Thanks Worked perfect for me!
For those who wants to become directly to OpenWRT from stock firmware, here information technology is:
http://rthost.cf/tmp/openwrt-ar71xx-gen … actory.bin
I flashed your sysupgrade image and it works only at present I want to flash over again and with
the sysupgrade epitome, the manufactory image and even the "stripped" tp-link version
I get always:
"The uploaded image file does not comprise a supported format. Make sure that y'all choose the generic image format for your platform."
What to do ???

I'm interesting to test DD-WRT firmware.
I tested information technology , information technology has the aforementioned antenna problem , along with a strange problem . Initially on DHCP mode the WAN port works but when I put that to static IP config. then the WAN port stops working, I had to map it to the LAN ports to make the router work .

What version you install dd wrt whether to version ix
Guys I tried the Version above from Stock firmware and I can report that it works, tested most of the features and they work. The Range according to me has increased by a decent margin.
Cheers!
Thank you for that. I tried to utilize the patches but they do not work on current trunk. The folder target/linux/ar71xx/patches-iii.18 does non even exist. I have only patches-4.1. And the files which are supposed to be patched tin be found at that place under slightly different names but parts of these patches seem to have been applies already.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers for the piece of work of porting openwrt to this device.
But I have several problems.
I can't use l2tp to tunnel into the internet. (l2tp over wan to my vpn-provider)
Information technology says: xl2tpd non installed. When I try to install it, the router gives me errors.
****** start ******
Collected errors:
* xsystem: wget: vfork: Out of memory.
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … r71xx.ipk, wget returned -one.
* opkg_install_pkg: Failed to download xinetd. Perhaps you demand to run 'opkg update'?
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package xinetd.
****** end ******
The performance of the wlan is poorer, than the original software.
When I hear streaming music from the cyberspace, the music gets interrupted as soon every bit I try to install the l2tp package.
And I didn't succeed to wink dorsum to the original software. Just I'll give some other try now, because I bought the router to get tunneling for my internet connection!
My questions are:
What must I do to make the wlan stronger?
Why can't I install l2tp?
Cheers in advance for your answers!
P.Southward.
As well on the 2nd attempt I was unable to revert back to stock software!

Yesterday I managed to switch back to stock firmware.
Only information technology was a real hurting!
I am now god expert enough to go a tftp-server running on my Ubuntu 14.04, and then I had to detect another way.
I decided to upload the image to my could and wget it through a share-link to the router. Didn't work!
And so I took the image and uploadet it to an ftp-server on my tablet, after the pc denied to admission the same type of ftp-server on my telephone. I was to able to download the image from the tablet to /tmp on the router. And so I used sysupgrade.
At present stock runs once again!
The wifi was VERY unstable with openwrt. Not but the range, just also information technology was a big problem to become the paradigm with wget transferred to the router. The tranferred stalled after about 90-95%. I tried it several times. Then I issued the -c pick an still needed a view attempts to go the image transferred.
In the by I never had this kind of problems with my wifi.
I think this openwrt still need some work to be done, to run stable. To me it seems like the difference between V9 an V10 is more than expected.
Just all the same I thank you revosftw for your work!
Guys i tried development tree openwrt download
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … actory.bin
as i found above mentioned patch already applied.
Tested few things. but when i endeavor to install luci information technology says no space 
any ideas to solve this issue??
and i try to build my own with ArchLinux i ended up in mistake

Postal service #14 has a prototype with LuCi
OK, this is confirms my decision not to apply openwrt.
But why did openwrt tell me on the page where I can choose the packages to install, that 224K space are bachelor and then it does not allow me to install a 77K package?
And so at that place was that problem with the wifi ,wich was not stable on my router.
You can run contempo OpenWrt versions on a 4 MiB device. You will, however, have to include LuCI in the image before flashing it and body builds never include LuCI.
You tin use the Image generator to do that without needing to compile your own build.
That's what you get for bleeding border distros 
.

...on a device with only 4MB flash.
There's a reason, why this table exists: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_available_864
You *can* do it with 4MB, but obviously, that involves more efforts than the common user is willing to spend.

Hey thanks for suggestion. will endeavour out image generator
That's what you become for bleeding border distros
I like arch for speed, it always comes with building issue. okey i boot up debian minimal in VM and check it
I am just hobbyist who endeavor new things, i thought of play with openwrt with limited spending my mood spoiled 
any suggestion for buying less price router to try all things???
A TL-WR1043ND v2 (or maybe v3) had 8 MiB flash and 64 MiB RAM. That should give you some headroom for a few years.

And this is the problem with me. ;-)
But I found the wifi beeing VERY unstable!
Non the range. The range was a piddling scrap shorter, than with stock firmware. But transmissions were not stable.
Has anyone experienced that, too?
I wanted openwrt mainly, because I need more than targets for the firewall. Stock allows merely sixteen targets. I need near twenty to block google an facebook based on their ip-ranges.
If the wifi would exist stable, I might requite a second chance.
I was not able to hear radiostream over wifi and as I said before, it was a pain to get the stock-paradigm on the router to sysupgrade it.
Lan worked perfect.
Practiced morn open-source-heros (-:
(i actually mean that, in times where my castrated ISP router has more influence to my network so myself, people working on alternatives without charging money for it are just heros! same goes for GNU/Linux in genral + this is the proof that development and engenieering spirit is not bound to the laws of neoliberal marketplace economy)
1. openWRT on 4mb device and the (more than) efforts
besides the unproblematic fact, that "more than efforts" means more risk to larn things and isn't something negativ in this context, permit me bring dorsum to our mind that the pretty super easy and effortless way of installing the provided v9 from revosftw of anarchy calmer plus the sysupgrade from roytam1 worked perfect for me with LuCi!
Btw: Thank you revosftw and roytam1 for your work.
And that is just point and click. I take to admit though that i'm not certain if all the functions are working, but the install itself with LuCi worked fine.
Also the "downgrade" to the original (stripped) TPLink firmware per SSH worked flawlessly in my case, more than twice (-:
(i used the "mtd -r write tplink.bin" firmware style)
Btw: the failsafe mode of TL-WR841N V10 works beautifull as well :-)

That really would be a dealbreaker for me likewise, but i'yard going to test that. If anyone else may provide additional expieriences regarding the wifi stability, would be slap-up :-)

Hi Borromini. Cheers for pointing in that direction. My download of a 64bit debian derivate has just finished, so i'm about to jump into that side by side little risk :-) In our case i presume that the syntax would be something similar :
EDIT ii:
make image Profile=TLWR841 PACKAGES="luci-base" (edit2: i falsely used the wiki linked imagebuilder file, instead of the trunk snapshot one, which works with v10 i guess - i'll report if im done with that new examination) Thats the filenames: openwrt-15.05-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841nd-v9-squashfs-factory.bin 3.8mb openwrt-15.05-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841n-v9-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin three.1mb So it's all most the selection of the pakets here i recollect, only interestingly did the didn't the "total"LuCi fit on the v9 from the outset of this thread besides? That may in addition be interresting to me because i could add ebtables then, which i don't know if i need them for my "hardware-firewall", just maybe woth a attempt (-:

maaan, the Bruce Lee Os on my router, would be fantastic, approximate i wouldn't need a GUI then at all :-)
so, have fun everybody and see you later.

I'thou going to upload the bins, maybe someone finds this helpful. I'll wait for a mode to not zip them and add the compile output of the console as a textfile amidst a readme, and look for a uploader which is non related to myself, so that i can't track who downloaded the files. In a higher place that, i guess i can't practise annihilation more than and so conspicuously state that i did not change whatsoever of the sourcefiles to compromise someones data integrity!

I have compiled a existent 15.05 with the ar71xx patches from the gluon firmware project. So you lot can still install software and stuff after a while, which is a big problem with trunk.

Yous may need to shorten the filename to get the tp-link software to accept the file.
I also accept not modified the source lawmaking except for the required patches.
However, there are of form no guarantees for anything.
//Update: Unfortunately, the kernel version is dissimilar from normal 15.05. So all packages that require a certain kernel version won't piece of work. I will await into this as soon as possible.

What practice mean with "later a while"?
Will I be able to run xl2tpd on this firmware?
I might give it a try.
Thank you for the work!
@jamest42:
Dandy, ty for your efforts on this!
Does that mean after the install of the compiled version would exist space left on the device ? And how much?
1 more question, how far would an attempt like yours, to compile a version from sources and applying the patches, be away from a "official" openWRT version ?
