+== Image Selector
 If you are not sure exactly what your looking for, you can use the image selector at https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org:
  - enter a model to search for 
  - select a release
- - click on the image found
+ - click on the download icon on the image found
 
+The [https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/ image selector] also allows you to request a custom build tailored to your needs:
+ - instead of clicking on the download button you can expand the 'Customize installed packages and/or first boot script' and customize:
+  * add packages to the installed package list
+  * add a script to run on first boot (click the gear icon for an example and script instructions)
+
+== Release Versions
 There are two types of pre-built releases:
  - Stable release branches: OpenWrt tries to create a stable release branch once a year and will have maintenance releases that get pre-built images/packages several times during the life of that branch.
