Hello,
I just bought a TP-Link Archer c7 v2, EU version with dd-wrt v3.0 already installed. But I would like to install OpenWrt to enjoy also the package collection.
A quick google research gives me this:

Since this aricle is a bit outdated (from 2013), I decided to read more about the steps and found the following links:

The first link is about the webrevert file in order to install back the original firmware. No problem here. But then, the second link learned me that TP-Link included some filechecker so as to stop the possibility to install third-party firmware on their products. But also that the serial number first four must be greater than 215C (Mine starts with 215B). So I found this third link which provides a original TP-Link firmware but without this filechecker.
As you might expect I'm kinda lost now what procedure should I follow in order to get OpenWrt installed on my router. I would greatly appreciate someone telling me the steps to follow in my case.
Best regards,
