Any chance for a WR-841 V9 release?  It uses the QCA9533.

Done!

Are you planning on releasing a new version soon that patches the heartbleed openssl vulnerability since this puts the openvpn service at risk?  Looks like the choice to use the polarssl flavor of openvpn is coming back to bite us since the the openssl ipkg has already been patched but polarssl still remains unpatched and may not be patched for a while.

r40438 is up! I've also switched to openvpn-openssl.

For the people who are on r40420:
Due to a bug it is not possible to upgrade from r40420. I've put r40420 because of this offline.
If you want to upgrade from r40420, please follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the router router via ssh (putty)

  2. Typ in 'vi /lib/functions.sh'

  3. Scroll down until you see this line:

    include() {
            local file

            for file in $(ls $1/*.sh 2>/dev/null); do
                    . $file
            done
    }

  4. Press i on your keyboard for insert mode

  5. Paste the following function underneath the function above, as follows:

    include() {
            local file

            for file in $(ls $1/*.sh 2>/dev/null); do
                    . $file
            done
    }

    find_mtd_index() {
        local PART="$(grep "\"$1\"" /proc/mtd | awk -F: '{print $1}')"
        local INDEX="${PART##mtd}"
        
        echo ${INDEX}
    }

  6. Press ESC on your keyboard

  7. Typ in ':wq!' and return to the command line

  8. Typ in 'reboot -f'

  9. Try to upgrade again!

Thanks for your hard work mk13139.  Sorry to make you swap back and forth but it looks like polarssl is not vulnerable after all if their press release is to be believed.  I don't know if you want to roll another release with polarssl put back in or not.  Since they didn't put out a new version, they must have always compiled with the no heartbeat option.

Good to know, I'll switch back to polarssl in the next build wink.

Hi everyone smile

First of all, thank you mk13139 for sharing with us your work in configuring and compiling the openwrt firmware for all of these "routers".

I have a problem with the TL-WR841N V9.0

I flashed version r40420 and r40438 (yes, I have more than one 841V9 smile ) through tplink upgrade firmware in original tplink firmware and I'm getting stuck in Starting kernel

The WR-841 V9 release bricked the Router.  I will connect a serial connection today.  Other than the boot messages is there anything that would help troubleshoot?

@ Microcris & dslx


It's probably best to open a ticket about it, I honestly have no idea what's going wrong. I think something was not addressed correctly during the flash..
The dev's will probably have to edit some make file wink

I am a little confused about the different builds of OpenWRT. I see people talking about AA and BB. Are they the same as Attitude Adjustment and Barrier Breaker? What about the snapshot builds that I'm using right now? http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/

Is there any performance or stabillity advantage to move from them to the mk13139's (BB) builds advertised here? I see they have some nice packages pre-installed, which is very comfortable for new users.

Right now I have two Wi-Fi routers: TL-WR1043ND v1.8 and v2.1. I use both of them only as access points. v2.1 is my main AP+WDS running BARRIER BREAKER (Bleeding Edge, r40449). v1.8 is running Gargoyle based on Attitude Adjustment r39952 and is used as a WDS client + AP. First I wanted to use OpenWRT on the old v1.8 router, but as many of you have noticed the Wi-Fi stops working very often and is practically unusable. The official TP-LINK firmwares also drop Wi-Fi connections, but at least they reconnect after a few seconds. So I moved that v1.8 router to Gargoyle and it works much better, although I rarely use it. I also see people saying that DD-WRT works good on that problematic v1.8 devices.

Thanks mk13139 smile

I'm going to to do that (or see if it isn't done yet) smile

Hi gvalkov!

The Barrier Breaker (trunk) is in fact the development branch of openwrt. Here, developers add new features and they fix bugs.
The Attitude Adjustment is a release branch that keeps a "development" repository with bug fixing purposes, there is no new features added (I think).

@mk13139,
Thank you for all your hard work.  Could I bother you to update the WHR-HP-G300N release to the latest?  Thanks.

Hi everyone smile

I just flashed the latest openwrt trunk (r40462 http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … ctory.bin) snapshot and it worked.
I think the next time mk13139 update and compile his build root it will work smile

Hi mk13139,

first of all thanks for your work.

I purchased a P-Link TL-WR841N and "updated" your "openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841n-v9-squashfs-sysupgrade". After receiving the "~ Update successfull, wait a moment or refresh your screen" message I refreshed and tried to access the router through http://192.168.1.1. Somehow I cannot access the router at all, though.

Did something go wrong? How do i access the router again? Tbh my knowledge about programming is zero.

thanks anyways

@mk13139,
Thank you for all your hard work.  Could I bother you to update the WHR-HP-G300N release to the latest?  Thanks.

OpenWRT trunk is getting too large for the whr-hp-g300n for some reason, so the build root doesn't give me output files.
I kept the config as minimal as possible for a functional router, however the output is still too large. This is strange, since I can build for other 4mb routers with the same config.

You might as well open a ticket about it smile

Hi everyone smile

I just flashed the latest openwrt trunk (r40462 http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … ctory.bin) snapshot and it worked.
I think the next time mk13139 update and compile his build root it will work smile

Unfortunately your router is bricked. As stated in a few posts above you, r40438 bricks the v9 sad
The only way to recover it is via serial. You can buy a USB-TTL adapter very cheap on Ebay, and ask microcris if he would help you out since he just recovered his v9 smile

The router don't gets really really bricked, it just gets stucked in the bootloader (good for us lol )

Even if we don't have a serial cable (of course it is better to have one to avoid doing things in the dark), we should be able to recover the router. For that we just need to setup a TFTP server.


Everything is explained in here http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr841nd and it is very very much recommended to read that.

Ok,
1 -  enter in failsafe mode (turn off the router,  press and hold reset button, turn on the router and keep the reset button pressed until "lock??" led lights up)
in failsafe mode, you will get this:

TFTP from server 192.168.0.66; our IP address is 192.168.0.86
Filename 'wr841nv9_tp_recovery.bin'.

this means that the router will be looking for a wr841nv9_tp_recovery.bin file in a TFTP server located in the 192.168.0.66 address


So, you will need to setup a tftp server, assign the 192.168.0.66 address to your computer, to put a 'wr841nv9_tp_recovery.bin' file in the folder assigned to be the tftp root folder, to put the router in failsafe mode and to watch it come back to life smile

In the documentation section V9 has now been added:

Is a complied version of this available?

I have successfully installed the software however the Tl-841 V9 appears to have the txpower fixed at 19dBm.  The V8 chipset would allow a txpower setting up to 27dBm.  I use these as repeaters so the V9 units are worthless.

I am planning on switching to the WR842's unless someone has a lower cost unit that has a txpower of 27dBm or higher.

I'm sorry to hear that..
But why do you want 27dBm TX power? This seems kind of pointless since no client will ever come near 27dBm RX power. You're better off placing more accesspoints at lower TX rates.

@mk13139,
Thank you for all your hard work.  Could I bother you to update the WHR-HP-G300N release to the latest?  Thanks.

New build for the WHR-HP-G300N is up (r40561).

Finally upgraded from AA rc1 on a WDR-3400 (r40561).  Thanks for all the work!

sysntpd seems to be being used but the ntp servers don't seem to be in /etc/config/system and the Status/Overview page show blank time, uptime, etc.  This standard or something not quite right?

Is there any change to the OpenVPN config with the PolarSSL?  I'm following the guide from here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/vpn.openvpn but no love so far:

Have included OpenVPN into the windows firewall exclusion list.

Hi
I'm not sure if this is the pleace to report this, but I've loaded my TP-L WR841 V8 with the r40561 and for some reason it detects two wireless controller:

http://s19.postimg.org/achuv5n8f/tp841_v8_wifi.jpg

The first one (controller 0) has better "configurability", you can select channels, country, ecc... from the drop menu, BUT if configured alone, it goes in "client" mode, and there is no way to change it. The second, goes in master mode, but for example you can only chose "auto" or manually type the channel number and no "country" is shown in a drop menu, you have to manually write it
I have another 814 v8 loaded with the r39403 and it works ok, no duplicated wireless controller
Bye

mk13139 thanks for your work.
Is there a place to find in a comprehensible/ uncomplicated way the changes between releases?
Thanks in advance.

r40572 is up with a new patch from nbd added! WiFi instability issues should be a lot less.

Hi Jorge,

There are no big changes between builds, mainly bug fixes which can be found here: https://dev.openwrt.org/log/trunk/?mode=follow_copy

No sorry, that would require me to completely change the build environment..
