Hello, I have a asus GT-AC2900 Router and I need some help with "hacking" it. Back s fre months ago, the router started becoming extremely slow, maxing at 100mb/s up/download. After a few calls to asus, they refuse to even take a look at it as its out of warranty. Im currently now using my ISP's router although, it does not give me any access to anything (like dns, port forwarding, etc), except changing the name/password.
I have opened up the router to find something that surprised me. On the main board, it has TX, and RX pins clearly labeled and easily accessible, along with a pin code and a mac label.
I was whondering if there is anything I can do to fix the router, as I do belive the issue is software related. Or at least, turn it into something else other than e-waste.
