Overview

"48DNXA07.0GB", "(XB114_030)", and "2011/04/13" is silkscreened

on the wireless modules in the FCC photos. (OEM: Wistron NeWeb)

This device is the dual channel, dual band version of the WNDAP620.

Two (dual-band) DNXA-G1's would appear to be used.

Per /proc/pci/devices output from a device, each uses

a 168c:0030 PCI ID (default for Atheros AR938x).

[NETGEAR WNDAP660 Supported Since Commit]
Support started version: 19.07.0
Current supported version: 25.12.0
LAN Hardware: RealTek RTL8363SB
WLAN Hardware: Atheros AR9380 (mini-PCIe)
Installation method(s):
U-Boot TFTP + serial recovery, see git-commit
Install Comment:
Currently requires connection to external RS232 (not TTL) serial port (9600,8n1) with Cisco Console compatible 8P8C ("RJ45") cable. Detailed installation instructions can be found at the "Supported Since Commit" link at the top of this page. Modify instructions to match the filename you are installing (e.g. "openwrt-21.02.0-apm821xx-nand-netgear_wndap660-squashfs-factory.img" instead of "openwrt-apm821xx-nand-netgear_wndap660-squashfs-factory.img". Use linux "crc32" command to compute crc32 of factory.img during check step before flashing.
Recovery method(s):
U-Boot TFTP + serial recovery, see git-commit
Comment:
crc32 for "openwrt-21.02.0-apm821xx-nand-netgear_wndap660-squashfs-factory.img" is: c6c77d05

apm821xx: add support for the Netgear WNDAP620 and WNDAP660
This patch adds support for the Netgear WNDAP620 and WNDAP660,
they are similar devices, but due to the LAN LED configuration,
the switch setup and WIFI configuration each gets a different
device target.

Flashing requirements:

 - needs a tftp server at 192.168.1.10/serverip.
 - special 8P8C(aka RJ45)<->D-SUB9 Console Cable
   ("Cisco Console Cable"). Note: Both WNDAP6x0 have
   a MAX3232 transceivers, hence no need for any separate
   CMOS/TTL level shifters.

External Antenna:
The antennae mux is controlled by GPIO 11 and GPIO14. Valid Configurations:
 = Config# = | = GPIO 11 = | = GPIO 14 = |  ===== Description =====
      1.     |   1 / High  |  0 / Low    | Use the internal antennae (default)
      2.     |   0 / Low   |  1 / High   | Use the external antennae

The external antennaes are only meant for the 2.4 GHz band.

One-way Flashing instructions via u-boot:

 0. connect the serial cable to the RJ45 Console Port
    Note: This requires a poper RS232 and not a TTL/USB adaptor.

 1. power up the AP and interrupt the u-boot process at

    'Hit any key to stop autoboot'

 2. setup serverip and ipaddr env settings
    Enter the following commands into the u-boot shell
    # setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
    # setenv serverip 192.168.1.10

 3. download the factory.img image to the AP
    Enter the following commands into the u-boot shell

    # tftp ${kernel_addr_r} openwrt-apm821xx-nand-netgear_wndap660-squashfs-factory.img

 4. verfiy image integrity
    Enter the following commands into the u-boot shell

    # crc32 $fileaddr $filesize

    If the calculated crc32 checksum does not match, go back to step 3.

 5. flash the image
    Enter the following commands into the u-boot shell

    # nand erase 0x110000 0x1bd0000
    # nand write ${kernel_addr_r} 0x110000 ${filesize}

 6. setup uboot environment
    Enter the following commands into the u-boot shell

    # setenv bootargs
    # setenv fileaddr
    # setenv filesize
    # setenv addroot 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/ubiblock0_0'
    # setenv owrt_boot 'nboot ${kernel_addr_r} nand0 0x110000; run addroot; run addtty; bootm ${kernel_addr_r}'
    # setenv bootcmd 'run owrt_boot'
    # saveenv

 7. boot
    # run bootcmd

Booting initramfs instructions via u-boot:

 Follow steps 0 - 2 from above.

 3. boot initramfs
    Enter the following commands into the u-boot shell

    # tftp ${kernel_addr_r} openwrt-apm821xx-nand-netgear_wndap660-initramfs-kernel.bin
    # run addtty
    # bootm ${kernel_addr_r}
