Netgear EVA700 - What can I do with it?

audio_tony · 12th October 2010, 09:57 PM

I have a Netgear EVA 700 - this product has been abandoned by Netgear - so no firmware updates.

The product is pretty useless really - it's very flaky.

So...

I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions as to what use I could put it to?

Ideas anyone?

I don't have much info about it's internals (I haven't looked yet!) but once I know more I will post them.

I have a sneaking feeling that the only thing I could possibly do is some new firmware - but that's unlikely. I believe the unit was based on a Syabas product.

Full specification is here.

Here's an image:

Here's some internal images with more detail.

Anybody have any suggestions as to what else this could be used for?

Seems a waste to just throw it away, if only I could put it to better use!

I have no idea if it could run Linux (or some other embedded O/S)..

Main PCB with wireless module
