Linksys E2100L
Atheros AP81 reference design with USB & IEEE 802.11bgn. This is essentially a hardware clone of the WRT160NL with more RAM.
Supported Versions
- See exploration thread here: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=24244
Hardware Highlights
The internal serial port has the same issues with the FTDI serial adapter as with the WRT160NL. Using an older transformer-based power supply did not help.
