I tried to debrick my wr740n with dabyd64's tutorial. Serial port soldering done, but when i want to connect via putty i get the attached characters.
com settings are correct:
115.200 baud
8 bit data
1 bit stop
no parity
no flow control
Did anyone see something like that?
Thank you in advance
If you see weird chars on putty probably you use usb to RS232 converter. You need to use USB to TTL. Check the picture :

Thank you. I hope/ guess it doesn't need some hardware mod/ circuit board connecting/ shorting that I read about somewhere?

@KrypteX
I just got a WR740N v4 router. My main router is an 1043ND where I use build 27506.
I see that you also use a WR740N router, but with build 23720. Are there any reasons why you use such an old build, or I can safely go with 27506?
Another questions, do I need to flash first from stock to Build 21061 and then to 27506 or this step is not required anymore?
Any limitations that are not working on WR740N and 27506? Nothing fancy, just stable wifi, ssh, LAN.
Thanks!
