    Hello everyone,
    First of all, thank you very much for your time and wanting to help, maybe also curiosity: slightly_smiling_face:

    The WAX610 is completely fixed!

    Login was not possible, the previous owner had probably assigned a different password but left the standard SSID...

    By chance or desperation I triggered the reset button in quick succession...

    That must have booted the backup FW...

    Login worked

    Then there is the non-functioning LAN connection...

    The cooler between the housing and the circuit board was probably not sitting properly on the circuit board. (short circuit)
    After a new correct "assembly" the LAN connection now works.

    Wishing everyone a Merry, Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025 at the end of the year

    Hallo zusammen,
    ersteinmal vielen Dank für eure Zeit und helfen wollen, vielleicht auch neugierde 🙂

    Der WAX610 ist komplett gefixed!

    Login war nicht möglich, Vorbesitzer hatte wohl ein anderes Passwort vergeben aber die Standard SSID gelassen...

    Durch Zufall oder Verzweiflung habe ich Resetknopf schnell hintereinander getriggert....

    Das muss wohl die Backup FW gebootet haben...

    LogIn klappte somit

    Da ist dann noch der nicht funktionierende LAN Anschluß....

    Der Kühler zwischen Gehäuse und Platine saß wohl nicht richtig auf der Platine. (Kurzschluß)
    Nach neuer richtiger "Montage" funktioniert der LAN Anschluß jetzt auch.

    Wünsche Allen zum Ende des Jahres, eine Frohe, gesegnete Weihnacht und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 2025

    André
