Geoff0ne Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hey guys, Just curious as to what hardware is used as im keen to build it up myself if possible. And is the firmware available for download? Cheers Tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDinosaur Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 If I'm not mistaken, I believe they use a custom board this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spazi Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 You could build something simillar with the raspberry pi or arduino yun. But why bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarnedoo Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 You could build something simillar with the raspberry pi or arduino yun. But why bother? Because they dont ship it to my country, got my mark IV when i was living abroad, i just wish they can ship to my country as well. I got a rasberry pi at my disposal, would really love it for this project, any ideas where to start ?? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no42 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) You can basically recreate it on any access point that supports OpenWRT. Check out the community section of the forum.

alextrebek Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 it could probably be "sorta" cloned. It would be easier and cheaper to just order it unless you have the items on hand already. looking like they based the markV firmware of the netgear wndr3700 V2 openwrt tree. the second radio that is RTL8187 is most likely just a usb addon as that is a usb chipset. Also there is also a script to swap the order of the radios and generally in openwrt usb radios will pop up first from my experience. the sd card is also usb based it seems. dip switches would be something else you would have to add one and figure out as I haven't really read or seen what they do yet. I only extracted and looked over firmware for 20 minutes now so don't take my info for granted as I don't even have a markV. I will play with the extracted firmware files later on different atheros device and I find anything I will let ya know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
