I bought a Archer C60 v3, I expected something more compatible to openwrt which isnt the case. In its support page it appears that the firmware is compatible with v1 and v2. I already tried with the admin web panel, in the upgrade section, without success (error: invalid file type) also with shorter filenames.
Is possible install successfully the openwrt software witouth hacking it inside? (Or since this hardware version (v3) its not present in the page, I must assume that its not possible?)
Checking https://www.tp-link.com/dk/support/download/archer-c60/#Firmware there is a v3-specific version of the firmware. It might be that it is just different in a "magic number", it might be that TP-Link has completely changed the hardware (which they often do). The latter could be disastrous and unrecoverable.
Opening the case to get serial access would be how I would proceed. (OK, I'd actually return it if I could and buy something like the ipq40xx-based Linksys EA6350 for the US$75 that unit and the C60 cost through Amazon US).
Examination of https://static.tp-link.com/resources/gpl/C60V3_GPL_code.tar.gz vs. https://static.tp-link.com/resources/gpl/Archer_C60_V2_GPL.tar.bz2 might provide some clues.
I'll do a return if there is no clue in the way that this v3 allows a succesfull installation, and given my poor habilities in hardware.
I can return it in these next 10 days but will be a somehow problematic situation since I not bought it in a physical store. Thanks for that product suggestion, is a really better bet.
This new model has now finally reached Amazon Germany. I got one now, I will probably open it and see whats what.
Here is the bootlog

So CPU is the same, RAM is the same. The bootloader is new. But I'm no developer, so not sure where to go from here.
I managed to build a firmware. Please report problems you encounter. Use at your own risk!
I compiled it with ath10k, so 5GHz Wifi should also work after installation.
download 18.06.4 version with ath10k for Archer C60 V3
patch file for 18.06 branch
Please give some feedback.
Hi guys,
Any feedback about the patch, I'll might try it tonight.
Hi. I really wish to install it. Is there a basic way of installing? Or I have to mess with the hardware. Thanks
Download the zip file, unzip it, install the -factory.bin file in the TP-Link webinterface like every other Archer C60. See wiki for instructions.
I successfully installed yesterday night, it worked perfectly! Nice job. I then made the sysupgrade. I am just not sure how should I apply the patch. I have to follow this right ? (https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/use-patches-with-buildsystem)
No, the patch is only for developers who want wo build OpenWrt by themselfes. If you just want to use the router thats it.
@JamesT42 I downloaded and installed this firmware & it is working fine. Thanks for building this for v3. Just wondering why the firmware version is 18.06.4 while the latest available is 18.06.5 ? Will you be building 18.06.5 as well ?
Also, do I still have to install the sysupgrade.bin after installing the factory.bin image ?
Thanks again for building this 
No the sysupgrade is for upgrading / downgrading OpenWrt afterwards. For example to 18.06.5 after I finish compiling.
@JamesT42 Would be great if you could prep a patch for ath79 (ar71xx won't be getting any updates anymore) and file that for inclusion.
I've checked your patch and it looks like a quick (but working) hack, hardware seems very similar though judging from how you added support. Shouldn't be too difficult then.
I'm no developer. I just copied everything I could find from the V2 version and found the change for the led by trial and error. I have no experience with the ath79 stuff. I was hoping someone else with experience could do that.
Its working good. Can I proceed to normal update process to keep it up to date?
I do own a TPLINK-1350-C60-V3 router. Openwrt works fine except connecting more than 2 devices to the 5Ghz access point crashes it. The 2.4G and the Ethernet works well though. Also is there a way to revert back to the stock firmware? I tried TFTP and web recovery but i see no success. It would be helpful if you could educate me on how to revert back to the stock firmware.
I've quickly put together a patch prototype for ath79:
This missed the kernel magic hack and the LED adjustment, as the mach files in the patch mix v2 and v3. Please clearly state which LEDs are available and which gpio they use.
This is just based on the scarce information provided here so far. To get it merged, much more details about the device will be needed.
I have been given such a device and will try to build working support for it.
From the bootlog above, it looks like it's really a clone of the v2 ...
