Mod & overclock Wrt54g Router

On Fri 21st  I decided to overclock and up the mW on my linksys, i upped’ the output from 28 mW to 200mW (max 251) and overclocked the processor from 216 to 280 (max 300)….well it worked at first , then it didn’t.  I had somehow corrupted the nvram(non-volatile) which held the overclock setting….little did i know at the time the reset button reset everything EXCEPT the nvram.  So yes i bricked the router.  Had to build a JTAG cable (pictures soon, i promise)  solder a header to the board to reflash the nvram over a parallel connection.  right now its at 252 from 216 and its stable
