Today I take apart a Monoprice Wireless-N WiFi Router.
Here's the packaging
What's in the box?
If you flip it over, there are four screws under the feet.
After removing the screws, the rear case flips off easily - no plastic catches to be found.
Here's the PCB. It has
- RTL8196C MIPS-like microprocessor. Some reports about it.
- RTL8192CE WiFi Controller
- EON 16 megabit serial flash
- ESMT 16 megabyte DRAM
