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.
Not
For KN-1010/1011, KN-1810, KN-1910, KN-2310, KN-2610, use the mipsel archive for installation — EN_mipsel-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:

Now install the required OPKG package.
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.
