Initial wired configuration: RB951G-2HnD

I got a RB951G-2HnD a few years back (finally getting around to using it) and I am unable to identify how I can initially configure my without WiFi. I never intended to use the WiFi functionality and I’m a bit taken back that it appears to be required.

Questions:

  • Is the UART port (PCB test pads) usable for doing an initial configuration? (The wiki pretends like it doesn’t exist.)
  • Is a USB to serial adapter (uses Linux pl2303 module) an option for initial configuration? (The wiki pretends like USB to serial adapters don’t exist.)
  • Is WiFi really my only option?

Is it so hard to find?
