 +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.

 +=== 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.
