I own a TP-Link WR840N v11 router and am interested in installing OpenWRT to enhance its capabilities. Given the hardware constraints of this model (4 MB flash and 32 MB RAM), I understand that official support concluded with version 19.07.10.
I've come across a custom build tailored for the TL-WR841N v11 on GitHub: https://github.com/chankruze/TL-WR841N-v11. Considering the similarities between the WR840N v11 and WR841N v11, I'm curious if this firmware would be compatible with my device.
My Questions:
Compatibility: Has anyone successfully installed this or a similar custom firmware on the WR840N v11?
Alternative Recommendations: Are there other firmware versions or custom builds better suited for this router model?
Performance and Stability: What should I expect in terms of performance and stability if I proceed with such installations?
I aim to optimize the router's performance within its hardware limitations and would appreciate any insights or experiences you can share.
ITs not mine its comany That i work in and this i have install in it if there is better version of openwrt or anyother wrt that this support please reccomend me Powered by LuCI openwrt-18.06 branch (git-19.127.24963-84692e5) / OpenWrt 18.06-SNAPSHOT r7815-33e7beeb31
If it belongs to a company, make sure that the people who make purchasing decisions are aware that the device poses a serious security threat to the business. A device with firmware that is so out of date has numerous serious and actively exploited security vulnerabilities. Even upgrading to 19.07 won't solve that. And using some random firmware from someone on Github probably won't significantly help the situation, and it might even make things worse if it ends up being modified in ways that compromise security (intentionally and/or inadvertently).
My guess is that you don't want to be the cause of your company's security problems, so please don't try to use this router -- tell them that it is too old and not secure.
