XRouter (XrPi, XrLin, XrWin) Downloads

This page is a “work in progress”. The plan is to put more stuff on here, but the wiki only accepts files up to 2 megabytes. The very latest files can always be obtained from the XRouter group files area at:

https://groups.io/g/xrouter/files

These are the XRouter executables, as of 25th September 2025.

If you already have a working XRouter system, simply replace the old executable with the new one as follows:

Download the variant that suits your OS (see below).
Unzip the archive to extract the executable file.
Rename the executable to “xrlin”, “xrpi” or “xrwin” as appropriate.
Backup or rename your existing executable, just in case.
Copy or move the new executable into your working XRouter directory.
For Linux, remember to use “chmod -x {progname}” to allow it to run.
Run with “./xrpi” or “sudo ./xrpi” as appropriate.

The “static” variants are standalone programs with no dependencies, so they should run on any Linux OS version. The non-static versions require a suitable version of GLIBC, which change with every OS. XRouter variants for older OS versions will generally run on later OS versions, but not necessarily the other way around. For example, the “stretch” variant will run on Bullseye, but the Bullseye version won't run on Stretch.

If you don't have an existing XRouter setup, you will need a full release package. This is too big for the wiki, so you will need to download the “support files” and executable separately.
