Hi all
Am very new to all of this so can you take it easy on me.
I just bought the above router today, but want to install OpenWRT on it and I've looked on the various pages and the latest link for download is v11, what can I do? This router is possible buy only in china.
Thanks
How does TL-WR841N v12 differ from v11?
To find out, provide a complete serial bootlog + pictures of each and every chip on the mainboard of the router.

Any possible port to this device?
DRAM: 8 MB -> Impossible to support
Please help me install openwrt on this router.Here message from LEDE mail arhive.
Thanks.

This router has the same hardware of TP-LINK TL-WR841N v11 (same
FCC ID, same TFTP image name...).
The stock firmware web interface does not seem to accept the LEDE
factory image, but it can be flashed via the u-boot TFTP recovery
by long-pressing the reset button after power on.
So, I have just made a test (using TL-WR841N v9 "converted" to v12 EU) and factory-eu image works without any problems (Firefox 52).
I'm going to pick up your patch with small change in commit message and subject (please, don't add dot at the end of the subject next time).

The TFTP image name is wr841nv11_tp_recovery.bin (yes, v11, not v12).

Hello everyone,
I just bought a TL-WR841N(EU) of amazon.de and got a V12. If you do not mind me asking naively: What do the posts above mean for the support of this device? Is a supported version coming?
I checked the trunk builds, they only extend to v11, but are quite dated already? march, 23rd for those I found.
cheers
Jan
i don't have the v12 router but i heard it is same as v11 in terms of hardware. set your pc's ip to 192.168.0.66. set a tftp server an put bin image file of v10 inside it named "tp_recovery.bin" (or put lede image for v12 if you can't flush using web interface). connect the ethernet cable to router. power off the router. while holding reset button power on the router and keep holding until tftp transfer is done.
caution: your router can get soft bricked. do it on your own risk.

This router is possible buy only in china.
Looks like another case of them also having a Chinese market only version with small memory chips and special firmware. So if you see a "V12" but the box has only Chinese writing on it, be careful.

LEDE works like a charm. I was able to flash it through the tp-link web interface. Thanks
Hello,
I have the TL-WR841N V12 routeur of TPLink. I would like to be able to use it to connect to my internet providing router via wifi, not ethernet, then use it as a switch for other computers.
I understand that I need to flash it and install openwrt.
How can I do that via LEDE? I don't know how it works at all.
Do I use the v11 firmware?
Thank you so much.

Just to confirm that LEDE's release works.
I have succesfully installed the firmware tl-wr841-v12-squashfs-factory-eu.bin from LEDE's repository (downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01-SNAPSHOT/targets/ar71xx/generic/) on a TL-WR841N(EU) V12.
IMPORTANT: If you install the firmware via TFTP, make sure to rename the firmware as wr841nv11_tp_recovery and not wr841nv12_tp_recovery. Source: wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr841nd#tftp_recovery_via_bootloader_for_v8_v9_v10_v11_v12
In fact I just had to use WDS option in the original firmware to connect to my internet router wifi.
The discussion might have continued from here.
