-. *Flash the LEDE firmware image into your router.* The exact process is device-specific.

The directory structure for LEDE is identical to OpenWrt's downloads.

-.. *Connect via Ethernet using DHCP.* After flashing, make sure your computer is connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) port of the router using DHCP.
-. *SSH to the router.* +

+.. On other devices: *Connect the device to your router.* The device will acquire an address using DHCP. Check your router's web-interface to learn which address it got.

LEDE ships without a password. Enter `passwd` and type the new password twice.
_Note: Use a good password: it secures your home network.

-The router WAN port defaults to DHCP, so you can usually connect the WAN port of your new router into a LAN port of your existing router. The new router should then be "on the air."
