TP-Link RE220 v1

+1 for adding RE220 v1

Could use some help from those that wear the Ghengis Khan suit or the Wizard's hat.
I bought a refurb hoping to get v2, but got a v1.

Removing case is near impossible same case as the RE200

I ended up cutting away the case (front and back) on right edge of device about 1/3 the way down. I found four open pin holes, soldered in a head. Then I plugged cable into top 3 pins from top to bottom White, Green Black(GND) for my usb ttl adapter.

Shazam! got serial connection.

#1 Question, how do I stop the boot loader? It displays a menu, but just scrolls by like the "3" choice is hard coded.
