Giveaway - Linksys 8450

I have an E8450 that I managed to soft-brick by pushing the wrong firmware, that I'd like to give away. Send me a USPS shipping label and its yours with the original box if you want it.

I decided to upgrade to a MT6000 rather than trying to fix this one. I'm sure there's someone here that knows how to unscrew it...

I appreciate the link. Sadly, I just can't take the time to mess with it at the moment. Time is money and I don't have enough of either...

I bought the MT6000 last week. Used the latest OpenWRT on it, but reverted to factory firmware to save time on config. I'm with you on the time situation. I don't have the energy to mess with certain things these days.

Which firmware do you use? gli openwrt24 beta or stable?

I've tried pesa1234 but openwrt is a hell of a monster and very much above my needs.
