Very recently I purchased this ASUS router. Compared to my Cisco Linksys WRTSL54GS it has the advantage of two USB 2.0 sockets. And I fear that my soldering pins onto the Linksys board broke some serial connections. At least I must state that the serial connection is quite unreliable meanwhile. So, next try.

I will dedicate this device to my friends from DB0MHB and give them digital access to their systems over the internet.

2 Basic installation procedure

Installing OpenWRT on it is really easy. Take a pen and hold down the restore button. Then unplug and reconnect power. Keep reset pressed until the power diode starts blinking. This is the time to start the flashing process:

tftp 192.168.1.1
> binary
> trace
> put openwrt-brcm47xx-2.6-squashfs.trx

In my example, the image must reside in your current working directory. Then wait six minutes. Then powercycle the router. telnet to 192.168.1.1 and you're in. There's no passwd.

Then you can hack the little box to your needs.
