Will try again new driver. 20190301 version still disconects clients...
Question: How can I install stock fw again? Tried to install with tftp TL-WR841Nv13_ES_0.9.1_4.16_up_boot[180524-rel55361].bin which shouold be right version but V13 blinks all leds in a endless loop. Installing OpenWRT with tftp again works...
Any idea?
Revert to stock:
http://wrt.raxp.ru/stock/wr841n-v13-stock.bin
Flash with tftp, rename to tp_recovery.bin .
Juliano
Yes this version works! Thanks a lot!
One more question: I always compile my own OpenWRT Version with iptraf, password enabled etc.
in case of a reset I will not loose everything.
I guess you copy driver stuff in some place to compile. Were can I get the newest driver version and were should I put it to compile by myself, my openwrt version?
Hello everyone, I installed the latest compilation on 03/17/2019. The wifi seems to be stable, I did not have disconnections nor wait times exhausted when loading a web page. I'm using it as a router. The driver has improved a lot since the last time I tried it a few months ago. I think that I will no longer install the stock firmware, also in stock tplink firmware, the wifi network disappeared after a few hours or until completing 1 day.
What I do miss and I am trying to configure is to limit the bandwidth to the wifi network of guests, using multi SSID for my main network and the guest network with OpenWrt in this 840n v4.
The new compilations are appreciated.
Hi.
There was an update in Openwrt and drivers this day and i consider important...
New build uploaded.
Juliano
Will try new version Thanks
It seems that version 20190301 was more stable than 20190316 about disconnection clients...
One more questions about compiling my own version.
Does the driver compile with "old OpenWRT versions" or do you update everytime the whole repository?
I have currently 18.06.1-r2-w-r7258-5eb055306f version and want to try compile newest driver with this version....
My Makefile of mt76 looks the following by default (post #121):

Will this update the whole OpenWRT if it works with a or will it get only mt76 updates?
Julian Build_20190323 does not install on my 841n v13.0 nor sysupgrade nor tftp install.
Endless loop of all leds blinking. Did you try to install?
Yep, i always test my builds before upload...
Anyway, Felix and mt76 developers made importants updates since this day...
It is on my my pCloud , as always...
Juliano
My question is because I have downloaded and installed your lateste version on V13.0 of your Build_20190323 and does break the device...
Julian one more question. Which is the right way to contact Felix? I cannot find to contact him about an problem.
The mac80211.c has now an implicit declaration of function 'ieee80211_schedule_txq and therefore won't compile on my sistem at least because all warnings are treated as errors (OpenWRT default?)
Neverthelss this function should be declared I think.
Thank you for compiling it again. I have been using Build_20190328_Driver20190327 from last 2 days and seems to be stable.
I will keep you posted about the issues if I face again.
Thanks again for taking your time for this project

Here is my update: I am using it from last 2 weeks as a main router and its seems to be pretty good in terms of stability, but intermittently I still see packet drops for 4-5 packets and it will recover on its own. I don't know if my ISP has issues or there is incorrect config.
A new driver update will be comming in the next days, so, letĀ“s wait.
I will keep the post and the builds updated.
Regards,
Juliano

Thanks again for putting together the latest driver/fixes.
I have flashed it today and till now everything looks good except changing SSID name/password is failing to commit so I selected Apply Anyway which worked (even performed factory reset with same failure).
I will keep you posted about its usage.
Thank you,
Santosh
@julianocs
Based on 2 days testing: Not much difference in stability, as I could still see packet loss from interface (laptop not from inside openwrt) as you can see below
--- google.com ping statistics ---
236 packets transmitted, 213 packets received, 9.7% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 63.147/138.593/753.376/60.842 ms
Thanks for the feedback.
Developers are still working on the driver, itĀ“is not officially released yet.
Anyway, i made a new build now, there are some fixes from previous version.
