Hello,

I bought a TP-LINK WR703N and I have to project to connect it to an arduino and get his data with a php code.

So I installed successfully openwrt, and I had first a problem, I can't have internet and be connected to the router at the same time, so I follow this process https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=38122 , connected router to my modem, and that work fine, I can connect to Luci.

The problem is when I try to install kmod-usb-storage or kmod-usb-serial-ftdi I get this message:

Have you any idea?
Thanks

You image is too old, reflash to latest. Kmods get deprecated within 12-24 hours, so install them immediately after flashing.

or use stable branch (AA rc1), or download imagebuilder that contains all packages, and back it up along with the firmware image.. wink

beaware of your 703 hw version before installing AA rc1, there is a serious problem:

wondering when the next AA release will be uploaded...
