I need a few days before I can test master and v18 both. Will advise in here.
I appreciate some help for finding correct v18 and master images for my device.
Device search for v18 does not show any "archer c7" or "QCA956X" architecture for "tp-link".
Thanks.
I could find v19 snapshot image from 2nd of November (today).
I installed it with save configuration option not checked
Unfortunately, I am still having problems with known to be problematic web sites. Below is just to show that OS is latest and have an internet connection. Web sites, I tried to reach from client browser and they did not get loaded.

I still could not find any v18 image to uplaod and test.
I will be also asking for instructions for downgrading using a ssh console as luci installation did not go well (got parse errors and etc) and I cannot use GUI.
Thanks & Regards,
Ertan

Don't keep settings when changing major versions, like from 19 to 18.
Got a problem while downgrading as below:
root@OpenWrt:/tmp# sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/openwrt-18.06.8-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v5-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Device tplink,archer-c7-v5 not supported by this image
Supported devices: archer-c7-v5
Image check failed.
root@OpenWrt:/tmp#
Probably device naming between v18 and v19 is not same. Is there any way that I can load that v18 image?
Thanks.
use '-n -v -F'
Installation commands:
root@OpenWrt:/tmp# sysupgrade -F -n -v /tmp/openwrt-18.06.8-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v5-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Device tplink,archer-c7-v5 not supported by this image
Supported devices: archer-c7-v5
Image check failed but --force given - will update anyway!
Commencing upgrade. Closing all shell sessions.
Still same problem. Cannot access some of the web sites
