Topic: TL-MR3040 Firmware dump

The content of this topic has been archived on 23 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I have been looking around but I couldn't find an answer. Is it possible to dump the firmware installed on this device? If so, how? There is no openWrt installed on it just yet but I need to preserve the original fw in case I have to go back to it.

one option is to connect a serial cable, do this and try to use the available tools like cat or dd to copy the mtd partitions to some other destination (usb flash drive, netcat, ftp,... whatever is available).
