I got a Micronet sp913 hotspot router from the local recycle shop its from a backpackers the problem is i need to factory reset it but I have to go in through terminal to do a reset. The port is a RJ11 I think. Is there a cable available to access this through terminal ? or another way in there any pointers much appreciated

I cant find any specs for the pinout, so your likely to have to experiment. Worth taking the cover off and seeing if the tx/rx/gnd etc is silkscreened on the board.

Use something like this (cheaper versions exist on TradeMe, DX, etc)
