D-Link DI-604 Residential Gateway router/switch #teardown

Despite being old it has a familiar design to most newer switches and routers. I'm a little surprised the shell wasn't 3 pieces though.

A little bit of info about the ADM5106 chip that runs this device:

The ADM5106/5107 is an ARM7-based home gateway controller integrated with 7-port switch, 5-port 10/100BaseT/TX PHY, and peripheral interface such as USB, SDRAM and flash memory. It provides a low cost solution to build a home gateway product allowing the home users to connect to the internet via an Ethernet port (or USB) through any xDSL modem or cable modem. All the configured LAN ports are functioned as the Layer2 switch --- address routing/learning, packet forwarding/filtering, packet prioritizing, flow control, and all IEEE802.3 MAC specification. There are five embedded DSP based 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX transceivers. An auto-negotiation function determines the selection of either the 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX mode. The device fully complies with the IEEE 802.3 specification that determines the requisite registers, coding and waveforms to ensure proper transmitter and receiver operation. The patent architecture makes the application be flexible – configure the LAN or WAN ports in any port or even multiple ports and high efficiency DMA architecture provides easy programmed interface and high throughput. The ADM5106/5107 is implemented in a .25u CMOS technology. This technology provides a lower power device. It is featured in a 208 PQFP package. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g8wCQtsvsY
