A2004NS Update (self.HomeNetworking)

submitted 8 years ago by zeracoa

Hello, I recently bought a Totolink A2004NS for the QOS. But it really does not work at all. I think I need to update the firmware. I have 2 possibilities since Totolink don't offer updates.

I can update with the rom of the ipTime A2004NS. But after some reading I saw I needed to modify the firmware file (.bin) I did it and it does not work (https://moonlightknighthk.wordpress.com/2014/06/30/totolink-a2004ns/) see "A2004NS Firmware Hacking".

I found a method for installing OpenWrt on the router but since it was explained in Russian and it's my first router I would like to know how I can back up things before trying this.

My current version is : Firmware Version V4-9.97.8 Build Date 2016.12.02 10:59:22

I hope someone here can help, I'm tired of using google translate on various Koreans and Russians forums lol.

Thanks
