Hi, im trying to install openwert in this chiness stuff, is a clone of WR703N. The problema i have, when i tryed to solder serial, i damaged pad of TP_IN and OUT. Any way for try to connect like some direct trace to chipset? or another solotion instead of send to trash...

Greets and thx for the time for read

If it is the SAME as wr703n, c55 west is out and c57 north is in. With very small wire (like out of a cat5 cable) you should be able to solder to the appropriate side of those components. Practice on a spare circuit board: you need to be quick to avoid damaging the caps.

The discussion might have continued from here.
