Hello good people, as the world probably know, internet connection here in the Philippines suck, and it's too expensive. My family is literally paying 70 usd for a 10mb/s connection which isn't even a fiber connection. I desperately need help to change my router firmware.
I recently bought a new router because my old one (provided by my isp) is 7 yrs old and constantly failing, however I found out that the new router QoS feature is very limited, and there's no option for bandwidth control.
As of the moment 6 devices are sharing in the connection, and my in game latency became unbearable, and my only choice is to control upload and download of each device.
After a bit of googling I found out that I can change the firmware of my router, but I couldn't find a specific firmware for my router. My router is TP LINK TL-WR820N
I am so desperate to install a different firmware but I'm also afraid of destroying my router if I make a mistake.
I would have made my own if I can but I have no knowledge about Linux and other needed stuff. I came here maybe expert people can help me out. Thank you all so much.
Well never say never. I am still waiting for my last shipment from abroad. Then the testing begins. However, it is very unlikely and nearly impossible to make even an extremely stipped down version of OpenWrt working on this device without hardware mods. Keep an eye on my topics I will update when my last parts have arrived. Or send me a pm. That's also okay.
As of now, it's just a project for me to learn and
understand more about OpenWrt.
