The device has extremely slow flash chip. It takes close to 20 minutes to flash, you have to flash combination of oem bootloader block +openwrt concatenation , then only sysupgrades. my V4 is a bit faster still 6-7min for sysupgrades.
Serial header is right next to live mains prongs to make recovery more memorable.
Use smaller older image (prepared with oem boot block) without luci to not lose patience during first install. Then sysupgrade to 23.05.2 until situation is clarified.
Hello everyone,
I have a question to ask you please: I would like to know if the OpenWRT 24.10.0 version is now compatible with the TP-Link RE 200 v1 model (while the download page states that “The latest OpenWrt releases (23.05.3, 23.05.4 and 22.03.7) are broken on the RE200 v1!”) ?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Thank you for your (really quick) feedback.
Precisely, the oldest available version (v21) appears to be as heavy as v24, which leaves me some concerns about the success of a “v21 then v24” operation.
That's why I was wondering about direct installation of a v24.
Thank you for your help.
