== Info ==

GL-Inet.com creates nice clones of TP-Link WR-703 routers. They run OpenWRT out of the box, and have 2 ethernet interfaces, a 2.4Ghz Wifi (802.11n) radio, a usb2.0 port and 5 free GPIO ports (2mm spacing). Available on dealextreme/alibaba or in the RevSpace vending machine.

A new board design has been releases in September, with slightly modified/improved power circuits. Some requests have been made for the next board redesign (gpio headers in 2.54mm spacing instead of the current 2mm), which will hopefully be made soon.

== RevSpace images and packages ==

Alternative packages and install-images for OpenWrt (trunk) for GL-Connect GL-iNet v1 (GL-iNet-6416A) devices,
Build-environment for the GL-Inet, [http://glinet.sigio.nl/ http://glinet.sigio.nl/].
You will need the openwrt-ar71xx-generic-gl-inet-v1-squashfs-factory.bin file, md5sum ad2164a70e4ccc9a40f77bf49d3bb472

Note that using a custom build means you can't use the normal repositories for kernel-packages.

==OpenWRT==

The device runs OpenWRT out of the box, but it's quite easy to build your own image. Since August 2014, the patches are included in OpenWRT upstream.

==Serial settings==

* Baudrate: 115200
* Handshake: none
* Flow-control: none

== Hacks ==

===External antenna===
Maxell's shopping list for the external antenna modification.
* IPX naar RP-SMA pigtail, RG178: [http://www.ebay.nl/itm/U-fl-IPX-to-RP-SMA-Female-pigtail-cable-RG178-for-Antenna-wifi-network-card-/370914212565]
* Surface mount IPX: [http://www.ebay.nl/itm/10pcs-Connector-IPX-female-jack-solder-PCB-surface-SMD-SMT-vertical-mount-/281127253719]. New(er) PCB's already have these in place. Check your GL-Inet before buying.

===Display ===

Widely sold as the "Nokia5110 display" (but actually most famous for being the display of the Nokia 3310), this 84 × 48 graphical display can easily be added to a GL-Inet and controlled by bitbanging SPI with the GPIO pins. It uses 4 GPIOs, leaving one vacant, if you simply tie CE/SCE to GND.

Note: some of these PCBs come with a current limiting resistor of 150 Ω for the background LEDs, while others don't. Add your own resistor if your board didn't come with a resistor, or the LEDs will wear out very quickly.
