Today, i got a new Wireless Lite N router for JD20 (Around $28), and it works like a dream, in reality, the following is a sampleof the routers web GUI response headers<\/p>\n
Server: TP-LINK Router\nConnection: Keep-Alive\nWWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"XTECH 150Mbps Wireless Lite-N Router WR771LN\"\nContent-Length: 26344\nContent-Type: image\/jpeg\n\n200 OK<\/pre>\nSome Hanania Investment Group seems to be responsible for this new XTECH Brand, and for this router, it is well worth the money.<\/p>\n
The RJ45 eithernet cable mentioned on the outside as included is not included, but then again, why would i need 1 more eithernet cable.<\/p>\n
This model seems to be the same as
TP-WR741ND<\/del> TP-WR840N (since the TP-WR741ND is the same but with a detachable antenna), and if you know what little endian, big endian, and a hex editor are, you may be able to put the “Open Sourced” TP-LINK software back on this hardware.<\/p>\nThe reason you can not is that those routers check for file name when you upload, and only 3 people in the world know what the firmware file name requiered by this router to accept new firmware is. I am about to become the fourth to know and hopefully everyone else can come later, (FYI i dont know who the three people are, i just assumed there must be three people)<\/p>\n
Anyway, i hope all other XTECH stuff are as good as this one<\/p>\n
NOTE: The only reason you may want to have the TP-LINK firmware back on this router is that there is no mentioning of this router on xtechinternational.com and therefore i can not find a firmware upgrade, TP link will surely have the upgrades as soon as they are out though.<\/p>\n
—————–
\nNaming the firmware update file:<\/p>\nUpdate, although this is a re-branded TP-Link, i switched my TP-Link to dd-wrt, i think i will switch this to open-wrt or dd-wrt and not to the original tp-link firmware, mind you, we still need to know what the existing firmware expects for a firmware name.<\/p>\n
In a TP-LINK, the answer is simple, you download the file factory-to-ddwrt.bin from dd-wrt, then you rename the file to be identical to the update file from tp-link.com, namely wr740nv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin , but for xtech (The re-brand), there is no update file, and therefore we don’t know the name of the acceptable update file.<\/p>\n
So lets see the similarities, and see what options we have
\ntp-link TL-WR740N gets wr740nv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin
\nX-Tech xt-wr771LN should get ?
\nwr740nv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin (same: NO)
\nwr771nv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin (NO)
\nwr771lnv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin (NO)
\nxtwr740nv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin (NO)
\nxt_wr740nv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin (NO)
\nxt-wr740nv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin (NO)
\nxt740nv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin (NO)
\nxt_wr771lnv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin
\nxtwr771lnv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin
\nwr771lnv1_en_3_12_4_up(100910).bin
\n—————–<\/p>\nThe router is probably an atheros chip router with a<\/p>\n
HYNIX 933S C
\nHY5DU561622FTP-D43 RAM<\/p>\nIf anyone wants some photos, i can post them here for you no problem<\/p>\n
you can find this router almost everywhere, SmartBuy Carefour, and others are stacking piles of it.<\/p>\n
Good Luck<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
