Not at the moment, I'm at work.

Currently, I've not even unboxed the EA6700!!!
I basically purchased it as an impluse buy a weekend ago (£50/$80). I was going to replace my crappy Sky Hub router with it but I then found out that it wasnt a simple task.

I could just link it to the Sky Router & have that connect to the Fibre/Cable Modem, but it would mean having 2 routers & another ac extension lead (run out of plug sockets!)

Does the firmware link above provide the command line (Putty)? If so, I might flash the firmware to the 6700 tonight & have a bash at getting it to connect.

Google how putty and SSH works, it should work in the same way it would work on dd-wrt. BTW where did you get that router for that cheap?

PC World. They had an offer on which knocked £60 of the router (£160 to £100), then had a 50% sale on which took it down to £50!! Bargain!!

I'll flash the firmware tonight & have a mess. Hopefully wont brick it!!

Forgot to ask - is the firmware with dropbear configured on it the 'new-firmware.bin' link you provided.

Thanks.

Yes, it should be what I attached, the person who made it said it worked so give it a try.

DO NOT 30-30-30 or erase nvram newer routers! It can brick them.

Yep, that would be my archiving project. BTW someone apparently got dropbear working on that OEM code.


tsk tsk tsk sharing someone's work without giving credit.

Got a better version now with some scripts rewritten, but for advanced users only. share on request

lightsword didn't do it. i did and shared FW with him on another forum.

firmware mod kit (https://code.google.com/p/firmware-mod-kit/) is the toolset i used to unpack current firmware, then found out there's no dropbear in it, so i compiled sources from linksys and placed dropbear in.

1 or 2 nights figuring out how init scripts work on linksys `smart` router and happy days

I got my EA6700 router last week and I'm disappointed by the lack of Expert-Functionality.

Best Joke is Linksys's "Advanced Routing" section.

Brainslayer prepared a build for the EA6700 Very Happy

Please read Peacock thread ... and remember these are only TEST builds!

If you don't know how to fix it, if it get's broken, don't flash it!

Anyone want to report if there are issues with the build? Which linksys build did you have?

I will upgrade today and post my results.
