LuCI - The Elegant Web Interface for OpenWrt
LuCI is the default and primary web user interface for OpenWrt embedded Linux distributions. It provides a user-friendly way to configure your network router and connected devices via a standard web browser, simplifying complex configurations.
Project Introduction
Summary
LuCI offers a modular, lightweight, and highly customizable web interface for OpenWrt. It allows users to manage all aspects of their router configuration, from basic network settings to advanced package management, without needing command-line expertise.
