Hi all!
I also want to install OpenWrt on my USR5463, but I can find any wiki entries for that router.
Link http://wiki.openwrt.org/usr5463 goes nowhere anymore.

Can somebody please help me and tell me how to do it, or maybe USR 5463 isn't supported at all?

Hi. I'm one of the few proud USR5463 owners and want to make the most out of that little black'n'white box.

That link http://wiki.openwrt.org/usr5463 might have been a great help, if it would be still up. But it's gone since the last revamp of the wiki page, i assume. So, my first question is, Is there still a backup of that page? Where can I find it? Did anyone or any searchengine saved/cache it?

If not: Could somebody reconstruct what was written in it. Which kamikaze version should we use? Were there any downsides? (Hardware components/functions, that didn't work anymore)

And yeah I'm not ashamed to dig this corpse of a topic up again, as nobody bothered to comment on the dead link in the first place. ^^

Didn't find anything under toh / u.s.robotics / USR5463, but I looked further and found this:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/hardware/us_robotics

Sadly, still not what I was looking for. So I opened the casing of my router, took photos, wrote down as much specs as I could, continued my search on the web and created a collage. Here's what I got so far:

Would be great, if someone would mirror that pic on this server.[/spoiler]

Specs: (Some mistakes might have found their way in here. Tiny letters are tiny.)

141400520017J REV:01 (The board itself)

ISSI IS42S16400B-7TL G6014200M 0652 (Ram)

IC+ IP175C LF 0703C13 VPK4359.1 (Switch)

UTC 1412 L ja T0LA

APM9435 XIC3V

MI0652M 34063M

(That one was hard. Look at the picture.)
WG-805G LF-05 L14 V0.04 1606

The mainchipset is hidden under cooling ribs. Therefore I couldn't identify it. But the boardnumber itself yielded some results. Seemingly the innards of the USR5463 is identical with some other routers. On a closer look it's only the board:

Belkin AWGR54
http://badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12945

AirTies AP-400 (Even the fricking casing is the same.)

Even that guy here:
http://www.seattlewireless.net/Belkin_F … RAXWG4005G

So I guess the Atheros AR2317-AC1A or AR5315PLUS (System-on-chip) it is.

I still have to have a look into this matter, maybe even into my router again.

EDIT:
Believing this guy http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=84068 the SoC is an Atheros Ap51 or
AR5315plus (openWRT oldwiki Belkin F5D7230-4 http://wiki.openwrt.org/doku.php?id=old … fhardware) or
AR2315a (http://wireless80211.wordpress.com/2009 … eros-ap51/).
Apparently they are all the same. hmm I go with Ap51.

The configuration of the USR5463 is an Ap51 with 8MB SDRAM and 2MB flash memory

I keep searching.
