Hey there! I just got a new router and thus I wanted to experiment with my old router, the Sitecom WL-351. This is the first time I have ever tried to install custom firmware on a router.
I am following this wiki page: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/sitecom/wl-351
Alright, so the problem I am having is that even though I can receive information from the router, I can't send any keystrokes to it. After trying both wires and headers, resoldering them both multiple times and testing the connections multiple times with a continuity tester I am certain the solder connections are good.
I don't think it is the USB-to-Serial adapter I use either as I have tried it with both my adapter and an Arduino (with 3v3 lvl converter). With both devices the TX light is flickering.
I have no clue what I am doing wrong, or how I can solve this and I hope someone can help me with this problem.
This is the output I get from the router.
