This, and others reports of SMD components not being soldered

Some Linksys wireless routers have two serial ports at logic level
on the PCB. Linksys firmware doesn't support them. Install OpenWRT

There's an easy way to check if it's genuine email.

the BBC in 1979 when I said 'a wet sponge':
he corrected and emphasised, 'a damp sponge'.
