+# OpenRouter
+
+A modern C++ router management application providing a web-based interface for configuring and managing network router settings.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Web-based Interface**: Modern web UI for easy router configuration
+- **Network Configuration**: 
+  - WiFi settings management (SSID, password, channel, QR code generation)
+  - DNS server configuration
+  - SSH server management with key handling
+  - Telnet server configuration
+  - FTP server settings
+- **System Management**:
+  - System reboot functionality
+  - Uptime monitoring
+  - System log access
+  - Firmware updates
+- **Security**: 
+  - Authentication system
+  - CORS security headers
+  - SSH key management
+- **Backup & Restore**: Configuration backup and restore capabilities
+- **QR Code Generation**: Generate QR codes for WiFi credentials
+
+## Requirements
+
+- C++20 compatible compiler (GCC 10+ or Clang 10+)
+- CMake 3.6 or higher
+- Make build system
+- Linux-based system (for installation paths)
+
+## Building from Source
+
+### Using CMake
+
+```bash
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+make
+```
+
+### Using Make
+
+```bash
+make
+```
+
+### Using Meson
+
+```bash
+meson setup builddir
+cd builddir
+meson compile
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+After building, install the application:
+
+```bash
+sudo make install
+```
+
+This will install:
+- `openrouter` binary to `/usr/bin/`
+- Web interface files to `/usr/share/openrouter/web/`
+
+## Configuration
+
+The application uses JSON configuration files:
+
+- `config.json`: Main configuration file
+- `config_default.json`: Default configuration template
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "server": {
+    "ip": "0.0.0.0",
+    "port": 8080
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Starting the Server
+
+```bash
+openrouter
+```
+
+The web interface will be available at `http://localhost:8080` (or the configured IP and port).
+
+### API Endpoints
+
+The application provides RESTful API endpoints for:
+
+- **WiFi Management**: Configure wireless settings
+- **DNS Settings**: Manage DNS servers and local domains
+- **SSH Configuration**: Enable/disable SSH, manage keys and ports
+- **Telnet Settings**: Configure telnet access
+- **FTP Server**: Manage FTP server settings
+- **System Operations**: Reboot, view logs, check uptime
+- **Authentication**: User authentication and session management
