Microrouter: TP-Link TL-WR710 V1.0
I picked it up at Amazon dot come for some $19.95 USD. Looks like a first generation one and that is good relating to what it is I want to do with it.
From the OpenWRT page:
This device has a similar form factor as the TL-WR800N. It has the Atheros AR9331 chipset and two Ethernet ports. Another similar device is the TL-WR703N.
Version sold in Switzerland, Poland, Turkey & Austria - TL-WR710N(EU) has 8MB flash chip and 32MB ram.
The International/Chinese Version has a 2MB flash chip. Good news is that you can replace 2MB flash chip with bigger one and then you can run OpenWrt on this device.
Mine appears to have a 256mb RAM chip and a 8Mb flash chip in it although I can only see 32Mb right now.
First hardware modification was to put a 5VDC power input cable to it. Amazing little device. Goals are:
1 - Serial connection add
2 - 3G/4G add
3 - Wireless mods
Easy firmware flash via the original TP-Link GUI
Testing right now utilizing a POE injector and converting power to 5VDC. I want to put device inside of my alarm panel and utilize the 12VDC built into the panel (with battery).BusyBox v1.19.4 (2013-12-14 13:44:40 PST) built-in shell (ash)
