Please first read the full documentation, available at:

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build

A simple build is possible after only installing the prerequisite packages for your distribution, as listed in the full documentation. All necessary packages for basic router operation with WiFi are included in the basic image.

All you should have to do is clone the git repository, run make menuconfig and select Ralink RT288x/RT3xxx as the target and RT288x based boards as the subtarget. Then, make will build the image for all supported routers. You can use make -j<whatever> to speed up your build on multicore machines.

Resulting images are in bin/ramips. Use factory images for initial flashing from factory firmware, and sysupgrade images for upgrading from within OpenWrt via sysupgrade.

After flashing, please follow the instructions in http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/firstlogin and http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/basic.config to get your router set up. Wireless setup is explained at http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless
