To modify a WDR3600 with 16MB flash, you will need an external SPI programmer
and soldering tools.  First, obtain a copy of the starting contents either with

      <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Unfortunately OpenWrt never accepts device support requiring hardware
modifications.
I think part of the reason is that there are too many possible
variants when it comes to hardware modifications and all those
variants will make users confused.

    <p>Yeah, that's the rule.</p>
    <p>In ar71xx such Device Tree mods weren't needed at all, flash size
      was autodetected at bootup.</p>
    Maybe you can think about implementing such generic autodetection
    mechanism for ath79 target instead, so there would be no need to
    support modded routers explicitly, so standard images could be used
    on modded routers too.<br>
    I think that quite many users could benefit from this. <br>

Some maintainers talked about this problem in a past thread but I
can't find it now.
