I haven't performed a serial connection ever so I do not know which cable
works best for connecting to the serial port on the E4200v1.
Most USB Serial cables have 9 pins and I don't think I can attach such a
cable to my router.

I think I am looking for a 4 or 5 pin cable, preferably tailored for my
device. Any advice?
