disassemble the router r9000 x10
would anyone know how to disassemble the router r9000. I searched everywhere and found nothing. Is there any tutorial with images if possible? My router bricked and I need to access the seria pins on the board. Thanks a lot.

I've never done this, so I know nothing, but that does not look good
to me.antinode is correct in that the output does not look good. Fact that you are getting readable output says you have the serial connect setup properly, but there should not be errors and I have never hear of red eye..... ,but that maybe what is on these. In any case I am not seeing valid output other then firmware name Annapurma labs, owned by Amazon. CPU in the r9000 is from them. Init errors are not good. Maybe time to toss in bin and move on.

Not properly.Only wired interfaces works, but poorly. I can neither assign IP to PC or router. I can't acess nothing in the router.

when I power on the router, the power led don't blink, it goes directly to on and I can't acces the router by the scheme of tftp

I don't know how to open the equipment and how it is built completely differently from other models, there is no way to "extrapolate". As I could not access through the traditional tftp scheme, I figured the last exit would be access through the serial interface. Would you know otherwise? Thanks> > [...] My router bricked [...]

"can't" is not a useful description of anything. As usual, showing
actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED
indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations.> IMG_20190910_190829.jpg
The IP configuration of your computer makes no sense to me. Why
"100.55.109.92"? That's a public IP address, not a LAN IP address for
the R9000.I'm English-only, but your "telnet" error message looks to me as if
you have not enabled the "telnet" command on your Windows system.That's a Windows-configuration problem, not a router problem.
To enable the "telnet" command on Windows 10:
Settings > Apps > (Related settings) Programs and Features >
Turn Windows features on or off : Telnet ClientOr, if you can find a Control Panel, then:
Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features
on or off : Telnet ClientBut why? By default, Netgear routers do not listen for Telnet
connections, so it's not clear what you expect to learn from that.It's not clear to me that there's any problem with your router.
Certainly no reason to open it and start playing with a serial-port
interface. Especially when you seem not to know enough to configure
your router properly.Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read.General advice: Don't try to open the router until you know much more
than you seem to know now.
