Installing OpenWrt on TP-Link Archer C50 v6

Hey there,

I already bricked a device because I installed stuff I didn't really understand. Where do I get the binary I install on this router?

https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/archer-c50

https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=SNAPSHOT&target=ramips%2Fmt76x8&id=tplink_archer-c50-v6

https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=e9ac1b19e0f3d383ab83373c261bfb5527a29521

Do I have to DD the Kernel with the firmware?

you need to extract the boot loader from the stock image, and attach it to the openwrt sysupgrade image.

and how do I do that?

dd if=tpl.bin of=boot.bin bs=131584 count=1
cat owrt.bin >> boot.bin

?

as you just pasted ....

okay I bricked it again but managed to install openwrt over TFTP - finally.

Thank you!
