New project page added for the TP-Link TL-WR703N router here :- http:\/\/www.madox.net\/blog\/projects\/tp-link-tl-wr703n\/<\/a><\/p>\n

All the installation instructions are inside that page, here are a few draft quick starts :-<\/p>\n

Setting up extroot<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Partition\/format your USB drive to ext4 using a PC\/Mac (I didn’t include any fdisk\/formatting utils on the image)<\/li>\n
  2. In Luci Top Tabs -> System -> Mount Points<\/li>\n
  3. Under Mount Points, you should have a disabled mount point \/dev\/sda1. Click “Edit”<\/li>\n
  4. Check “Enable this mount”<\/li>\n
  5. Under Filesystem, select “ext4” (Or whichever you’ve chosen)<\/li>\n
  6. Check “Use as root filesystem”<\/li>\n
  7. Press “Save & Apply”<\/li>\n
  8. Reboot for the changes to take effect<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note, you should do this prior to any other step. \u00a0The USB will replace the standard overlay for storing your settings, so doing it later will be messy.<\/p>\n

    Connecting to the Internet (via your home WiFi)<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. In Luci Top Tabs -> Network -> Wifi<\/li>\n
    2. Click “Enable” on the radio<\/li>\n
    3. Once the radio is enabled, click “Scan”<\/li>\n
    4. If you see your home network, click “Join Network”<\/li>\n
    5. Enter your WPA passphrase<\/li>\n
    6. Leave other settings the same and click “Submit”<\/li>\n
    7. Now press “Save & Apply”<\/li>\n
    8. You should now be connected<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Tricks with the LED<\/h2>\n

      Turn blue led on :<\/p>\n

      \n
      echo \"1\" > \/sys\/devices\/platform\/leds-gpio\/leds\/tp-link:blue:system\/brightness<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
      Turn blue led off :<\/p>\n
      \n
      echo \"0\" > \/sys\/devices\/platform\/leds-gpio\/leds\/tp-link:blue:system\/brightness<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
      Blink blue led on\/off :<\/p>\n
      \n
      cd \/sys\/devices\/platform\/leds-gpio\/leds\/tp-link:blue:system\/\r\necho timer > trigger\r\necho 100 > delay_on\r\necho 100 > delay_off<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
      Note : The delay_on value must be less than 255<\/p>\n
      More<\/h2>\n
