Hi everyody,

I have flased the trunk

OpenWrt Barrier Breaker r35162 /
            LuCI Trunk (trunk+svn9622)
       
But my wireless is not workig. I clik on enable but afterwards it say wireless disabled or not associated.

what should I do to fix it?

when we can expect new snapshot of AA?

Thanks for the help

try:
rm -f /etc/config/wireless
wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless
wifi up

Sorry, for the problem about the usb port?

I need kmod-usb-ohci and kmod-usb2 package, but in this snapshot is not available.

There are solution?

The ideal solution is to build your own AArc1

I am no able to modify the AARC1 to solve the problem about the ethernet connection after the flash of router.
I have used the AARC1 posted by nebbia88, but there are problem in the Luci interface and with the RTL8187 driver

For the moment i prefer to wait a next good BB FW.

I ask why in a snapshot are not present some important package as kmod-usb-ohci and kmod-usb2.

Most likely because the build bots haven't compiled them.
If AA is not working but BB is, compile BB. Then you will have all the mods you need.

I do report the same problems.  On V1.5 Wifi initially Scan and detects but as soon as I connect it stop working.  No more Wifi.
Plus there is no USB Drivers.  Only the Core.

Can some one orient me as to were I can found the Sources for USB dirivers like
kmod-usb-serial-pl2303
kmod-usb-serial-ch341

So that I can build them my self.

I have to test

But I do not see the problem. My wireless set up had been the same and Always had work.

This is my finding

root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/network restart
'radio0' is disabled
'radio0' is disabled
'radio0' is disabled
root@OpenWrt:~#

root@OpenWrt:~# rm -f /etc/config/wireless
root@OpenWrt:~# wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless
root@OpenWrt:~# wifi up
'radio0' is disabled
'radio0' is disabled
root@OpenWrt:~#

See it report the radio disable.  So I look at wireless again an see "REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI"

    # REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
#    option disabled 1 

So as you see I commented that line

I did change network, firewal,  & dropbear also to reflect ny usual setup.

And still no wifi.  In fact now when I do

root@OpenWrt:~# wifi on
command failed: Device or resource busy (-16)

or 
root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/network restart
command failed: Device or resource busy (-16)

This time I did not set up LUCI but before when I did ty lucy showed me good SCAN then after Connect no more WIFI.

Apparently my rs232 did not put 12V in tp_in, because I finally managed to flash the router with the original Chinese image, after I received the USB-serial adapter!

Hello,

I wanted to know if it is safe to install Openwrt on a 703n I just bought.

I have a working serial interface in the case shit hits the fan, but I would prefer to have all the odds in my favour :

The UBoot says
U-Boot 1.1.4 (Feb 28 2012 - 11:58:24)

I already flashed it with a modified TL-MR3020 firmware and it's working fine so far.

if your uboot is before SEP then no modification needed, mine was September, and its ether interface & wireless got dead.
even if you flash and got problems, you can always reflash, because you have a serial console already. openwrt working find even interfaces did not work, so no worries.

by the way, what is this small module ontop of the tplink?

Thank you for your answer.

That's my USB to Serial on top, so I can have Serial and power at the same time with only one USB.
I got it on eBay ( http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie … 1102584727 ) chose it for size and price. I just de-soldered the pins and USB plug, trimmed a bit excess PCB and soldered to the right pins. I wanted to add an internal USB hub too (hence the wires on the right) but I stupidly fried the hub and had to resolder the original Female USB on the left). There(s still plenty of room inside, and you can't tell it was modified, apart from the fact that I replaced the USB micro-b female with a USB A male (so I don't need an extra cable).

I got my WR703n working with the modified firmware that was uploaded on page 4 or 5. However I would like to use USBip. When I got to install that package, I get a kernal error. If I force it, it says it doesn't have enough memory on overlay. If I flash the modified package and then upgrade to the latest release, it works great until I restart the device, then I go back to no connectivity.
Is there anyway to change what has been modified at the command prompt? I do have serial access to the device. Thanks.

what is your opkg config? sounds like it still wants to write to the rom.

I followed this guide to set up my  TL-WR703N v1.7 using the latest trunk snapshot (except using psk2 instead of psk), and I get the following message when I run the wifi command (just like dale_para_bajo reported):

root@OpenWrt:~# wifi
command failed: Device or resource busy (-16)
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant

I also get a bunch of error messages in the log:

[ 3268.210000] ath: phy0: DMA failed to stop in 10 ms AR_CR=0x00000024 AR_DIAG_SW=0x02000020 DMADBG_7=0x00024e00
[ 3268.310000] ath: phy0: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x001!

[ 3271.950000] ath: phy0: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x001!

Fortunately it still seems to connect and authenticate with my router, except that it doesn't get a DNS server via DHCP for some reason. That I fixed by adding this to /etc/resolve.cfg:

nameserver 8.8.8.8

Which is Google's public DNS server. This is only temporary though, and gets erased when you reboot. I fixed it by installing Luci and using that to permanently add the address.

Anyway, I want to try using usbip, but it seems that the usbip package is unavailable for trunk snapshots. Is there a workaround?

I just looked at the opkg.config. The main is set to / and the temp is /temp. when I do a df I only have about 500kb free on root.
I have followed these instructions (http://www.madox.net/blog/projects/tp-link-tl-wr703n/), but it fails to have any network connectivity, as we found out with the bootloader.

Is there any way that I can install that build as linked to above and just modify the file that was changed with the serial connection to get the network back up?

My WR703N works beautifully with the build that was posted on page 4 or wherever otherwise.
Thanks guys!

I think I just flashed the wrong image and locked myself out.

I used openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin and used the chinese interface.

It all seemed to go well, but after it rebooted itself, I can't make a connection. I tried setting the PC to a static ip address of 192.168.1.2, but still got no response in a web browser, or to telnet, or to ping. The blue light indicates that it has booted successfully, and it seems to go into failsafe mode correctly as well, but I still can't get a response out of it.

That seems consistent with the v1.7 problem, but the wiki seems to say that the trunk has been patched to fix this up.

Did I just use the wrong firmware file? What is the correct one to use?

I have another wr703n and I'd like to be sure I'm using the right firmware before I try again.

Link of the flashed image?? Filename is ok but it's not different between various revisions/builds

http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … actory.bin

is it.

It looked like it was created a few days ago, so I assumed this was the most recent one available.

Wrong choice

there is not yet an official AA build newer than r35038, in wiki is written to use trunk, or build your own AA image with lastest svn...

Or use my patched AA rc1 image that includes the fix

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 38#p186738

What does it mean by "flash OpenWrt trunk r35037" as given in the warning on the tl-wr703n wiki page?

How would I get the factory.bin file to upload via WWW interface as indicated in the various instructions pages? How can I tell which trunk is used in the usual download at http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/

I have a new wr703n with outside sticker saying 1.6 and menu page saying "3.14.4 Build 120925 Rel.33144n",
so I presume this is the 1.7 version and the instructions on pages like these are wrong:
  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic … lGxUTlj9mM
  http://wiki.xinchejian.com/wiki/Install … ink_WR703N

Is there a URL to a trunk r35037-fixed image that can be uploaded via www firmware or do I need to build the image myself from patched sources?

Thanks!

to know the revision of any build on openwrt download server look at the first rows of config file, for example:

http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … xx_generic

http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … 1xx/config

Thanks! I see the snapshots from today has:
# OpenWrt version: Barrier Breaker (r35604)
# Fri Feb 15 11:40:43 2013

and AA has:
# OpenWrt version: Attitude Adjustment (r34185)
# Sun Nov 18 01:44:27 2012

So does that mean that the snapshots version should work with the v1.7 since r35604>r35037
(and conversely the reason you said "Wrong choice" yesterday for the Attitude Adjustment was that it is at r34185)?

To clarify, I should be able to either install the current bleeding edge (but possibly with newly introduced bugs):
http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … actory.bin

or else use your patch in https://www.dropbox.com/s/npiapitjpq4ygzs/
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-AArc1-r34185-eth-fix.zip

which has the openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin
suitable for web upload. (did I read correctly that someone with a wr703n tried this and it worked?)

Is this right?

seems all correct

reading some pages ago you will find some users that tested my image and it should be ok!

Bleeding edge does work on my router. I can not get usbip to work, however. When I try to install it on bleeding edge, I get unknown package 'usbip'. When I try to install it with nebbia88's fix I don't have enough space and the kernals do not line up.
What's the best way of getting usbip to work?
Thanks guys.
