Adding WAN port

Adding a second Wi-Fi antenna Mod

The board cut section the track going to the built-in antenna (coil on the board), and part of a track udischy in Wi-Fi module and add a screen between the connector / cable external antenna.

Adding LED Mod

D2 - WPS
D4 - second USB port
D10 - ? (can be: WAN port on CPU)

Adding second USB port Mod

Need to unsolder not getting the circuit elements, such as, USB port, LED (D4), circuitry for power supply. This action turns the device D1 โ‡’ D2

Adding WAN port Mod

The board can be arranged WAN port (P4).

Need elements:

  1. P4 Ethernet port RJ45 1X1 connector without shield
  2. T2 Single 10/100 Base-tx Lan Magnetic: 12ps6121c.pdf
  3. R196, R197, R201, R202 75 Ohm 0805 size smd resistor
  4. ะก136 Electrolytic capacitor (I used 220uF*16V)
  5. U14 Unknown IC (just short circuit pads 3 & 5)

Adding WPS button Mod

The board involves the installation of a button (SW3) and LED (D2), it is necessary to check.

Original Firmware Info

The original GPL sourcecode v1.00 can be downloaded Here. It consist on a Linux 2.? kernel with binary Broadcom tools&drivers and sourcecode of the kernel and the rest of tools.

The lastest original firmware (v1.20 at 27.06.11) can be found Here

Tags
