Hi,
I have a TP-Link Archer MR600(ZA-N) v5 (according to the faceplate on the router itself)
However if I look at the local website for TP-Link it lists only a model MR 600(EU) v5 and if I look at the EU TP-Link server it only has up to v3 not v5.
Also the firmware listed on the website is build 231106 while the router itself claims its using 1.0.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 241101 Rel.38331n and I cant find a firmware build 241101 anywhere on any of the tp-link websites for any hardware version at all.
The openWRT build for the MR600(EU) v2 is not accepted by the existing firmware and while i am capable of performing an TFTP upload I would prefer to know if it will work or what i need to change to be able to use that kernal.
With all of the conflicting information from TP-link itself i honestly have no idea what i should look at or where to find valid information to work from
It is most likely provider cpe version then.
Can you get system log from cold boot to see if it is similar to supported v2?
I have the log, unfortunately it doesnt list any relevant data about hardware
This is the log with details set to all and level set to debug

I have set the expiry to 1 week
yes, thats the one i found too, labelled as EU instead of ZA-N and also build 231106 instead of the 241101 alrdy loaded
All -> Debug is maximum level? alert, critical, error, warning, notice and information are lower log levels than debug? there is no trace level

Yep, dsometimes debug, sometimes maximum, on normal linux that would be dmesg
so what do i need to do to get the v2 openwrt working on this device?
Youll need to binwñlk and extract and decompile dts from oem fw and compare to other MRxxxx models then get oem fw backed up and start netbooting other devices kernel.
Sinc you hold bootlog tight locked go figure urself?
