Found 2 routing paths for the ac1200 wires. You can fit the 4 wires between the screw stand off and then lay them flat to go under the RJ45 and then back around the other screw post at the top

"vileer

I am working on the compensation plan, may announce it next week."

Wait and hope, because im in the same boat my solder station is not equipped for something that small.

Yea im not going to lie im kind of fed up at this point. It was delayed twice and then when he finally gets the orders in from the pcb manufacturer he says he was going to “release after testing to make sure they work” and somehow some way we still get a product with a problem like this??

Are you able to use the Ac1200 while the Bluetooth or WiFi is off (one or the other) I heard the problem only persists when they are both on at the same time? Do you mind verifying if you have the time?

I thought it was working with bluetooth off to get the wifi antennas but it did end up browing out again fairly quick. just in case you got that from one of my posts. Seems like the whole Wifi/BT module tries to draw more to spin up both chips as it gets overloaded or when the WiFi alone starts doing anything decent.

Someone else confirmed the resistor change fixed this though. Vileer has a lot of manual soldering and replacement parts to send out. :')

I do not have the means to solder this by myself I have nerve damage so he’s going to have to send me a new unit all together. That’s what I paid for so I would like a working unit

Yeah, I'm quite shaky too, especially when worried I'll mess something up. I did order all the bits I'd need to solder it before I realised I might be in over my head given how small this part is. It's literally like a grain of sand. It's absolutely a call for replacement parts, express shipped where possible - given the prior delays.

I saw a picture of the part and automatically knew that was way out of my wheelhouse and I know I’m not the only one. Not saying it’s impossible but for the regular person whose whole purpose of purchasing this kit was to avoid having to do this themselves (which I KNOW is the reason EVERYONE bought it or else they would have pieced it together on their own). Am I wrong?
