Hey everyone,
I would like to install a serial port on my wndr3300 so I could really test out dd-wrt. I want the serial port just encase I really brick the darn thing. I read the wndr3300 wiki and looked at the pictures. I just have a couple of questions before I install my serial port.
can anybody recommend rs232 to TTL converter parts? I would like to stick with a serial port and not with a usb end.
what type of serial cable will I need to connect my PC to the serial port of the wndr3300 (null modem, etc).
is this a definite soldering job? Or can I buy a adapter pin out to connect to the board?
When I go to set the wires on the board do I need to cross the TX and RX or do I just match up 1 to 1?
Thank you, but most the credit goes to the user's and Guru's of this board. I just collect all the info, add my 2 cents and there you have it. _________________ The New Me
