Hi,
I need ré-flash my router and put a new flash chip, the old 64bits (8mb), revive a new 128bits (16mb) flash chip, instalo LEDE correto vs and alo workimg fine.
My question is, this. Upgrade wiil make any advantage for me and system? Or i need some special configuration in my system?
You will need to build a new image with proper new specs... I don't know how. try "custom flash size build image" on lede or openwrt forums.
braian87b, thx for you reply, i will try this.
Hello,
I am a newbie in the world of soft for router, my first experience, and brick my Archer C50, and I needed a lot of help to return the same life, but with the help of user of this forum, the same is back, with some improvements and Small adjustments to be made, and for this I count again with the help of the most experienced.
I had to change the flash chip and I installed a 16Mb, (w25q128FV), but in the system ma only 4Mb available free, in the Kernel log it is correctly recognized as can be seen in the attachment, but in the vidiferenca in practice, my question , Should I make any modifications in the FW sources to take advantage of this made MOD?
To recover the brick archer, I had to use a USB SPI flash recorder, and I had to use a DUMP that was made available by a friend of the forum, because by recording only the file downloaded from the TP-Link website, it did not connect correctly , But that caused me to lose the original MAC address of the router, and the same was used in the DUMP file, I would have a way to correct this error, and to restart the router using the correct MACs, which were recorded On your factory label?
How do I do via SSH, since there is no serial access, see the router logs?
Thank you for all the help I received, so that I can start in this learning process.
Grateful

That seems to be a wifi problem, if I dont remember wrongly, it is a known problem, try it disabling it with wifi off, to see if persist. you can google portions of the error to see bug posts, try using as open AP without any key first.
