OpenWrt is a firmware program for embedded devices based on GNU/LINUX.
Under OpenWrt it is possible to run Chillispot and CoovaChilli, that are captive portal based softwares, fully compliant with Cloud4Wi solution.
Anyway Cloud4Wi does not provide support for the installation of Chillispot or CoovaChilli in OpenWrt.
OpenWrt is actually a real operating system and, for this reason, the problems that may occur during the installation and the configuration of the device in a real network scenario may depend on a wide number of factors, including the specific device or software release of OpenWrt.
Please, be aware that flashing an AP to install OpenWrt is not a simple practice, firmware and Linux knowledge are required to successfully complete this step.
