-. *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.
 .. *Follow the flashing instructions* on the OpenWrt Device Page.
-.. *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.

-. *Connect the Wide Area Network (WAN) port of the router to "the internet".* +
-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."
