Показать описание
In this video, I show how to upgrade RAM (random access memory) IC in a router by soldering. This hack allowed me to increase RAM from 32MB to 64MB. Also, I explain why I did it.
By the way, my router is TP-Link TL-WA701ND v2

I r4ealize you probably never visit this video anymore but I recently purchased 2 TP-Link WR940N routers and they are really bad. It doesn't take much to get them to lock up and need a reboot. It gets worse the more bandwidth I am pushing through the Wii router. I believe it's a memory problem so I'm going to try upgrading the memory on one of them and see if it works or helps. I'm an electronics hobbyist with reasonable SMD soldering skills. Nice video. Very useful for me.

Wow! I've added tiny 0402 resistors to get my serial port working but upgrading the RAM is SMD insanity!
Good work!
My old routers hardly have enough RAM for newer versions of OpenWRT, so it seems like a good idea but.... this is SMD insanity.

do note that knowing what pin layout said chips have is very important... don't want to place a 5v onto a 3.3v or worse short circuit to gnd on accident.
Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!

I already use DD-WRT. Do I have to do anything extra or charge to Open-WRT?

isn't there some sort of issue with lead free solder anyhow? I read something about tin whiskers from such solder. Although I have not had any electronic devices fail I most likely have something with that lead free solder in it somewhere. It seems that when something is working right there is always some no good son of a bitch looking for a way to ruin it.
