WL-HDD sdram from 16 to 32MB
This mod will increase the built in memory from 16MB to 32MB, just to be able run more services on the router, etc. Beware, that this mod requires real strong soldering skills! And usual disclaimer: keep in mind that you do it on
your own risk, its very easy to brick the router completely.
What do you need to perform this mod?
- ong soldering skills and some equipment
- A TSOP86-II packaged SDRAM chip organized as 8Mx32. e.g. IS42S32800B-7TL
There is no easy way to get those chips (and perhaps not cheap), so search the web for the parts (e.g. farnell.com, etc.).
Doing it
Now you have to let the router boot and do
Code:
nvram set sdram_init=0x0C19
nvram commit
reboot
and you’re done with 32MB!
Cheers,

Succesfully added more RAM to my WL-HDD...
Hi there,
i succesfully upgraded my WL-HDD and have now 32MB of RAM activated.
The MT48LC8M32B2P-6 from Micron seems to work very well. memtest reports no errors and the systems is running perfectly. Actually i only changed "sdram_init" from 0x0419 to 0x0C19.
