I found a solution for using the TL-WR703n as a router.
Since it only got one WAN/LAN and the WLAN seem to be on the same bridge by default, I seperated the WLAN and the LAN: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Separate_LAN_and_WLAN
Make sure to add the 3 first lines in Step 3 to get internet.
have I understood it right, that I only need these bridges stuff when I want to have different subnets between wifi and lan?
I am trying to configure my TL-WR703N as a simple wireless access point. Not only for internet access but also to reach other lan devices (i.e. same subnet!)
In the best case, the lan IP address should be received by DHCP.
There is bug in bridge kernel module which is manifesting when you remove wireless interface from br0. This bug is preventing you to use eth as wan and wireless as LAN.

Error 18005 is not a bootloader error, it is an incompatible firmware error as the error message clearly tells.
You can try flashing this file via the update page in the gui, the file will either work or be rejected with the same error message that you got for the other files you tried.
Thanks also for pointing to this. But its not working for mine (3.17.1 Build 140120 Rel.56593n / WR703N v1 00000000). Been trying a lot of different files. The unit is brand new, not even setup.
