Hardware
The KWGR614 is based (according to the support, chip is covered by passive fan) on a RTL8651B chipset with a 200Mhz RISC CPU. The wireless chipset is a hardwired RTL8185L. Memory is realized with a 16 MByte EtronTech EM38165TS-7G SDRAM and a 4 MByte Macronix 29LV320CVBC-90G Flash chip. The ethernet ports are provided by a Delta LFE8782 transformer. There are no obvious internal debug interfaces.
Changing the Firmware
Firmware can be updated via http interface. The firmware page also describes how to download a new firmware via TFTP. OpenWRT does not support this device yet.
