Dazzle Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hello everyone, I've order an Alfa AP121U directly from Alfa, because I'm from europe. Now I'd like to flash this with the MkIV firmware. I've tried searching and I know I should upload the upgrade.bin to the tmp directory. The webinterface looks like it's a custom Alfa firmware that's on there. I enabled SSH in the web interface, but the page still shows me it's disabled, even though I can make a connection now Loging in with the default username and password doesn't work for me and I am unable to find documentation on the router to get a default username and password I hope it's still possible to flash my AP121U without a UART cable, since I would then have to wait till I finally receive that cable and I really want to get started using Jasager Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Your board has a custom ALFA firmware on it. You will need to flash OpenWRT over serial and then flash the MK4firmware. Best, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Oh that's too bad, any thought on where I can get a good UART cable in Europe (Holland specifically), Google doesn't really help me much Thanks for your help! Dazzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Hi there, if you have an arduino laying around pop the atmega chip out and you've got yourself an USB-UART adapter. Otherwise check ebay, you can find cheap ones there. When I get home I'm gonna send you the link for the one I bought, it was cheap and arrived within 2 weeks.

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately no Arduino laying around, but I might want to try it out some time I've found some cheap ones on ebay indeed, I assumed I would find those trough Google as well so didn't check specifically.
