Hi I've see few modifications when people success added USB port on WRT54 routers, so I wonder if is possible same on E1200 ?

I got soldering skills and basic electronic (just basic) but I dont have schematic for that board and even with that will need some help to figureout how to.

So if anyone got idea, please put the word on this topic.

And yes I need that because I would like run some PBX server on that router.

thank you in advance

PS: here is links how someone did that, but diferent models.

E1200 v2 use BCM5357C0 and it seems that BCM5357C0 doesn't have USB chip-wise. See this wiki: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/b43/soc

WRT-54G v2 on the link you provided uses BCM4712 which has USB1.1 chip-wise.

Hence, it seems like it is impossible to add USB to E1200 v2.
