| + | This device is supported by OpenWrt since Chaos Calmer 15.05 official release. Supported features include Ethernet, USB, and Wi-Fi partially. As usual with Broadcom devices, the integrated DSL modem is not supported, and Wi-Fi functionality is limited to 802.11b/g only modes. If you need the DSL modem or the Wi-Fi 802.1n to be functional, please, don't flash this box with OpenWrt. | ||
| - | This router is fully compatible with OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05 official release. Everything is supported (Ethernet, USB, wifi) with the exception of ADSL modem. If you need the ADSL modem part don't upgrade this box to OpenWrt. | ||

| - | The TG582n comes in at least three distinct hardware variants distinguished by their board name (DANT-1, DANT-T, DANT-V).

| - | The DANT-1 boards come with 16 MiB Flash. This chip is dual bank and able to store 2 firmware images and switch between them when the TG582n runs on stock firmware.

| + | === Alternatively using USBasp programmer and solderless clip(s) === | ||
| + | The connection to the 16 pin flash IC can also be made without soldering by using a sop16 clip. | ||
| + | Actually, when you do not have such a clip, but two pieces of a sop8 clip, the two can be used side by side. | ||
| + | The latter is doable because as it happens on either side of the IC only the two first pins need to be connected (see schematic). | ||
| + | The center 4 pins on opposite sides give room for the extra width of the 8 pin clips, and 2x2 pins of either clip stick out beyond the IC and touch nothing. | ||
| + | Connection between the flash IC and the the low cost USBasp programmer is as follows, the number being the IC pin starting at 1 at the dot and going ccw. | ||
