Hello! I am a newbie in installing Openwrt. How it is possible to install Openwrt on a TP-Link Archer D7b? Is there a detailed Install guide or can you give me a detailed description? Thanks for your answers.
Don’t understand the b designation, but the wiki covering the supported Archer D7’s can be found on the device page.
You should also review the Quick Start Guide
Thanks for your answer. I do not understand to flash the Item. Which software I have to use? What I usually have to do?
I think he got the link wrong.
note the warning on the page.
Yep. Wrong link. My apologies.
To flash the Archer D7b what I have to do? Which things I must do and which software do I need? Thanks for your Help.
You need an USB TTL, to connect to the routers serial header, and a serial term app, like Putty.
The rest of the info is in the link.
Thanks a lot for your answer. Is there another Software which I can use, not PuTTY?
Any term app supporting serial communication will do, Putty's free, hence frequently used.
As I don't really think that you've read the device page, be aware that the integrated xDSL modem is not supported and will never be.
Thanks for your request between the DSL Modem. I want to use this device only as an internal router not for the internet. To flash the TP Link D7b IS IT better to braze any Pins or what can I do? Thanks!
Hello! To Install Openwrt on the TP-Archer D7b I need a detailed description. How I have to connect the cables from the USB TTL to the Router? How I have to configure TFTPD for uploading the Openwrt firmware? Thanks for your help.
You didn't really read the D7b wiki page, did you ?
You configure it for hosting, not ULing.
There's plenty TFTP TP-Link videos on YT.
Can you please send me the link and a link to a yt Video? I think I have read the wrong wiki page.

you need to adapt commands, files and IPs to match your device.
