Hardware Specifications


CPU Broadcom BCM5357 500 MHz
Flash ROM Winbond 25Q128BUFG 16 MB
RAM EtronTech EM6AB160TSC-5G 32M x 16 bit 64 MB
NVRAM 60KB
Radios 2.4 Ghz Broadcom BCM47186 (SoC) IEEE 802.11b(1,2,5.5,11Mbps)/g(6,9,12,18,24,36,48,54Mbps)/n(up to 300+300 Mbps)
Radios 5 Ghz Broadcom BCM43236 IEEE 802.11a(6,9,12,18,24,36,48,54Mbps)/n(up to 300+300 Mbps)
Antenna Location Internal 3
Switch BCM53125SKMMLG 4x GigE + 1 WAN
USB 1x USB 2.0


You can use some of these figures to come up with what Tx power rating would be best for you. As factory lists it a max of 20dBm then a setting of 100mW could be used as 20dBm = 100mW 17dBm = 50mW and so on.

2.4GHz output power per TX chain 802.11b: Max. 20.5dBm @ All rates 802.11g: Max. 20.5dBm @ Low rates Max. 19.5dBm @ High rates Wireless-N 20MHz: Max. 20.5dBm @ Low rates Max. 18.5dBm @ High rates Wireless-N 40MHz: Max. 17.0dBm @ All rates

5GHz output power per TX chain UNII-1 (5150-5250GHz) 802.11a: Max. 14.0dBm @ All rates Wireless-N 20MHz: Max. 11.5dBm @ All rates Wireless-N 40MHz: Max. 12.0dBm @ All rates UNII-3 (5725-5850GHz) 802.11a: Max. 17.5dBm @ High rates 802.11a: Max. 20.0dBm @ Low rates Wireless-N 20MHz: Max. 17.5dBm @ High rates Wireless-N 20MHz: Max. 20.0dBm @ Low rates Wireless-N 40MHz: Max. 17.5dBm @ High rates Wireless-N 40MHz: Max. 21.0dBm @ Low rates Internal PIFA antennas are rated at 3dBi

Flashing instructions for the E3200

DON'T BRICK YOUR ROUTER! AFTER FLASHING WITH THE TRAILED BUILD (the one with the router name in it linked below is the trailed build), IF YOU THEN FLASH A BUILD THAT DOESN'T HAVE NV60k IN THE NAME OF THE BUILD YOU ARE FLASHING YOU *WILL* BRICK YOUR e3200 ROUTER. ALSO reference this post regarding the newer NV60K.BINS FOR ALL E~ Series linksys http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=569485&highlight=#569485

  1. READ the Peacock Announcement Carefully! http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=51486
  2. Disconnect all cables and wireless clients.
  3. Do a 30/30/30 reset on router
  4. Connect 1 Lan cable to pc doing the flash.
  5. Log into Web Interface and flash the firmware E3200 Trailed Initial Flash Build
  6. Wait 10 minutes until WLAN (wireless) light turns on.
  7. Power cycle by unplugging E3200 for 30 secs.
  8. Plug E3200 back in and wait about 5 minutes until it finishes booting.
  9. Do a 30/30/30 reset on router.
  10. Wait 3 minutes and log into web interface.
  • Should you need to upgrade, for added features such as USB, do so using the nv60k builds - For example, the files will have this naming format - dd-wrt.v24-19342_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv60k.bin
