Topic: TL-WR710N V2 als 8MB flash, not 4MB

According to
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr710n
the flash size of version 2 has been reduced to 4MB compared to 8MB in version 1.2.
As a result the firmware image
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … actory.bin
has just about half the size of version 1.2.

I contacted TP-Link support and they assured, the flash in version 2 is also and definitely 8MB.
Question is: What must be changed in the Makefiles to reflect this 8MB and make a larger image with more packages available?

Thanks for the clarification, you are right. I added a serial console and can confirm, 4MB.
Obviously the TP-Link hotline had the wrong information.
