I seem to remember that on some routers RX is not connected - you may have to install a jumper or a few components.

thanks for your reply so to be clear the soldered rx is not in reality an rx or can you clarify more so i can communicate with the router .
here's a picture of the motherboard

i67 .tinypic.com /2dsntli.jpg      ( remove spaces )

the first pin from the left is connected RX and the fourth is TX  , the second from the left is the GND .
