 These black boxes were given away with a BT broadband subscription.  They comes in two variants labelled Type A and Type B.  The two look identical, and although they provide the same functionality, they are very different on the inside. These black boxes were given away with a BT broadband subscription.  They comes in two variants labelled Type A and Type B.  The two look identical, and although they provide the same functionality, they are very different on the inside.

 +Some users reported after installing the new CFE, if the UART serial port is left disconnected, the bootloader always stops avoiding to load Openwrt. A solution is to pull the UART RX to ground (0V) with a wire. Then OpenWrt will boot automatically without the serial cable connected.

 Using the OEM firmware for flashing the new bootloader might be also possible.  Please post here or at the forum topic if you work out how to do it. Using the OEM firmware for flashing the new bootloader might be also possible.  Please post here or at the forum topic if you work out how to do it.
