Flash instruction:

Until (if at all) TP-Link fixes described problem, the only way to flash
LEDE image in these devices is to use tftp recovery mode in U-Boot:

  1. Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and tftp server.
  2. Rename "lede-ramips-mt7628-tl-wr84...-squashfs-tftp-recovery.bin"
    to "tp_recovery.bin" and place it in tftp server directory.
  3. Connect PC with one of LAN ports, press the reset button, power up
    the router and keep button pressed for around 6-7 seconds, until
    device starts downloading the file.
  4. Router will download file from server, write it to flash and reboot.

To access U-Boot CLI, keep pressed "4" key during boot.
