652brp v.2 not ar9130 chip !

Just purchased a TEW-632BRP 1.2R

Here are my photos:

Big Chip = Atheros AR9130-AC1E 6R0D14164.1B 0736
Small chip = AR8216-AH1E B71988B 0728

Hope this is helpful...any ideas what the difference is b/t 1.1R & 1.2R?

The stock firmware is ver1.10b0013 as indicated on the box.

I have not powered it up yet, but I am looking to flash with DD-WRT.

Hope this is helpful. 

Oh yes, this model comes with removable antennae, FWIW.

heard a rumour about TEW 652BRP generation 2.x

non-checked

but someone said they are based on same platform as 651BRP and features Realtek CPU RTL8196B

I'm having problems using the u-boot flash routine (DIR-615 Firmware Upgrade
System) on a TEW-632-BRP v. A1.0R.

I also have a TEW-652-BRP v1.1R and an FR-54-RTR (DIR-600 A1), and I have not
had any problem using the same routine to flash either of those.  Those both
use 192.168.0.1 instead.

Why:
It is currently working with Backfire rc1, but from past experience, I have
messed up before and broken network connectivity enough that I am not able to
get into a router to fix it.  Matter of fact, when I first tried using it,
I thought, I had messed something up.

How:
The usual mechanism is to disconnect the power, hold down the reset pin,
re-apply power, wait 30 seconds, release reset pin.  This gets me into
the "DIR-615 Firmware Upgrade System" (v 1.0.0.1 Date 2007/07/17) at
http://192.168.10.1/.

I've also tried doing a 30-30-30 reset, but it doesn't seem to matter.

One of 2 things seems to happen:
. Image is uploaded and I get bad hardware id image message.
  (TEW-632-BRP images seem to do this: AP81-AR9130-RT-070614-00)
. Image is uploaded and browser continues to spin.
  (DIR-615 or TEW-652-BRP images seem to do this: AP81-AR9130-RT-070614-02)
  It never makes it to the "Device is Upgrading the Firmware" screen.

I'm tempted to attempt copying the u-boot "partition" from my TEW-652-BRP
to my TEW-632-BRP (with dd and mtd), but I don't know if it's safe to do
it, and I'm not good with a soldering iron.

Have you flashed DIR-615 f/w at some point? Sounds to me like the flag has been set and would require a couple of zeros in front of the AP81 (00AP81-AR9130-RT-070614-02). If so, you would need an editor like Notepad++ to change the file ID, last line of the flash.

Also, are you using a static IP on your PC for flashing with only the PC connected to LAN. Also, Windows Internet explorer has worked in the past whereas Firefox and Google Chrome has failed to flash in Recovery mode.

Actually, it's normal for the u-boot loader to take the DIR-615 C1 image,
but the regular interface to take the system-specific image.

My Trendnet TEW-652-BRP takes the DIR-615 C1 image, and my
FR-54RTR takes the DIR-600 A1 image.

I've also tried prepending the image id with 00, but that doesn't seem to help.

I use a Mac, so no IE for me.
I've tried Firefox and Safari; no love.
Running too old a version to try Chrome; guess I could try Opera.

It works fine for the other systems; I think the issue with Firefox for Windows
is that the networking gets jiggered in the middle of the upgrade; in this case,
it doesn't seem to do anything after the image uploads.

Opera 10.10 worked.

The image that was finally taken was the one with the TEW-632BRP image id (AP81-AR9130-RT-070614-00).

I'm still surprised I had to change to Opera, as I've never had any problems
with my other 2 routers.

BTW, forum suggests, that wpad (or wpad-mini) is defautl package, combining hostapd[-mini] with wpa-supplicant.

Alas, 4MB flash is really very little... Very... :-( I cannot queeze none of uci statistics package w/o sacrificing much of the rest :-/

Pity this routers do not have USB or cardreader pinouts - do they ? It could alow for more space...

What is the point of luci-fastindex there ?
Seems there is no "hide SSID" option in LUCI ?

BTW, when WAN ethernet changes DHCP, OpenWRT does not hear this. Something missed :-(

Luci-fastindex was sometimes a necessity for me to use the Luci web interface when I was using Kamikaze trunk snapshots. I was also at the time using Windows IE8; never tried Firefox or Google Chrome because the issues some had flashing with it. I didn't always have to d/l it to make the web interface work but it was buggy sometimes.

All I can say is try to do without it and try other web browsers to see what works best for you. I tried several different package options to try to personalize the router for my needs but I also found that I didn't need much configuration at all to work with wired ETHERNET only. The more you learn to configure without the web interface, more room saved for other packages.

My Dir-615, C1 is now a standby router; haven't tried Backfire on it yet.

thanks

no, i can't say web interface takes that much of space. soem packages like luci-statistics and luci-livestats, their dependencies weight much

For exampe Wi-Fi packages take a lot. And i need Wifi - if i only needed wired, i'd stay with my old DLink 607. Those routers i puchased exactly for 2-antenna MIMO, and MIMO was not cheap back then :-)

and what is your main router now ?

My main router is Asus RT-N16; I'm using Teddy Bear beta Tomato on it.  I don't think the router is at it's potential yet but there's a lot of fixes and planned features to be added there. I hope OpenWrt will pick that router as a development project. Some work being done here but not a working kernel yet.

Oh yeah, on the post you had quoted, I don't think the opkg install luci-theme-openwrtlight is a good idea unless compiling. I don't know of any way to actually remove a package and replace it with a smaller one without actually losing more space. I never got the answer I was looking for in this thread about doing this properly and making space available for other packages. One thing I tried to do was estimate space available by testing a package install for fit by using the opkg install package --test in TELNET. This helped me decide quicker which packages I needed and I tested a lot of combinations to try to come up with one that worked with the least amount of flash used.

Wireless is more of an issue but there may still be some that are sharing compiled flashes. I had requested in this thread for those that share to try to come up with two compiled f/w's to address both wired and wireless applications due to the small amount of flash available.

IDK if frat's had any of these ideas addressed but he posted some back in December. IDK if he ever got wireless-N integrated either but maybe you can try one of his recent flashes: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 67#p100067

Good luck; I feel there is a better working solution for these router despite the small flash space.

> I was looking for in this thread about doing this properly and making space available for other packages
It is not possible, you should make you're own image from scratch, not use pre-made image.

It is like deleting fiels on CD-R/DVD-R - you do not delete them, you hide them with specially crafted stub, which consumes some space itself.

> I feel there is a better working solution
on chinese mail-shops they offer $39 router, that is RAllink-based and generayl have same 2xMIMO 802.11n, 4+! ethernet, 4MB Flash - if not another CPU, it would be very similar. And there was person, who told, that both DD-WRT and OpenWRT sucks, and he woulld make his own firmware. So, myabe there would be better thing.

As of now, it works, and still i like it more than stock fw.

The onyl problem, UDP Multicast TV no more works.
Be it kernel, or IGMPProxy or IPTables - i cannot figure out yet. I am not linuxoid and am not easy at such tasks.

> Asus RT-N16
128MB RAM and 2x USB is cool. However 3xMIMO is overkill
If it not costed as three of TEW-652 :-)

And how much flash storage it has ?

32MB Flash

I have a d link 615 d2 on to DD-WRT, Any help how i can get it on to openWRT?

> Model: d link 615 d2

you shoud ask in topics about Ralink based systems.
this topic is about Atheros-based "DLink DIR-615 C1"

615-D is another system and has no relation to this topic.

I installed 'openwrt-ar71xx-dir-615-c1-squashfs-factory.bin' following the steps from wiki (http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dir-615). I was not getting any internet connection when uing dd-wrt. As there was not much help there, i tried open-wrt. I have no internet connection with open-wrt too. Nothing through ethernet port nor through wifi. May be the routher has gone bad. I am trying to revert back to the original firmware. But, i am not sure how to load the original firmware now through my windows 7 pc. I am trying to follow the options given in http://wiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/openwrt … installing. I am not able use mtd as the router spits back saying bad url. Obviously, it is not having internet connection. Windows 7 doesn't have tftp and the wiki says it should be less than 3mb. The original firmware is 3.8 mb. Pls help

whart is exactly your model number for the device ? vendor, full model name, full version ?

you tell, you flashed OpenWRT onto some unknown blockbox, no one can help you with unknown thing.

> The original firmware is 3.8 mb.
Probably because internal disk is 4 mb and no larger firmaware could fit.

To restore original fw try googling for emergent recovery of your device. DD-WRT and other forums usually have a bunch of recipes. I used such to recover my TrendNet-652-1.0 device, after tweaking OpenWRT settings bricked it.

Any support for TEW-631BRP?

631BRP-1 or 631BRP-2 ?

Tew-631brp Hw: V3.0

Sorry, all below comes about 632, not 631
Never heard of support of 631
-----------
thats is yet another model
the known and supported model is HW 1.0 and 1.1
th known and unsupported model in HW 2.0
HW 3 is even unknown yet :-)

If you already flashed your D-Link DIR-615-C1 with OpenWrt, first try to access FailSafe mode. If it doesn't work for you, then try to reflash the firmware.

Trendnet TEW-632BRP - X-Wrt - # 2.8.1 Recovery mode - UBoot httpd

Hi

Is it possible to add USB functionality to Trendnet 632 BRP ?
I have found something marked as "CON1" at 632BRP board.
Please look at photo: http://upmyphoto.com/image/26559/87c1026
What is it ? Unsoldered USB connector or something else ???

That almost looks like an antenna connector based on what ive seen before, doesnt appear to have enough traces on the board to be usb (looks like 3, and two of those look like grounds)
