    it seems that i have bricked my rt-n16 router. i've never used jtag before so if someone could list the jtag items (cables etc)i should buy so that i can get them all at once. recommendations would be great. :smile:

    Are you really sure you need this - the RT-N16 has a robust CFE with Asus FW recovery mode.

    The JTAG pinouts are shown here

    but the RT-N16 has a serial flash that is not yet supported by popular tools such as TJTAG, which has a recommended hardware purchase:-

    If you really need JTAG I'm sure its only a matter of time before dd-wrt Tornado cracks it!

    your right, it wasn't bricked and the recovery mode worked well.

    thanks for the replys.
