DD-WRT noob here.
I have DD-WRT v3.0-r30681 std installed (and running) but I'm missing the "OpenVPN" tab in the "Services" section. I read that I need the VPN version? Where can I get that? Thanks!

You might be flashing a wrong version , I also faced the same and looking for a solution . My router came with V11(EU) , on tplink site I see a different firmware for the same , two download options one for V11 and one for v11 EU .

You either have the WR841Nv11-US version, for which you have to use the file factory-to-ddwrt-US.bin from the official FTP repo, e.g.: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2016/05-19-2016-r29739/tplink_tl-wr841ndv11/

or you have a locked factory firmware from TP-Link on your WR841Nv11 EU/UN version, such as TL-WR841N(EU)_V11_160325 from http://www.tp-link.com/en/download/TL-WR841N_V11.html#Firmware
In that case, you'll have to wait for an updated UNlocked firmware from TP-Link and then try DD-WRT again.

I bought a TL-WR841N device. I want to flash DD-WRT on it, but I don't understand how to do this.

First of all, I don't know if I got the EU or US version. On the bottom is stated:
Model:TL-WR841N(TPD) Ver:11.1

Furthermore, I got firmware version 3.16.9 build 150616 Rel.52099n.

Based on the firmware, I guess it is a non-EU version. Is that correct?

If so, can I just flash factory-to-ddwrt.bin and tl-wr841nd-webflash.bin from ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2016/05-19-2016-r29739/tplink_tl-wr841ndv11/?

Thanks for your help!

Hello everybody,

I'm new to this forum. I want to try out DD-WRT on my TP-Link TL-WR841N. Normally I use the button on the back of the router for toggle the wifi on and off very often.

Can someone tell me or this button is still working with DD-WRT on it?

Hey,

I have the exact same router type as you have. Were you able to find out which version (non-us, us) is the right one? Was your flashing successful?
Thanks in advance!

No, I did not flash my router yet. I'm still looking for the answers on the questions I posted here. So if you find out any answers, I really would like to know.

I looked the firmware up at the tp link site and it sayed that this was the us firmware and therefore the us router. So I just flashed the factory 2 dd-wrt over the tp-link web and afterwards updated dd-wrt with the second file. worked out fine for me!

I think I have the same firmware. DO you have taken the '-us' versions of the dd-wrt images? Or the ones without '-us'?

On this forum, I read that only the us version is unlocked. However, also dd-wrt version without 'us' are available in the v11 dd-wrt directory. What's the difference?

What build are most people running for this router to keep it somewhat stable? I've tried a couple (currently on 29739) and an going to try 30771. So far, I haven't seen the power or WiFi lights come on and on one of the builds the router stopped responding. Been a while since I've messed with DD-WRT (got a couple routers running 14929 from back in the day). Any help is appreciated, thanks.

*EDIT*
30771 seems to work pretty good. Power LED is back, WiFi blinks with activity. Time will tell. I'd still appreciate some feedback on build versions though. Thanks!

I've modified the header of the DD-WRT 28417 factory-to-ddwrt build intended for TL-WR841ND v10, so that it will flash on a TL-WR841ND v11 running stock TP-Link firmware.
If the attached build works for you, it can be further updated with any newer-than-28417 webflash build for TL-WR841ND v10.


Disclaimer: I haven't tested the attached build myself, so I'm not responsible in any way if you brick your router.
Please only flash this build if you know how to unbrick it.

Note: You must be logged in to be able to download the attachment.



Worked for me. I have a v11 ordered off amazon and received just a few days ago. Does anyone have a stable build of DD-WRT they're using? My router needs to be restarted once or twice a day, I'm using DD-WRT 28417.

The US version is for any router that was bought in the US (or bought online from a reseller in the US). The Non-US version is for everywhere else, except usually China (China based TP-Links can't usually be flashed to dd-wrt).
