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

Thanks a lot, amq.

Installed on all my routers and everything is working great, a lot more stable than latest openwrt build.

A question : It´s possible include SQM or some kind of QoS on your release?
Or there isn´t enough space on the router?

Regards!

There is not enough space for sqm/qos.

Removing OpenVPN would help, but you need to recompile the image for that.

hi amq

could you please compile (an up2date) host image - with sqm|qos features inside?
In my opinion sqm|qos is more important, than an *vpn connection...

Thanks in advance

New build is up, with QoS :slight_smile:

Thanks for this.... been struggling to get LEDE on my WR841N and eventually found this discussion. Made it much easier.

If you do have any spare time, the only thing that I am now struggling with, is manually installing is ddns-scripts and luci-app-ddns. :wink:

Cheers!

@amq

I posted my problem here:

Do you have any advice for me?

SOLVED:

It works perfect on my 841nd v9!

Many thanks for providing it!!! :+1:

Build date 22.1.2017.
dropbox

Supported devices:
tl-wr841n-v1.5
tl-wr841n-v3
tl-wr841n-v5
tl-wr841n-v7
tl-wr841n-v8
tl-wr841n-v9
tl-wr841n-v10
tl-wr841n-v11

Changelog:
-Removed kernel debugging
-Disabled IPv6 and ppp pppoe
-squashfs block size 1024 Kib
-Compiled with gcc 6.3
-LuCI with Material theme
-Adblock with uclient-fetch instead of wget enabled out of the box with adaway, disconnect, winspy and yoyo blocklists
-SQM
-dnscrypt-proxy (needs configuring /etc/config/dhcp - wiki ). By default it uses opennic anycast DNS resolver
-nano

Adblock should work out of the box without any configuring needed. If you have special network configuration, reboot adblock service after setting up network and it should work. There is no space available for additional block lists so I decided not to include luci adblock app.
I will try to include IPv6 in next build.

Nice work, thank you! Thumbs up for "how to achieve" and ipv6 removed, but thumb down for upnp removed (and not mentioning it) in last release :wink: I'm reverting back to older release because of upnp. Adblock is nice, but more and more pages won't let you browse when they detect adblock, so I prefer ublock in firefox.

Btw. how do you integrate jows reghack? Never managed to do it myself :frowning:

If it helps, I just posted some useful information on how to enable channels 12 and 13. Have a look on the forum.

@nozombian only releases in the first post come from me. Regarding reghack, it's this:

Disable:
_Kernel modules - Wireless Drivers - kmod-ath - Force Atheros drivers to respect the user's regdomain settings

@hmd61551 maybe it would be a good idea to create a separate topic for your release? Feel free to use anything from here (scripts etc).

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.

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
