Most will fit on a WRT3200ACM (if done in the correct order (biggest to smallest groups) and individually, they'll all fit). But it will be a tight squeeze to fit everything on the lower end AC Series. Dependencies are not listed, but will be installed when the various items are installed. | ||

==== Samba ==== | WATCH OUT: One or more of the password related utilities will break the LuCI GUI ability to change passwords. Use the ''passwd'' command on the command line instead (you'll need to do it separately for LuCI GUI access and SSH access). If one gets "locked out", remember the Serial / TTL interface doesn't require a password so all passwords for the root user can be removed with this command: passwd root -r | ||

...and finally Samba. It is quite useful in moving files around quickly, but it takes up a LOT of space. The WRT32X and WRT3200ACM (to a lesser degree than the 32X) can spare the space, but probably not the lower end AC routers. So this will be the item to leave off as it has the biggest storage footprint. | ...and finally Samba. It is quite useful in moving files around quickly, but it takes up a LOT of space.
