I have a ADSL2+ modem&router .

I tried to install openwrt on it . I tried to connect to that via serial port .

GND ---- GND
TX    ---- RX
RX   ---- TX
with 115200 , 8, 1 ,none

I tried some software like putty , realterm ,...
but have any chance to connect to that .
also I tried others baudrate like 9600 ,.... , 115200

Do I need some special cable ?
or I missing some thing ?
, .... ?

Thanks

mehrzadmo: it may be useful to write the model numberof this device. I can suggest you a very handy tool for discovering that kind of things -> http://www.jtagulator.com/

Use some linux OS and minicom. Start "minicom -s" and configure the serial connector you would like to use. Probably thats /dev/ttyUSB0 .
Now you can turn on the device and read the serial information you get from it.

The discussion might have continued from here.
