What does Advanced usage mean? Which usage of our products is not advanced and which is very advanced?
The answer is dependent on a point of view. While a thing can seem very advanced to one user, it could be a very basic practice for another.
So let's first say what is considered basic and what is not going to be covered here:
On another hand, the above topics, together with a heck a lot of others, are already covered at the appropriate places. Huh? What is an appropriate place for covering such a topic, I hear you asking.
Well, there are more such places and this particular page is an exact place to name the existing things out, to serve as a starting point, as a reference to what is available where.
One of the good information sources is a configuration manual. What can you find in such a document?
The configuration manual is a document that describes a group of similar devices. This document is kept up-to-date with the actual operating system of the router. You can always find the appropriate Configuration Manual for your router on that particular product page!
Another document that may come in handy is a User's Manual. That is a different kind of animal, describing usually a more narrow group of routers, specifying technical parameters, regulations that are met, and helping you with the first setup and configuration of your device. Note that you can always find the up-to-date User's Manual for your router on the product pages!
Yet another document that may come extremely handy, especially for those who want to do some really advanced usage of our products is a Commands and Scripts application note. While the router uses many of the open-source tools, some of the tools may not present a complete range of options that are offered in a big Linux distribution, so a reference to the supported options plus a simple example per each command may be valuable. Also, there are some additional commands available on the router and for these, the manual is your only information source.
To further explore the possibilities of our products you would probably continue with using a Router App feature - a way, how to increase the functionality via additional software packages. But even in the case, there is no Router App fit for your need, there are still options - we can either develop a custom Router App for you or you can do it on your own! There are just a few things that you need to get started - some Linux box, cross-compiler, and an SDK. The description on how to get things ready can be found on the Preparing build environment and once you are done, you can get inspiration from the Router App examples bundled within the SDK.
