Openwrt cannot be installed on tl-cpe510 in the china region

006w · April 27, 2024, 3:41am

Hello everyone, I am using TL-CPE510V1 produced in China, using [OpenWrt Wiki] TP-Link CPE510/CPE520 to upgrade the firmware, the firmware error is prompted, it cannot be upgraded, how to upgrade the TL-CPE510 V1 version produced in China to OPENWrt, thank you very much

The official firmware address is:
[TL-CPE510 V1.0_160108 Standard Edition - Download Area - TP-LINK Commercial Network] (https://smb.tp-link.com.cn/service/detail_download_2492.html)

Since I don't know English, the text translated by translation software may not be ideal, so I apologize in advance

The new compatible router strings should be added here

          		.support_trail = '\xff',
          		.soft_ver = NULL,

1/ Figure out link for firmware (like zip file) download
2/ Some things are made jokes in translation, just make it shorter and for safety add Chinese original
3/ Certainly you have to open issue on GitHub tracker. Maybe ImmortalWRT can help you with it.

Can you take a picture of the label on the back of tdevice, edit to cover all numbers and barcodes except top line of device model

If you are able to compile firmware try with that one change only.
Sticker says 1.1 but bin file has everything else but CN+1.1

Thank you, I don't know how to edit the firmware, I'm not a computer professional, I can only wait for the big guy or the official to provide the firmware, thank you for your answer, thank you
