Evening-
I started this thread over on the general forum in regards to the Linksys RE6400 Extender. It has a nice ethernet port and I had intended on converting it to an Access Point for the upstairs. I'm having a heck of a time getting into the uboot though- I finally got the BOOTP broadcast by holding down the reset, typing 1234567890, and releasing it. Odd server/client IPs, too.

I do have a chip programmer and I've dumped the contents of the original. I can also program or modify it as needed, so if there's another close uboot I could use that is a bit friendlier without the password I'd be even happier.
I still am working on getting openwrt to build properly in my environment (ubuntu, virtual). Suggestions welcome there for the mediatek chips.
Thanks ever so much.
