Topic: How to flash TP-LINK WDR6500 V5

The content of this topic has been archived on 19 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I got TP-LINK WDR6500 V5 Chinese version but could not find OpenWrt firmware for that, can I use V2 trunk to flash my router?

At your own peril.

Or, post the device's particulars in a ToH entry for V5 after which others can evaluate compatibility.

Router already bricked by flashing V2 FW to V5 hardware
But I can still access recovery mode
I need to find original FW to flash it back to factory, but could not find firmware in the chinese site, any one can help?
