Hey! I'm new here and not sure if that's the right forum, but I give it a try

Anyone know if there is a working image out there? I saw the news  (https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=63415) and thought that finally an official image would work, but I bricked my TP-Link.
I was able to recovery it via FTPT. So I guess this page still says the truth: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr941nd

I used the following image: https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_cal … actory.bin

Thank you very much! I love OpenWRT

I can confirm the same issue, just bricked my TL-WR941ND v6 (int). After all, recovering via TFTP still works.

That makes me sad
I can't use the router with the default firmware.

If the buildbot is building images for this model of router that bricks them, perhaps a trouble ticket should be filed?  Better not to publish a bricking firmware on the downloads website -- I would hope there would be general agreement.  Disable that target until it's patched properly?

It seems that this patch:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/504451/

is only partial.  Anyone willing to crack one open, hook up serial, and post output for developers to look at?  Perhaps they can patch the patch, it already may be close to working?

I found some thing strange on network with my router at 15.05.1. at normal at:
"config interface 'lan'
.....
option ifname 'etho' "
but in the other
"config interface 'lan'
.....
option ifname 'etho.1 eth0' "
I found to resolve:
set IP of PC: 192.168.1.2
mask             255.255.255.0
gateway        192.168.1.1
use angryscan program scan IP repeatly and cmd prompt ping 192.168.1.1 -t
ultil IP 192.168.1.1 respone.
after that you can telnet to router and change "th0.1 eth0" to 'eth0"
and it OK (the true router not bricked) .

Even pictures of the internal board and the markings on the chips would be helpful to understand what's going on.  There was also an issue with some tp-link devices where they used a newer flash chip that wasn't supported in CC.  Since you have tftp flashing working, try a trunk snapshot to see if it is the new flash chip issue.

@oneru As far as I know you can find internal picture of the router (v3) here: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr940n
@dktn not sure if i get what you mean. you are saying cc 15.05.1 is working on your router?

It works on my router tlmr3420v2, tlwr940v4, wzrhpg300nh.problem is that i shows you. If you like this firmware please send me your file network.
I will make firmware only change in your network file

Wiggle: try a trunk snapshot, something like https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … pgrade.bin

@dktn thanks, i managed to get my router working with the tp link firmware like i want. it's not by far as good as with openwrt, but i think i can wait.

@oneru i think u mean this? https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … actory.bin
as far as i don't have openwrt already installed on the wr940n v3

i saw someone updated https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr941nd, with the following statement:

someone want to give it a try?
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … x/generic/
direct link: https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … actory.bin

@wiggle yes, you're correct, I intended the factory version.  I'd try it, but don't have that specific hardware on hand.

@oneru, thank you, the latest trunk r49083 image works mostly fine. Kernel version 4.1.20 and max TX power rised up to 630mW (28 dBm) compared to my old 941nd routers.

thanks
what means mostly?

some hangings with Luci -> Network -> Wifi -> Edit selected network (from 20 sec to "connection timed out"), impossibility to delete WAN6 interface in Luci (after all in CLI everything is fine)  But not sure, I use Image Generator, other packages may cause such issues.
