Good evening (at least over here in Germany
)
I bought the WNDR3700 two days ago and so far it is performing great with one exception - the web interface. It is the most crappy I have seen on a router.
Next step at your own risk!
So what to do? Take it apart and see what you can do. There are six TX9 screws of which four are hidden behind rubber feet. Screw them out and get to the PCB. There is a JP1 connector right next to the Atheros Core - the serial console.
Here is a pinout in case you need it:
1. Vcc
2. TxD
3. RxD
4. Gnd
WARNING: TTL level serial port! DO NOT use a normal serial cable!
What do we see? OpenWRT! I was surprised to see it since Vendors usually have their own Linux bundled together. Having OpenWRT should make it easier to get DD-WRT or something else running on the machine.
I have attached a bootlog in case somebody is interested. Feel free to distribute it in the *WRT forums or somewhere else.
