 +
 +
 +Firmware:
 +
 +  - currently, wli-tx4-ag300n-squashfs-sysupgrade images don't work. The root filesystem is not recognized which results in a kernel panic.
 +  - wzr-agl300nh-squashfs-sysupgrade images will boot, but you do not get network access.
 +  - You can build a patched, bootable image using OpenWrt-ImageBuilder by replacing the partition label "linux" by "firmware" near line 42 in target/linux/ramips/dts/WLI-TX4-AG300N.dts,  but results are similar as with the agl300nh image.
 +
 +Flashing:
 +
 +  - Send file via TFTP. (IP: 192.168.11.1; only accepts oem roms; 4 sec time window)
 +  - Set up a TFTP server on you PC and connect a serial cable (with a 3.3V TTL level converter). Hit 2 when prompted during reboot on the console. Specify IP addresses and file name after confirming to flash the firmware.
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Flash Layout ====
 +| FIXME Need Flash Layout for this device! |
 +Please check out the article [[docs:techref:flash.layout]]. It contains an example and a couple of explanations.
 +
 +==== OEM easy installation ====
 +
 +| FIXME Need OEM install this particular device! |
 +
 +==== Upgrading OpenWrt ====
 +->  [[docs:guide-user:installation:generic.sysupgrade]]
 +
 +If you have already installed OpenWrt and like to reflash for e.g. upgrading to a new OpenWrt version you can upgrade using the mtd command line tool. It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.
 +
 +=== LuCI Web Upgrade Process ===
 +
 +  * Browse to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/ LuCI Upgrade URL
 +  * Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI
 +  * Wait for reboot
 +
 +=== Terminal Upgrade Process ===
 +
 +  * Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1
 +  * Use the following commands to upgrade.
 +
 +<code>
 +cd /tmp/
 +wget http://http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc
 +sysupgrade /tmp/xxx.abc
 +</code>
 +
 +  *If sysupgrade does not support this router, use the following commands.
 +
 +<code>
 +cd /tmp/
 +wget http://http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc
 +mtd write /tmp/xxx.abc linux && reboot</code>
 +
 +
 +===== Basic configuration =====
 +-> [[docs:guide-quick-start:checks_and_troubleshooting|Basic configuration]] After flashing, proceed with this.\\
 +Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.
 +
 +
 +===== Specific Configuration =====
 +==== Interfaces ====
 +| FIXME Need config instructions for this device! |
 +The default network configuration is:
 +^ Interface Name ^ Description ^ Default configuration ^
 +| br-lan | LAN & WiFi | 192.168.1.1/24 | 
 +| vlan0 (eth0.0) | LAN ports (1 to 4) | None | 
 +| wl0 | WiFi | Disabled | 
 +
 +==== Switch Ports (for VLANs) ====
 +| FIXME Need VLAN mapping for this device! |
 +
 +==== Failsafe mode ====
 +-> [[docs:guide-user:troubleshooting:failsafe_and_factory_reset]]
 +
 +==== Buttons ====
 +-> [[docs:guide-user:hardware:hardware.button]] on howto use and configure the hardware button(s).
 +
 +The Buffalo WLI-TX4-AG300N has two buttons. They are Power and Security. Here, we merely name the buttons, so we can use them in the above Howto:
 +^ BUTTON ^ Event ^
 +| Power | reset |
