Hello!
I bought this "wifi repeater" 2 years ago. I would like to mod it to use USB flash drives (in order to "extend" the memory).
This repeater is very very similar to WNR2000(v3?), and it has the "AR7241" CPU (I will upload some photos later).
I did the "hardware" part, soldering the USB connector to CPU like other usb mods (something like this: http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6154/usb740nv4png.jpg)
I checked all voltages with a multimeter, and 5v is ok! (I used a 7805 regulator from 12v source), so I think I need some software tricks to make it recognizable.
I successfully flashed it with an OpenWRT pre-built image for the WNR2000v3, and it works!
My question is: How can I add the USB support to this router? I configured my linux machine to build an OpenWRT image.
P.S: can I use an SD card to extend the memory? I would like to install Luci but the SPI flash memory is only 4MB...

Thanks in advance,

Alessio.

I did it! here is the bootlog:

How can I use this flash drive to extend the memory?
