- remove four screw
- gently and carefully detach upper cover by releasing the plastic clips/hooks (there are 8 of them: 3 in front, 2 right, 2 left and 1 in back)
Serial
→ port.serial general information about the serial port, serial port cable, etc.
Serial pinout is the J3 connector and is not the same as previous version (e.g. TD-W8970 v1.x)
it's actually opposite.
How to connect to the Serial Port of this specific device:

Connector | J3 |
Pins (from top to bottom) | (1)Tx, (2)Rx, (3)GND, (4)VCC (3.3V) |
DO NOT CONNECT VCC!
(Hint: If you are soldering headers to the board, you have to short two missing resistors beside Tx & Rx as shown in fcc photos of refernce board.)
