I made a 3.3v to +-12 RS232 adapter for my WRG614 and was able to succesfully connect it to my terminal emulator. However, the serial set up was 9600,n,8,1, not 115200.... and the debug port spewed out a much different console status. Not the mentioned CFE> prompt. It ended up with the Unix Login: prompt.

1) Is login disabled by default? If not what is a default factory user name/password. root:passwd admin:passwd don't seem to work.

2) Is it possible to flash the router with minimal Linux and use it as a single board computer of sorts. My intended application was to connect a GPS to the debug port and have a program imbedded in the router, record the NEMA data from the GPS. When the board got near an unsecured Wifi, it would upload as much of the recorded track as possible to a server.

If these questions have already been answered, I appologize for being a noob to open router, I could not find them anywhere on this site.

Thanks

Richard
