Since I have an Asus WL-520gu, can i skip the hardware modification and load the mega instead of the std nokaid?

I have not undersood one point.

As far as I can see in the pictures, You used only one condenser (0,1uF). But in your message, You mention about two condenser.

C9 (C130) means that condenser must be placed on C9 OR C130 OR any other place between +VCC and GND.

lightix - I just wanted to thank you for that write-up.

I just flashed my ASUS WL-520gU and it's running mega now! I've been trying to figure out how to get OpenVPN, JFFS, USB and SNMP all working together on the WL-520gU and haven't been able to... until now!

Thanks so much for the contribution. It really is appreciated.

I can load the mega directly on the 520GU or on a usb stick? Sorry, I'm a n00b. Thanks much.

@spoch

You cannot load the mega version directly on the WL-520GU (the router has only 4 MB flash). The mega version must be loaded in the USB stick (uncompress it with the Firmware Modification Kit and copy the root filesystem - the contents of "rootfs" folder - in the USB stick).

Kind regards.

I'm wondering if you had a USB Hard drive with it's own power supply, would this work too? Also I'm not really good with Linux. Can someone compile the needed stuff for the Mega version for this router?
