Here is my updated OpenWRT guide for the Ubiquity Router Station Pro - this includes wireless drivers and a minimal install (with optimization for performance set instead of size).
-
sudo apt-get install build-essential asciidoc binutils bzip2 gawk gettext git libncurses5-dev libz-dev patch unzip zlib1g-dev lib32gcc1 libc6-dev-i386 subversion flex

Flashing the Routerstation Pro with your custom image
Boot the system in recovery mode by holding the reset switch for a few seconds while powering on the device.
Check what IP address your router is using because the default IP from the factory firmware is 192.168.1.20, but the OpenWRT image for the routerstation pro is 192.168.1.1.
Upload the new firmware to the device through WAN port using TFTP on the default IP address, 192.168.1.20
tftp 192.168.1.20 -m binary -c put openwrt-ar71xx-ubnt-rspro-jffs2-factory.bin
Give your router 10 minutes for the recovery process to run.
Now you can get back into the device by using OpenWrt's failsafe mode to change the password.
-
Unplug the router's power cord.
-
Connect the router's LAN1 port directly to your PC.
-
Configure your PC with a static IP address between 192.168.1.4 and plug your ethernet connection into LAN port 1.
-
Hold the reset button down and plug the power back in.
-
Hold the reset button down until the RF LED on the front of the board becomes solid.
-
You should be able to Telnet to the router at 192.168.1.1 now (there is no username and password)
Run the passwd command to change your password, reboot and SSH into the device using your new credentials.
