I've installed the bin from:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr841nd

download V7 image from trunk:http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841nd-v7-squashfs-factory.bin

I have no webUI when typing 192.168.1.1
ssh the router comes up fine in the command line. Is LuCi installed? and how to install it in the above bin?
opkg update fails, see below that I pasted.

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg update
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … ackages.gz.
wget: bad address 'downloads.openwrt.org'
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … ackages.gz, wget returned 1.

Is there a way I can install this manually?

I think that the first thing you should do is to make your router can visit www.openwrt.org.

Had the same problem here with the latest trunk:

Solution is to connct the TP-Link TL-WR841N V7.2 to a working internetconnection via the WAN Port.

Start Telnet (PuTTY?!) on the client, select 192.168.1.1 as destination and add this commands:

Code:

opkg update
opkg install luci
/etc/init.d/uhttpd enable
/etc/init.d/uhttpd start

PS: The enable option will let LuCi start after a reboot.

I want to install on a V.7.2 too but i don´t know how to proceed.

Any help?

Tnx

Nothing? I know it is not the newest router.

Would anybody help please!

omiez,
I have V7.1

I am new to OpenWRT. I installed openwrt 2 days ago.
I have firmware from here (it`s beta):
http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … x/generic/

if you have now tp-link firmware try this image:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … actory.bin

if you have another (like other version of openwrt or dd-wrt) try this image:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … pgrade.bin

if you already have openwrt and just need instal webinterface install lucy

I will try tomorrow.
Before i flash, is there any other using openwrt on 7.2 version?

Hopefully I will be able to install Luci. I have another router I will use to connect the dd-wrt one to Internet to download Luci.

Must I install any other upgrade after flashing from tp-link firmware to open-wrt?

Thank you.

EDIT:

I am on Open-WRT now, i installed the squashfs image and the router booted fortunately into web interface.

My next question is:
I am on 12.09 beta now. Is there a way to enable UPnP?
Thanks

Go to System->software
Click "Update lists"
Go to tab "Available packages" - "M"

Find "miniupnpd" and install it.

Then go to System->StartUp, find there "miniupnpd" and if it Disabled click on it, to make it run on startup (Enabled). Click restart.

Thank you Wizardzim.

I like this firmware, seems to better then DD-Wrt.

A little bit difficult to handle for somepne without experience.

Some things can be explained better for people like me. But anyway i am here to learn, if someone like you is ready to help.

Our router is small in space i see to install things in it, but for normal use it is perfect.

@omiez
How is the WIFI signal strength ,because the original software TL-WR841N v.7,2 is bad?
Does also works well UPnP on openWRT?

(Last edited by deliv on 24 Oct 2012, 13:00)

Wifi is working well,no drops since I installed and strength is very good, wifi power is 21 DBM maximum on this router.

I installed upnp but I have not tested,will do this in Therese days and answer.

Sorry for the duoble quote:

UPnP works pretty well here, tested today.

I would also like to ask for screenshots of as many as possible of settings pages of luci!Plеase

Hi,
I'm new to OpenWrt, too and i flashed my TL-WR841ND yesterday according to the wiki article. I'm trying to use the router as as additional Access Point.

Unfortunately i have no webGUI-Access. At the moment i'm trying to get internet connection to install luci, but with no luck so far.

My primary router (with internet connection) has got the IP 192.168.0.1, and i tried to edit /etc/config/network so it looks like this:

config interface 'loopback'
        option ifname 'lo'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
        option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config interface 'lan'
        option ifname 'eth0'
        option type 'bridge'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '192.168.0.254'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option gateway '192.168.0.1'

config interface 'wan'
        option ifname 'eth1'
        option proto 'dhcp'

config switch
        option name 'eth0'
        option reset '1'
        option enable_vlan '1'

But i can't connect to the internet nor ping my router (192.168.0.1)

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!

Greetings from germany

Hello, few days ago I had the same experience, I put the image of the Attitude Adjustment 12.09-beta!It has LuCi!
After installation, LuCi does not appear immediately, but needed a reboot several times.
Then one messed up seting and- --end no ping!
I tried 30/30/30 method but without success 50 times,
Finally I put it into safe mode  by pressing button QS(WIFI swich) while boot proces!
When flashes quickly  2 LED then you're able to enter telnet, make password and then ssh!
After that i log in LuCi! hapy for my

Hi,
thanks for your reply. I installed the image suggested in the wiki article, and if i understand it correctly it normally should have LuCi, too.

I already set a password for the root-user. Telnet and ssh works fine, but no WebGUI.

How is the chance that it will work with the Attitudie-Image? What would be the procedure to change to this image? Is it similar to the "Go back to original firmware"-Section of the wiki-article?

Best regards

they have sys -upgrade.bin  in http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … pgrade.bin this must be the correct method
or install LuCi

Hi,
now i upgraded to Attitude Adjustment 12.09-beta and immediately had LuCI installed , thanks for that!

For those who want to upgrade to this version of openWRT too, and dont have internet access, a short description of what i've done:

1. Downloaded the sysupgrade-version from the above link (http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … pgrade.bin) to my PC (because i had no internet connection on the router)

2. I used WinSCP to upload the file to the /tmp-Directory of my router
   (Use SCP-Protocol, and dont wonder about a error-message that appears after the first connect)

3. Started sysupgrade as described in this wiki article

sysupgrade -v /tmp/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841nd-v7-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

after that WebGUI worked fine

Anyway I still wasn't able to connect to my other router (i spent hours on that yesterday )
Today i tried another network cable and it worked right away

I flashed the last beta2 and when i installed miniupnpd there was a message.

Collected errors:
* resolve_conffiles: Existing conffile /etc/config/upnpd is different from the conffile in the new package. The new conffile will be placed at /etc/config/upnpd-opkg.

Is this normal or must i do something related to the error?

Thanks

Do You had imported You backup settings after flashing? If so - it is OK.

I flashed saving settings, i think this was the cause.

Hello,
I made update with wrong file and now I have telnet in failsafe mode but do not know how to proceed. I tried this
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/gener … lsafe.mode
1.mount_root
2.passwd
i have this response
passwd: can't create '/etc/shadow+': No space left on device
passwd: can't update password file /etc/shadowan
I can`t make ssh
any help is welcome!

firstboot
reboot -f

I flash the wrong sysupgrade file jffs2 instead of squashfs-sysupgrade,
Now i tried firstboot then reboot -f but result is

root@(none):/# firstboot
firstboot has already been run
jffs2 partition is mounted, only resetting files
MTD partition not found.

Ouch.. You are lucky to have the router alive.. So in normal boot you cant login? In failsafe you can login with telnet, so you should be able to get the router online and then

cd /tmp

wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … pgrade.bin

sysupgrade openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841nd-v7-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
