Hello Jewele9187.
I was able to flash ACT routers with serial connections. Detailed instructions are available at https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/archer_c5_v4 for your convenience.
Good luck.
Hello Jewele9187.
I was able to flash ACT routers with serial connections. Detailed instructions are available at https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/archer_c5_v4 for your convenience.
Good luck.
I successfully flashed the image provided by dkpost3, then upgraded to the latest he also provided using a serial connection with a raspberry pi. Curious now what to do with all of the extra packages that are provided with the zip they shared. Could someone point me in the right directions? Thanks.
Hi,
Which version is your "latest"?
I am running below, which I would like to upgrade to latest also.

Update2:
After a few hours, both Wifi stopped. Need to disable Wireless-N again.
Update:
Tested with Wireless-N with iPhone 13 w/ iOS 16. Now I got 61Mbps. Previously igot 2 or 3 Mbps. Wireless-AC got 113Mbps - which is on par with before.

Thank you very much for sharing your build.
I downloaded and flashed the sysupgrade.bin without issues.

Hey, which repo are you building from? Wanted to try building a version without wifi packages for myself. Do you have a repo? Thanks.

Thanks! I will give this a try tomorrow. Is it necessary to update distfeeds.conf after using a snapshot build?
Please point me on how to prepare logs for posting.
I will re-enable Wireless-N and try to capture the relevant logs if the issues happens again.
Thank you very much!
Try these patch:
This is already in openwrt master. C5v4 uses the MT7620 eLNA, which is enabled by this patch.
Thank you for the suggestion.
I updated the new build v22.03.1 from @dkpost3 posted above. Enabled both Wireless-N and Wireless-AC, after running for more than 10 hours, both Wifi are still working.
Will keep it running and observe.
I have been reading the wiki and see some recommendations on downloading the config.buildinfo, or config.seed to retain future compatibility. (Links to this). Step 4.
I am new to this so forgive my ignorance, but after cloning the repo then checking out v22.03.1, is this considered a snapshot or a release? Is this the buildinfo I would use? Thanks.
Sorry that I am new to git and patching source codes.
My level is barely enough to finish simple instructions, like
How can I download your suggested patch?
I do not see a "Luci" section in make menuconfig
based on your instructions.
This is what I got.
Hi sampson,
this may answer your question :
https://forum.archive.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=64076
It looks like your scenario
Thank you very much for the pointer.
I re-run with the instruction with an empty directory. And I can confirm Luci section is here in make menuconfig.
Further, after running with the 2 feed commands at my original directory, Luci section do appears.
(I thought I have run those two commands already, but it must be my memory not working.)
Please anyone can give us an compiled build to install?
