Archer C7 v5 19.07.3 via Web GUI

TP-Link has upgraded its OEM firmware for the v5 to 1.0.15 Build 20200628 rel.63501(5553) I have weveral C7 v5's that I'd like to put on OpenWRT w/o using TFTP. Is it now possible to upgrade through the stock's web gui?

For me it doesn't work through the webinterface. The upload gets stuck on 0%.

The wiki mentions that renaming the long filename to s.th. like firmware.bin could help, but it doesn't for me

Hi
Did tftp work for you?

Did you successfully flash openwrt on archer c7 v5?
