Topic: TL-WDR3600 - Ethernet links dead

Hi,

After a lightning strike, the ADSL modem blown up and mu TL-WR3600 ethernet ports are now dead sad

I want to use the router as a Wifi extender. How can I access the setup console ? Is it possible thru the USB port ? Is there any hardware hack ?

By the way, if anybody have this device's schematics, it would be great !

Thanks

FX

Hi!


Take a look at Serie U Boot
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr3600

I think you can:
1. connect over serial
2, mount root_fs
3. make your config over serial.
4. reboot
5. Then you will have Wifi access to your Router.

best regards.
