Hello Hostle19, I registered at wire-wrt to gain acces to the bin files with LUCI, aslo under the name thibaultfouq.

I installed a factory bin without luci and i cannot install the package due to lack of space.
How can i reinstall your bin on the device which includes LUCI?

Thanks in advance

Be advised that i am an absolute novice . I did the task out of the need to make it work ;

using a windows machine , i downloaded the sysupgrade image that user borromini uploaded (link in page 2, post 37)

also downloaded PuTTy and WinSCP (both free)

connected using PuTTy via ethernet cable , SSH to ip 192.168.1.1

user root , password empty, assigned new password with passwd command

with winscp , set protocol to SCP, Ip 192.168.1.1, user root, password the password you assigned

with winscp transferred the sysupgrade image from my hard disk to /tmp directory in AP , then run from putty :

sysupgrade -v /tmp/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wa901nd-v4-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

wait ...and voila, you have LuCi

Thanks for the reply. I got my v4 running with Luci now! (bin from hostle19)
I did everything in SSH, and downloaded the .bin sysupgrade file with luci from my own ftp server (thought that was the easiest solution)

Connect the acces point to your pc and set your ip to 192.168.1.2 and the default gateway to 192.168.1.1.
Ssh should work.

What kind of "connection errors" did you get ? Can you list them ?

Hi Hostle, i have subscribe to allready and need permissions to to download. THX

Dear hostle19 - could you please give access to the bins?
Username is lofinko1983
Thanks in advance

Hello hostle19,

can you also provide access for user mr.sarge78? Thank you!

Could you please give me download access as well? User de____Frons

PM me your username at the site and I will add you.

Hello,
Here, you can download the latest build of OpenWrt for the WA901ND v4.
LuCi is included. Everything works fine.

However, I use this two options :
        option wpa_group_rekey '0'
        option disassoc_low_ack '0'

But with these options, Luci doesn't reconize anymore the wifi interface, even if the wireless work fine.
Edit : Sorry I can't post here the link for the image : send me a message instead.

HI , I have registered on the forum, please approve me to download...

iraklish25

good job, but i can't install LuCi.

for Hostle, could you give me the access to your Bins on your forum?i've already registered with the same account (spartacus85)

thanks a liot

Hi hostle19, I tried to sign-up to fire-wrt last year under the ID andrewosbo, but as yet have not been approved for the site. I have a 901nd v4 AP and was hoping to be able to install your CC software version to get me around the fact that my AP has the "EU" software on it. Will your software allow me to install CC on my new 901nd v4? Can I have access to your site please?

Hello there, well I have a problem with my TL-WA901ND v4. I think it is bricked!

I used this link of (I am not allowed to post links, remove the space between htt & ps in the following link)

htt ps://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wa901nd-v4-squashfs-factory.bin

to install OpenWRT on my TL-WA901ND v4 and was installed succesfully but without web interface, only ssh on 22. Then, I installed LuCI but as you know, there was not enough space for it to install properly.
If only I had noticed the links of hostle19 in the first time, I surely would avoid this problem. After that, I managed to restore the original tp-link firmware with the mtd command and , you know, I saw the line error of " [e]Failed to erase block"

From this point, my router is bricked with power LED constantly on and the others looping with flashing ON for 2 seconds, and then OFF for 3 seconds. I can't also ping it or see it via LAN because the network adapter icon has a red "X" if you know what I mean (bottom-right in windows toolbar). I tried TFTP recovery with my ip set as 192.168.0.66 and 192.168.1.100 , but without luck.

My question is can TFTP recovery works when the computer cannot see it like I described above? Or my only solution is to go serial?

Hi hostle19,

Please grant me access on fire-wrt.com my user name: gcvanasel!

Hi hostle19,

I managed to replace my bricked TL-WA901ND v4 with a new one (EU) version, without spending anything! They probably didn't consider it as bricking but as an initial faulty problem.

Can you please give me access on fire-wrt.com to download your bins? I can't receive any e-mail of completing registration.
