Hi,

I tried to install latest OpenWRT on this model: TP-LINK WR841HP. Theoretically, the specs are all the same with TP-LINK WR841N and TP-LINK WR841ND except for the antenna is 9dBi instead of 5dBi. I failed to install. Is this hardware supported by OpenWRT?

TL-WR841ND = different Atheros SoCs, depending on HW version.
TL-WR841HP = Realtek RTL8196D -> we have not a single device with this SoC listed as supported by OpenWrt.
