oh, ok, i'll try that.

and about the comming back to a previous release?

Ok, been a complete noob here and I managed to somehow screw up my last firmware update so I can no longer get into the web interface.....how I managed to screw up a web ui upload I have no idea lol

I can telnet into the router via qss button and putty (windows) etc so I haven't killed it completely.  I've tried to flash via telnet etc but can't seem to get it to work, it's likely me using the wrong command so could some kind person please give me easy steps to follow to upload a new firmware without the web gui smile

I've got the rc6 firmware downloaded already. 

Thanks in advance

Hallo. im a complete noob too and had the same problem and flashed my old *.bin back with "mtd -r write /tmp/oldimage.bin firmware" .

WR1043 v1.8

RC5 is rock stable for me, probably the most stable firmware I've tried on the router so far.  But I see the Wiki recommends RC6.  So I tried that, have tried flashing it various ways and have downloaded it a couple times now. 

I'm having nothing but problems with it.  WiFi constantly drops/clients constantly loose connection and then can't reconnect until the router is power cycled.  All connections never show any information, they just show collecting information (yes, browser cache was cleared and 6 different browsers were tried.  And tried on more then one pc).

Weired,

I use rc6 since it came out and have had no problems so far, all is rock soild.

When upgrading try NOT to save the old configuration.
There is some LuCI changes from RC5 to RC6

How is the performance compared to stock TPLINK firmware of WIFI, LAN and WAN?

I'm using OpenWrt Backfire 10.03.1-RC6 it works like a charm, have a Huawei 3G dongle with 2 gigs mSD as a extroot on it.

Never been used original firmware on my 1043-ND, so i don't have any comparable things to tell anyway.

Thx for a good job.

Hi

Why is it when I tested file transfer on LAN over Windows Share I can reach high bandwidth when I tested using iperf I can never get similar throughput?
Same with Linux Samba Transfers.
Turn off the firewall still the same.

I too upgraded to RC6 and had problems with wireless stability.  Connections would drop frequently or slow down to a crawl.  Reverted back to RC5 and everything is stable again.

The question I am having has been there for a long time. No issue running wifi on trunk instead performance went up slightly.
From ~50% of 300Mbps data rates to ~55% of 300Mbps data rates.
I always thought it was SAMBA but iperf reports the same data rate instead of the insane Windows Share Speed I encountered.

Something weird when i set country code to US, wifi become unstable also wifi didn't works at low channel.

The best netperf shows only at 10,8 mbits

Hi everyone, I'm planning to flash my 1043nd but I'm little confused about versions. I saw latest release was 10.03.1 and on the tl-wr1043nd page for version 1.8 supported release was 10.03.1 rc6. Which openwrt release should I use? Thank you.

10.03.1

Thanks for the fast response.

I seem to be having a problem with br-lan going down every half hour or so, might be similar to the problems Vilmalith describes, forum post here: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=33851
I might try flashing rc5, does anyone have any ideas?

Hi all,

Since I upgraded from RC5 to Final release of 10.03.1, my WLAN has become really, really slow.

I went back to factory and then flashed backed to OpenWRT using the factory OPenWRT image to, but it didn't help.
Using WPA with AES.

and what if you flash RC5 again??

Same here RC5 is far more stable than the final 10.03.1. I also had (different) wifi issues with 10.03.1 on a Netgear WNDR3700.

I'll stick to the RC5 for the time being.

Well, I could, but I'd rather not. I changed the network type from both N and G to G only, and now the WLAN is back to stable and fast. But I would very much like my N-support.

Is it correct that ath9k is the only module with N-support? Why then is mac80211 set as type in my wireless conf, and when I change it to ath9k the WLAN wont come up ans log says that there is no supported device connected?

So ath9k is used in mac80211? But is this an actual bug in the atheros module then?
