Firmware Tl-wr840n

[Dawnell Sechler]

And I already know how to install firmware on TP link routers. I had a router from a provider with firmware that only supported the Internet from this provider, and after moving I had to install universal firmware from the official website so that the router would work with a new ISP.

Don't try to appear smarter than you really are. All Google instructions do not indicate how to create a server ON A SPECIFIC IP, there is generally no emphasis on IP. They offer to choose the one that is given. That's why I'm asking HOW TO MANUALLY SET IP? If it were not necessary to install the firmware according to your instructions, then I would not have asked.

What interface are you talking about? I have never chosen my own IP. An external IP is given to me by my network provider, and I can register an internal IP with a router. But what about interfaces? If you do not understand this issue, then it is better not to write anything at all. I'll wait for really knowledgeable people.

How interesting. I disconnected the router from the Internet, disconnected the Wi-Fi in the router. I changed the router address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 after which I was able to change my internal IP to 192.168.0.68
And after that I kind of managed to flash the router

Hello all, this is a quite old thread, but I agree with @hijani that whenever you download and or upgrade the firmware on a TP-Link device, do remember to verify its country code and hardware version before upgrading, ensure you choose the correct firmware to install on your device.

Back to the initial question that some of you failed to upgrade the firmware on the TL-WR840N v4.0, I guess this is special and customized hardware that was developed for the local Service Providers, so you cannot install the generic firmware on it.

After trying to install my router to the newest version so that the language can change from Chinese to English, it like crashed and the LAN cable lights are always on even when nothing is plugged in except the power cable. I have tried to reset it using the reset button by pressing for some seconds but nothing is happening.

Download a tftp server program for the O.S you are using. Example, "pumpkin tftp" or "tftpd". Put your downloaded & extracted image in a folder of a known location like "c:\tftp" for Windows or in the home folder on Linux. Open the program, link the program to the chosen folder where the extracted image is. Make sure the tftp program is set to automatically allow download requests. You may need to make an exception for the tftp program in your firewall, or disable it while you do the firmware upgrade.

Make sure the tftp program is running, unplug the router for 15-30 seconds. Hold down the reset button while powering the router back up. (Holding for 3-8. Seconds on power up, the router will now try to reach out to 192.168.0.66 for the firmware image.)

I accidently bought a TP-Link TL-WR840n V1 (BCM5357) for OpenWRT purposes, but it seeams that this particular version is not supported directly by OpenWRT. Is there a any change get this working? Web UI won't accept OpenWRT firmware images. I was able to hook up a serial connection. According to the boot log, the router should have 4MB flash and 32MB ram, please see bellow. Boot sequence ends up on login prompt, asking for username and password. Standard TP-Link passwords don't work. I'll post some images later on.

TP-LINK firmware for this device contains almost whole flash content, including bootloader! It means every time you upgrade firmware you also rewrite the bootloader. It means that:
1) It's dangerous in case upgrade fails
2) You'll brick the device if you provide a wrong bootloader
3) You have to *have* bootloader copy to be able to build the firmware image

A also have this model. I've flashed dd-wrt firmware, and now I can't restore the original firmware. I can't acces CFE web server, and tftp also doesn't work. I opened the device and hooked a serial connection. In Putty I see the folowing:

To burn the OpenWrt firmware in to the TL-WR840n v4, you will need to setup a TFTP server in a local machine.There are several different TFTP server options to download and run, all you need to do is find the one that better suits you. The TFTP server, after installed, need to be configured to work on IP 192.168.0.66 (port 69). Insert the firmware file inside the TFTP server folder and follow the instructions below:

After Installing any OpenWrt firmware, you can upgrade to a new OpenWrt image using the *sysupgrade.bin file available above. The proccess can be made via TFTP exactly as the Installation method or it can be done via SSH, following the instructions:
