory, i.e. to the built-in memory of the router.
To support this feature, you will need to install the following components:
On the 'Applications' page under 'USB Devices', click on 'Internal storage' and then on the built-in storage partition. Create the install folder:
Copy the installation file ***-installer.tar.gz, depending on the device.
Note
For Giga (KN-1012), use the aarch64 archive — aarch64-installer.tar.gz
In the router's command-line interface (CLI), select the system partition storage:/ to install OPKG Entware:
(config)> opkg disk storage:/
Opkg::Manager: Disk is set to: storage:/.In the log, you will see the following entries:

To uninstall the Entware OPKG, go to the command-line interface (CLI) of the router and disable the OPKG startup:
(config)> no opkg disk
Opkg::Manager: Disk is unset.Then unmount the storage:/ system partition:
(config)> no system mount storage:
Core::FileSystem::Repository: "storage:" unmounted.Delete the contents of the storage:/ system partition:
(config)> erase storage:
Core::FileSystem::Repository: "storage:" erased.Note
