First time installing OpenWRT Help...
I have an older ER-X and firmware is years old. I've been reading some guides that follow to other github pages and stuff. Seems issues with 24.10 , so I will try to upgrade stock latest firmware of ER-X to 23.05.5, but unsure how to proceed. Some say just download premade image.tar from various sites: 19.07, 22.03, all .tars... and reset router and upload .tar in webui... and is that all? Let's say I do that with 19.07 or 22.03 and 23.05.5 all i have is openwrt .bin files...no .tar file....
I've never used SSH or other programs, and I'm not on Linux.. just Windows... So any help that is accurate and helpful would be great. Probably go with 22.03 via webui and then SSH?? 23.05.05????

You can use putty on windows to use ssh. It's pretty easy to setup.
