You do not need full flash. Just flash a bootloader.

my mn700's power LED is alternating colors, none of the other leds come on, even when i put a molded streight thru cable between my laptop and the router. JTAG's work w/o a problem.
i have erased whole
i uploaded modified CFE i made in linux
pulled power plug waited 20 seconds
pluged it in and it sends me right into the alternating LED
so i plug in my ethernet, the corrisponding led does NOT light up, windows says its unpluged.
i use the asus tool and it doesn't even start to look.
if i plug my ethernet into the WAN port it does light up and flash when data is being xmitted or recved but the asus tool does not work.

i am also very very new to this... so when people mention the pin 10 or what ever trick i have no clue what you are talking about! lol i have a decent understanding of linux and a strong background in windows. i am also fairly decent at electronics.

anyone in toronto area with JTAG cable?
hi. i have an MN700 and i'd like to replace the firmware. problem is: i have two left hands when it comes to electronics -- i doubt i'd be able to solder anything together. making my own cable seems pretty complex for me. i don't know where to get the requisite components or anything. i wonder, is there anyone in the greater Toronto area with a cable i could borrow?

hey everyone i seemed to have knocked off part L10 off my board its a tiny little sucker but does any one know what it is? for now i have a glob of solder over where it is suppose to be and everything seems ok so far... i've included a pic of where it is. any help will be appriciated!!! (btw i used a pic of a mn700 with the thing still where its suppose to be!)

even with a glob of solder over where its suppose to be it works and im now running the asus software... now is there a way to get usb on the mn700? i found treads where people mentioned it but never any definitive yes or no

Hi
Hard to tell from the picture where it is for, but L10 name let me assume it was an inductivity. Seems not to be for the Oszillator abouve, and not clearly for the power supply. Shorting it is a clever idea, and if its working this way, dont thing about again.

I had some trouble with my mn700 in May, and other projects took priority, so i ignored it until xmas break.
I have resurrected it, and added some notes to the openwrt wiki.
fwiw, the most recent version of Oleg's firmware i tried on my mn-700 exhibited the same random reboots as were experienced with the et ethernet driver in openwrt whiterussian rc4.
My mn-700 is now running whiterussian rc6 and has been quite stable for about a day since i put it in place of the wrt54gs v.2 i ebayed out of frustration in june.
In whiterussian rc6 the only thing that doesn't work out of the box is the power LED.
Just thought I'd pop in and add some additional data points for anyone considering this hack.

First to start off. Many thanks to the contributers of this hack. and thank you Oleg for the bootimage.
Now with my experience. I have built my jtag cable but cannot get it to detect with my computer's parallel port. any tips? I have resolder all wires but still no go.
