I need the Serial Pin

I need the Serial Pin arangement for the X6S internal board.  I can't get the thing to accept new firmware because it's stuck in a startup/reboot loupe thanks to NETGEAR Tech suport.
Photos of the internal board are on the NETGEAR Forun, but I guess you need a login to see them  https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Netgear-Nighthaw...
I want to try this (https://www.myopenrouter.com/article/how-set-serial-console-netgear-r8000)
to correct the problem.  Can I assume that the pin readout would be the below?
(1)-
(2)-GND
(3)-Tx
(4)-Rx

Has anyone started a fofundme

Has anyone started a fofundme for the donations for R8000P support? I think a lot of people invested in this router and it would be a shame to leave it with the stock firmware.

Have a R8000 but ordered a

Have a R8000 but ordered a R8000P for CPU and RAM. Would like to see firmware for it. No update on firmware from Netgear for OVER a year...Really. No not going to buy $400-600 router.

With a 1Gb or even slower like 500 MB connection R8000 router can't handle traffic. Plug into Modem extra ethernet port and get full speed.
