Topic: Confused about updating a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND

The content of this topic has been archived on 3 May 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Currently I am running my router on  OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment 12.09-beta2 and would like to update to the final build (if possible).

My problem, is I don't know how to update my router correctly.  I have read the instructions, however when browsing the download directory I do not see anything that says "update" in the file name.

http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … s/generic/

I see from the openwrt page i have a Atheros CPU, so I am assuming I am in the correct download section.

I would prefer to upgrade from within the routers GUI if possible as I'm very new to Putty.  *edit* although I can access my router through ssh so if that is the only way I am willing to try it.  *edit*  Can someone please show/tell me which file I need to download to flash to my router?

I feel pretty stupid right now, but for the life of me I don't know what I'm doing now.

Thank you in advance for your input and help!
