Topic: Support for TP-Link TL-WR843N V2

The content of this topic has been archived on 15 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello. I've got a TL-WR843N V2  (SoC QCA9533-BL3A) which isn't supported by OpenWrt yet. Router seems to be similar to TL-WR841N V10-V11, but with POE support. Details: https://fccid.io/TE7WR843NV2
I was wondering if someone could modify TL-WR841N V10 firmware for flashing my WR843N V2 ?
Regards

Well... I made it myself. Now everything works fine, except LEDs.
1. Modify tl-wr841n-v10 factory firmware according to https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 67#p206667
2. Rename firmware to wr843nv2_tp_recovery.bin
3. Start TFTP recovery via bootloader according to https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl … v9_v10_v11
4. [OPTIONAL] It might be a good idea then to sysupgrade router via SSH with 841n V10 firmware (e.g. sysupgrade -F openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841-v10-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin) - for future updates if no support from OpenWrt.
Have a nice day everybody

Thanks @4K, this just helped me a lot!
