[Noisebridge-discuss] Circuit Hacking Monday, Dec 3 2012, 7PM -10PM at Noisebridge in San Francisco

[John Ellis]

Cool idea Miloh!

Here is the specific link;
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n

* Atheros AR7240 CPU (400Mhz)
* Atheros AR9331 Chipset (integrated wireless)
* 802.11 b/g/n 150Mbps (130Mbps real)
* 4 MB flash memory
* 32 MB RAM

Also worth pointing out that when a router fails, such as a WRT-54 series
or similar, its usually the capacitors or the regulator in the power supply
section. This could be fixed/hacked at CHM as well.
