Flashing
 | NOTE: During configuration or flashing a device, the only things that should be hooked to the device is the computer and power. |
Flashing OpenWrt
 | Since OpenWRT version 24.10, CPU target ipq806x has switched to DSA architecture. Hence upgrading from earlier versions to 24.10.x or later requires complete reset of all router configuration. |

Installation
------------
Connect to the RJ45 console (TTL)
Connect LAN1 to host, set host ip as 192.168.1.10
Start a tftp server to serve the initramfs image
Open console connection (9600n8)
Connect power through the DC jack
`Hit any key to stop autoboot: 5`: press any key
`Enter G,Q,or H:`: press `K` to access the hidden option
`Enter password:`: `fap22b1!$` to access a limited u-boot console
`(FAP) #`: `tftpboot your_initramfs_image_name.itb`
`(FAP) #`: `bootm`
Once OpenWrt has booted, install the firmware through sysupgrade
