Educated guess: Ubicom IP8100-series

Haven't done a teardown, but the DIR-827, which has been torn down online, shows an IP8000-series unit.

Did a search on the IP8000 series it appears it support USB 2.0 & 3.0, has WISH and QoS and supports DDR3 Memory. Really like to know the speed of the chipset, on board ram memory...ETC. It appears it's WRT supported, so will have to wait until the crew over there releases a stable F/W, to unlock even MORE potential of this fine router.

If anyone knows the hardware spec let us know, better yet...sacrificial lamb????
