Atheros, Rev A model.

The device is a wireless G router with

• 1 not-detachable antenna
• 5 port switch
• 4 MB Flash
• 16 MB SDRAM

TODO.

TODO.

Note: This will void your warranty!

1. There are two screws underneath the rubber feet at the front of the device. Remove those.
2. Two additional screws are freely removeable at the bottom of the case. Don't forget these
3. Remove the top of the case with the transparent plastic piece.

The serial port is the only pin header on the board The pinout is GND|TX|RX|VCC(3.3), where the ground pin is towards the front of the unit. The bootloader (RedBoot) and the original Asus firmware use a baudrate of 9600 with 8N1.

(this is kinda screwed up)
