# Manual for HW setup and basic router functionalities

**Thank Tido do the hard work.**

I have started to write a 'manual' about the hardware setup of a BPi-R1 (Router). In the threads of the Forum, the information is scattered and it takes so much time for each to get along. So I thought such a document would help to become not only faster, but to get a better result as well. My know how is getting better, but many things are missing.

I have now written a new manual for IGOR's 2.7 image.

Please leave your comments how you got along.

Cheers Tido
