[Solved] OpenWrt installation on TP-Link Archer C2600 v1.1

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I just purchased a TP-Link AC2600 which will replace my Archer C7.
Been running OpenWrt/Lede for years on the C7 but it was time for a small upgrade.

If I check the latest (stable) build for the AC2600 I have 3 options to download:

  • tplink_c2600-initramfs-uImage
  • tplink_c2600-squashfs-factory.bin
  • tplink_c2600-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin'

I know the difference between the two squashfs versions (factory - sysupgrade) but what about the initramfs-uImage? Can some one shed a light on this what this version does and if I need it?

You only need factory + sysupgrade image.
The initramfs is not needed for OpenWrt installtion. Just ignore it.
