\subsection{From TL-WR703N to GL.inet}
TP-Link TL-WR703N \gls{router} is a popular choice among hacker community because of it's cheap price tag compared to processing power and usage of a full-grown \Gls{linux} distribution. People have figured out how to upgrade \gls{ram} / \Gls{flash} memories or to make use of not used \gls{gpio} / UART ports for their own needs. These solutions however were mostly crude and expensive to replicate. The GL.inet team saw an opportunity to grasp this public knowledge and rolled out their own improved board clone to the marked.

Whole printed circuit board of TL-WR703N was remade by the GL.inet team to expose the unused \gls{gpio} ports on the \gls{soc}, utilize two \Gls{ethernet} port instead of one and utilize the \gls{usb} 2.0 port. Memory chips were replaced by their higher capacity alternatives.
