Hi all,

Would liked to find out if openwrt is compatible with TL-WDR6500?
YOur contribution is very much appreciated.

don't think so currently, but theoretically supportable given the chipset.

I read in this post: https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/ope … 34928.html

That the WDR6500v2 is now supported!

I searched for WDR6500 on the Supported Devices list but it's still not there

I'm new to OpenWRT, how can I flash my WDR6500v2?

-Jamie M.

It seems to be available in Trunk.  Look at the files:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … actory.bin
and
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … pgrade.bin

Use the factory if flashing from the stock firmware (i.e.: the one from the manufactuer), or the sysupgrade if flashing from OpenWrt.

Wow, nice, thanks!

-Jamie M.

The data we have in our ToH regarding the TL-WDR6500v2 is incomplete (CPU MHz, MB RAM, MB flash missing, amongst others).

If someone has the data available, please be so kind and update the techdata page:

Thanks!

https://downloads.openwrt.org/ is not yet fully operational again after the recent server update.

Hello there! I have bought this router as well, as I used to be on a business trip in China. However, I'm not able to flash the openwrt firmware. I always received the 18005 error code. I would be grateful for any help/solution!

Best regards

You should use the forum Search link at the top of these pages to search for "error 18005."  There are many posts and threads with this problem.  Two potential solutions:

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 70#p312170

Just be aware that if there is any error when you flash your router can end up bricked and require TFTP recovery (easy) or serial port connection (hard, crack open the router and solder on serial pins or pad and connect with a special USB-to-TTL cable).  HTH.
