Fastboot for TRB1XX
Introduction
Fastboot is a powerful protocol allowing low-level management and modification of a router’s firmware and critical partitions. Fastboot mode provides direct access to the router’s storage, enabling advanced tasks such as flashing firmware, replacing the bootloader, and performing other critical updates.
This article provides a guide on using Fastboot, specifically designed for the TRB1XX series.
