The forum thread "Will TP-Link TL-WR941ND be supported?" contains lots of failure reports and debrick info, here is a link to the end of the thread with picture of the Intel chip.
this is a rev 3.2 not 3.0 flash!
ich have serveral 3.2 and all doing fine! so this problem is not related to this rev
The Intel S33 flash is most common in rev 3.2 but there has been 1 or 2 reports of it in 3.0
Not all 3.2 has the Intel flash..
Open all of your 941 v3.2 and verify if you have an Intel S33 flash in any of them, I bet you have not.
You can also read the whole thread I linked to and see how many users has reported not being able to store configs/not being able to upgrade firmware and then compare to which version they have and which flash chip they have found..
There is more than one thread about it, here are two in German:
It doesn't fix your router, you still have a firmware on the router that can not write the flash.
The only way to fix your router is with a serial (TTL level) console connection to the router and using the boot loader to load a new firmware (stock or next upcoming dd-wrt release which will have the flash write fix). _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

I'm also suffering from this problem. Do we have any target date for the new release?
Sorry for confusion
My router Tp-link WR941ND v3.2 (r15877)
Instead of using a serial (TTL level) console connection to router and using boot loader for new firmware, any luck that we can have a later release just applied it thru web interface.
The serial console connection is a bit difficult to me.

Ok, then leave it as it is. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
