Hi i recently tried installing openwrt on my Tp-Link Archer A5 v4, after the image flashed the router was stuck in boot loop
I tried using the tftp method but without sucsess, i cant get the device to connect to the tftp server on my pc
After the furst try to put in tftp mode, it maybe wiped the old firmware but didunt find the new, So i was stuck with just the power indicator stayng solid green, and the bilt in switch led worked
But no mater what i tried, changed tftp servers, ip adresses, machines nothing helped, the device was going in tftp mode from what i see (power + wps light up for 15s and afther that it just reboot, probably due to not managing to find the tftp server)
Maybe i fried somthing along the way
Any recomendations, and ways to fix it or its just it brick at this point?
As i said in the beginig the router dosent req any file from the tftp, it just boot in to the tftp for 15s after that reboots with solid green power led
update: i did manage to find part of thr problem and that was the cable i was using but now i cant figure out why the tftp server dosent transfer the file over
here is a over view of what hapend, captured using wireshark
Wait a minute! If I understand correctly your model is identical to archer c50 v4. So you can prepare recovery image as described in Wiki. Simply add 192k zero header to prev tp_recovery.bin files:
