with thanks to Kaloz, also note the different JTAG(?) connector (a normal one)

Mostly it's like an 1.40, but a bit cheaper in manufacturing.

The 1.40 connector was just replaced by this header
- this is not a JTAG, but an external UART connector.

whehehe.. ít'll always be cheaper.. otherwise it will cost money to change the design...Originally posted by Oleg

Just thinking.. the communication part of the router is on a mini-pci... i wonder what would happen if we would replace the stock mini-pci (broadcom) with an new one, containing an atheros comm-chip.. ;-)

Second antenna?
Has anyone tried to connect a second antenna ? the MiniPCI card has only the Aux connected.. is it possible to solder a second wire to the Main connection on the MINIPCI board ?
would be quite nice to have 2 antennas especially if we wanted to have an Directional antenna + standard Omni antenna....
i also have a D-Link 624 and that device HAS 2 antennas connected to the MINIPCI...
We love modding....

Cool. USB 2.0 host!
Can you please make hi-res image for the PCB?
Administrator
Just a guess - is it wl500g.Deluxe?
On the other hand it looks like 2.40 posted above... Wrong labeling? 4333 according to specs is the usb 2.0 client designed for wi-fi cards...

i don't know whether there is any change to the pcb at all, but i'll post some pictures.
the sticker on the bottom of the unit claims it's a normal "Model: WL-500g".

If this unit runs 1.7.x.x firmware can you please post dmesg output? I'm interested in boot kernel messages to clarify.
Also, try running cat /proc/cpuinfo
Senior Member
It is currently running your 1.7.5.9-3 firmware (slightly modified, to add support for my Alcatel SpeedTouch USB).
Afaik the kernel-startup-messages are the same as the ones posted by other users on this forum.
The attached file contains dmesg output, /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/pci.

As far as I know only one antenna from a diversity set of antenna's is used at a time.... Each packet is scanned and the antenna with the best signal receives the packet. It's like an old (el cheapo) card stereo. Have you ever stopped before a traffic light and heared noise coming out of the speakers, move the car a little bit and the signal gets better. This is exactly the same with a WiFi diversity antenna.
Also both antenna should be pointing the same direction for the best signal. (I often see AP's with one antenna to the left, and one to the right. but this is wrong.)
