The LaFonera Router 2.0 Beta (v2202) is the newest in the Fon router line.
Meet the Fonz
The router was kindly named “The Fonz” for obvious reasons.
Hardware
System-On-Chip
The SoC on board is an Atheros System on Chip model AR2315. It is the same chip used in the rest of the Fon routers. It is highly supported within the Linux/OpenWRT/etc communities and is a favored SoC due to this support.
CPU
The CPU onboard is clocked to run at 180MHz although it is capable of over clocking. It is driven by a 40MHz Xtal crystal. It is a 32-bit MIPS R4000-class processor.
Ethernet
An onboard 10/100 Ethernet controller is included.
UART
The chip features a highspeed UART capable of rates up to and exceeding 115KBaud.
Wireless
An 802.11b/g controller is integrated into the SoC. It is capable of operating in the frequency range 2.3-2.5 GHz.
Flash
8MB of flash is available much like the previous Fon models.
RAM
32MB of SDRAM is available in this build of the Fon. This is double the original 16MB that was offered in earlier models. This increased ram allows for more applications to be run on the device.
Ethernet
A Marvell 88E6060 ethernet switch is attached which allows for the two ports ethernet ports. One port is used for connecting to the WAN while the other is designed for use inside the LAN. The two are VLANd in software and actually share the same physical ethernet controller on the SoC.
USB
The devices comes with a single USB2.0 connector. This is powered via a NEC USB Host controller. The device is supported in OpenWRT trunk.
