I love this idea. A wiki with pages for each router :D and people who have that
particular machine can come in and write about the quirks about it. It will be
great!
One thing that just came up on the wrt1900 support forum as we were talking
about cleaning up the several pages for related routers.
There is a lot of data that is critically important early on in the process, or
when working to fix things when they are broken, that is not useful once the
device is supported and everything is working fairly well.
A lot of this information is also common across many different devices from the
same manufacturer, but with different wiki pages there is a tendency to have
some pages with the info, some without, and some with different versions of it.
As such, I'd like to throw out the idea that this sort of info not be stored
directly on the wiki page for each device, but instead be stored off in some
out-of-the way hierarchy and referenced by the relavent pages.
For example
debricking processes
flashing via serial
flashing via bootp
flashing via ftp
tend to be the same for all devices from a given manufacturer (at least for
everything manufactured within a given timeframe)
Also
bootlogs
serial port pinouts (with pictures)
tend to be critical early on, but almost never used after the support is solid.
Other things to consider
switch port assignments (for things like the wrt1900ac that have non-trivial
port configs out of the box)
thoughts?
