Other stuff created through a program: financial documents Even if you do run recovery software, it might not get the serial number or all the helper files. Most of the time you can download the program again or install it from disk. You might check to see if you emailed the documents to someone else.

Posted: Tue 16:41 Post subject: Medialink MWN-WAPR150N Now, of the Macronix and the EtronTech, I don't know which does what (CPU, RAM, FLASH, PCB, etc?), I'm new to this.Ĭan anyone tell me if this router can be supported? I found a previous post about this router but someone incorrectly posted that this router has 2MB of flash memory in fact, the datasheet that I linked to above for the EtronTech chip shows that it has 8MB of memory (I think). It looked like there were some pencil markings on the chips I didn't think to erase them 'til after I took the pictures, but I added some textboxes in the picture so you can clearly see the text. Here are some 12MP pictures I took of it. ![]() Maybe someone can help me figure out if dd-wrt is compatible with it or not. It has some pretty good reviews so I'm trying it out. I couldn't find my new router in the router database, so I followed the instructions to post its specs here. Posted: Sun 22:39 Post subject: Device Support: MediaLink MWN-WAPR150N
