 ======TP-Link TL-WDR3600======
 Dual Band (concurrent) and Gigabit Ethernet.
-Advertised as 600 Mbps it is Dual-Stream (2x2) on the 2.4 Ghz Band and Dual-Stream (2x2) on the 5 Ghz Band.
+Advertised as 600 Mbps it is Dual-Stream (2x2) on the 2.4 Ghz Band and Dual-Stream (2x2) on the 5 Ghz Band. This wiki entry is fairly brief, but most things in the [[.:TL-WDR4300|TP-Link TL-WDR4300]] wiki entry apply here.
 ===== Supported Versions =====
 ^ Version/Model ^Release Date ^ OpenWrt Version Supported ^ Model Specific Notes ^
 | 1.1 | 2012/07| trunk [[https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/33219|r33219]] | Similar to [[.:TL-WDR4300|TP-Link TL-WDR4300]] |
+The latest firmware available is the release build [[http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09/ar71xx/generic/|Attitude Adjustment 12.09]] or the trunk build [[http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/|Barrier Breaker]], with working ethernet and dual-band wireless (disabled by default). If your wireless cannot be enabled when using wide channel modes, this may be due to the friendly neighbour "feature" that prohibits operation of such a mode and you may have to use the standard modes before wireless can be enabled.

+==== Hardware Modifications ====
+=== USB Modification ===
+The task was to make ext-root without using the default ports.
+It turns out that the GL850G chipset used by the TP-Link in WDR3600/4300/4900 models can handle up to four ports.
+{{:media:gl850g.png|}}
+Analysing the router's PCB it appears that pins 8(D-), 9(D+), 11(D-) and 12(D+) are unused.
+Aditionaly each factory USB port has separate power section.
+GND is at the TP7 pin point. +5 V was taken directly from the MOSFET.
