I have TP-Link TL-WR941ND router, hardware version 2. It's atheros based, i would like to flash it with DD-WRT. Is it possible? Pics here: http://shareua.com/photos/show/316261/CIMG0293.JPG http://shareua.com/photos/show/316271/CIMG0294.JPG I think i found serial connector (2'nd pic, left corner from top, at left from label C376). It has: Hynix 802A memory flash, Atheros AR9132-AC1E CPU.

can't figure myself how much ram.
fcc id is NOT imprinted on it, so i can't say it too.

it's using madwifi driver for wireless and vxworks as operating system + busybox and some tp-link NOT opensource httpd for config.

here is os files i managed to decrypt from firmware file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/119399738/SquashFS.gz.html

here is original firmware:
http://www.tp-link.com/english/soft/2008512151728.rar

according to this i have there Hynix HY5DU561622ETP-5 flash rev. C

googled - can't find anything
but since original firmware file (gzipped) is about 3.54 mb and 7.1 mb unpacked i think it's 8mb (at least) flash...
according to this:

20. CC&C
WA-6208-V2

Atheros AR9132, 200MHz
8MB
16MB

mine has similar cpu. and probably it's too 8 mb flash and 16 ram

on your 1st pic on the right side of the switch chip...beyond the tape should be the serial port.

you probably need a ttl level shifter.

in general redboot is accessible via port 9000 on a fixed ip. but this ip is vendor and board specific and hard to find. _________________ Forum Guidelines...How to get help & Forum Rules & RTFM/STFW & Its not that hard to throw some buzzwords into the WIKI search _________________ I'm NOT rude, just offer pure facts! _________________ TP-Link (Atheros) debrick service in EU
