| + | |||
| + | COMFAST CF-EW72 V2 is known to be produced in two variants (**not versions**): | ||
| + | * COMFAST CF-EW72 V2 with MT7621AT and separate DDR RAM chip onboard. | ||
| + | * COMFAST CF-EW72 V2 with MT7621DAT with integrated RAM and no DDR RAM soldered chip onboard. | ||
| + | PCBs for both variants seem to be same. Firmware works for both. | ||
| + | |||
| + | COMFAST CF-EW72 V2 known to be sold both in unpainted cardboard box and colorful glossy cardboard box. | ||
| + | I guess, but not guarantee that colorful box is for new variant equipped with MT7621DAT SoC and no RAM chip. | ||
| + | Seems that devices also have different factory labels. | ||

| + | * :!: It is recommended NOT connect VCC pin as device powers from PoE.\\ | ||
| + | * :!: It is recommended to connect serial adapter through active (with separate power) USB hub. Avoid connecting to usb port connected to computer motherboard. CF-EW72 V2 has 48V on PCB, and if 48V will somehow hit your USB, it may damage your PC, including CPU. | ||
| + | * In some situations device may not start when RX pin is connected - so, connect it right after you see output from device. | ||
| + | * Connected RX also may cause random 5GHz Wi-Fi chip problems. | ||
