TRENDnet TEW-673GRU

For a list of all currently documented Atheros chipsets with specifications, see Atheros.

The device is near identical to the D-Link DIR-825 B1. The principal difference between the two is the screen - the 673GRU has one, the DIR-825 does not.

Per the DD-WRT forums post, the device will work with the DIR-825 firmware with the last byte of the firmware changed to an ASCII 1 instead of a 0.

Flashing DD-WRT
For DD-wrt or openwrt, can use DIR-825 firmware, just change the last byte from ascii '0' to ascii '1' with a hex editor.

Boot to recovery mode:

- Power off

- Push & Hold reset button

- Power on

- Wait >30 seconds

- Release reset button

- Browse to 192.168.10.1 (set own ip to 192.168.10.100)

- Upload firmware with internet explorer in 'compatability mode'.

- See blue text, percentage go from 0% to 100%

- Wait a little more after seeing 100%

- Firmware recovery flashing is done.
