Build for TP-Link TL-WR841N(D) [all versions]

btw, I'll post a new release soon. No reductions compared to first post, just fresh LEDE + DDNS, if it fits.

Thanks a lot amq...
Waiting for your release with LEDE + DDNS to upgrade all my routers.

Oh now I see that hmd61551 is a new player in town :slight_smile: Thank you @amq, looking for your new "genuine" release :wink:

Thank you @deuteragenie, I was always compiling with "Force Atheros drivers to respect" for channels 12, 13, but I was unable to set country 00 and raise txpower to 20 with my past builds (lede has very weak signal in default build compared to stock), but with amq's release it works better, so I thought it has jow's reghack integrated. Nice to hear it works without it too, I have not tested to compile myself for a while now.

Btw. ppp-like packages can save some flash too, I always removed them, because I never needed them, but maybe someone uses them. @amq I'd not waste flash with ddns package, when the same can be done with mbed tls enabled uclient fetch (or even wget) and cron.

It is just unbelievable how much you can fit in 4MB...

Hi, thanks for your effort. Are you sure this build is ok? There are a lot of strange messages in logread:

etc.

Also I'm unable to set country 00 and raise tx limit, same as with build I make myself. Wish I could find a way how to integrate jow's reghack into build, because it eats a lot of space when installed additionally, so into your build it does not fit.

"failed to find a module" is a cosmetic LEDE bug [1]

Reghack in my build only provides two additional channels (12, 13). It does not let you set the txpower higher than 20 (for that you'd need additional modifications anyway).

New build is up. 17.01 stable branch + https for LuCI

Feedback is highly welcome :slight_smile:

Working great over here!

Hello @amq .

I will be always grateful for your work.
Actually, i´m using @hmd61551 JULIA build, because SQM works better than old QoS for me
and i don´t need VPN...

As we are many in the world, and each one needs a type of firmware, people like you and @hmd61551 will always help us.

Regards and sorry for the bad english...

hi,
could this build be used for tplink 740n v 4.28 (pretty much same hw except one less antenna)?

Yeah, I think I could add the following devices in the next release:
TL-WA701ND
TL-WA801ND
TL-WA901ND
TL-WR940N
TL-WR740N

That would be great :slight_smile: , thanks for reply.

Hello @amq.

Have you ever considered replace QoS for SQM in your builds? Or you think that QoS is better? There's enough space to do this?

Regards.
Juliano

SQM requires more space and currently there is no way to fit it in without removing some features, which I won't do. From my experience, QoS does its job.

@amq

Thanks for feedback.
Just a suggestion.

Juliano

There were hardly any relevant for us changes in LEDE since the last build. r3218 is stable, and I recommend using it until we get kernel 4.9.

Amazing, It is very helpful to see instructions of how you achieve the modifications and that helpful notes too. Thanks!

I have a 841nv8 router with 8M flash and 64M memory ,do you know how to build 8M image for it?

Hey guys, Im using the build posted on OP.
Can someone tell me how to enable dnscrypt? Its not enabled out of the box.

Thanks in advance.

edit- Tried to install dnscrypt-proxy but apparently im out of space.
