Overview
"EWW604-B1-L5 REV:205 (XC)" is silkscreened on the board in the photos.
"EWW604-B1-L5 REV:305 (XD)" is silkscreened on one newer revision unit.
Newer revision units omit a populated serial header and likely have newer firmware (which locks out flashing third-party firmware), necessitating flashing via manual TFTP in U-Boot (see here). According to the Product comparison chart of the EA7500, EA8500, E8350 and E8400
- from Linksys, the E8500 supports wireless bridge and wireless repeater modes.
- Wi-Fi Certified : WFA59270 (as of 04/14/2015)
