Console port on WRT160N

Hi guys,

I need help getting the console port on my WRT160N to work. I am using
a TTL-232R 3.3V cable and minicom. I have soldiered up JP2 and believe
that I have got the wiring connected correctly. I am using the
following settings 115200 baud 8-n-1 with no flow control (hardware and
software) but can not see the console at all. I am not sure what I
should be seeing but believe that I should see some sort of boot
sequence. Don't know what I am doing wrong but fortunately have not
yet killed the router.

The exact cable I am using is a FTDI TTL-232R-3V3 USB to TTL with the
FTDI driver. Anyone done this. What happened? Any help would be
appreciated.

Where did you get those settings from? I would start at 9600 and work your
way up, rebooting each time so that you know you should be getting some sort
of output.

I got the settings from oldwiki.openwrt.org under linksys WRT160N, my
gut feeling tells me thatI crossed wired the earth with the power, the
router seems OK and the computers USB port. Don't know about the cable
though. Going to resoilder the PCB and try again. However this time I
will try from the slower board and work my way up.
