Re: hw assignment

I've flashed firmware plenty of times via WiFi. What needs to be done is somewhat elaborate: create firmwares for the routers and be able to identify the router connected to and load the correct firmware. It's not impossible.... it's not even that hard just needs someone that is dedicated and applies their effort into the matter.

Also many routers use Linux so there might be a more trivial way to have the router execute some code.

I do 5 things before flashing firmware.

  • Record or save all settings.
  • Reset all settings to factory defaults.
  • Turn the radio off (if WiFi).
  • Disconnect all Ethernet connections.
  • Connect one single Ethernet cable, to one single computer.

The second time I flashed my BEFSX41, I neglected to remove all Ethernet cables. That was when I had to learn, from a thread in this forum, how to unbrick a BEFSX41.

Maybe I can flash using WiFi. Maybe I can drive down the highway at 80 mph and not get nailed by the cops. Maybe not.

I don't recommend speeding to anybody. Nor will I recommend using WiFi to flash firmware.
