For version 9.2 of this router, there is no mention of it in 'router database'. So I selected the one for Revision 8.x.

Then on the next page, I clicked on 'Other Downloads'.
On next page, I clicked on folder 2014 and NOT on 'moved_to_root_dir_betas'.
Next I selected directory - 12-22-2014-r25697
Now I saw - tplink_tl-wr841ndv9 and clicking on this led me to the files to download page.

Question -
Is the above process the right way to get the dd-wrt firmware?

Is it possible that the firmware that I was led to by the above process is a proper working firmware version. I ask because version 9.2 of router does not appear in 'router database'?

Thanks,

Forget about the Router Database. Old info.
Your router is listed here http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices
and the latest DD-WRT builds are located here: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2015/

[nkaufman]

thank you for the information.

since the download folder you suggested is beta, I was wondering how to find if the build is stable or if it needs patches. please let me know.

[KrypteX]

I think I've been replying to the same question like twice daily. DD-WRT is in beta stage, always has been. So don't get hung up on it, ok ? Just use it.

I can certainly understand the frustration of having to repeat oneself twice a day to newcomers.

My comment was based on the following statement:
"Download known to flash well builds from the Router-Database - some Firmwares are only available on other-downloads"

which is on the wiki url:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installation

So, I blame the wiki for this

Hi,

I have the same router and I have used the firmware for the ND version without problems. Currently I am using the 27378 where I have only one problem... the NTP client is not working therefore the hour on the router is wrong. Otherwise I had no problems.

Release r27396 works fine here.

[nkaufman]

Thank you everyone. Those comments definitely put me at ease about using beta firmware.

On a side note - Why are people then not using the latest version - r27435? or upgrading to latest version?

I've been looking at the installation link and going over Peacock thread and was wondering if there was a simpler installation instruction for routers that are being installed for dd-wrt for the first time.

Please let me know. Thanks

[quote="Jack82"]maybe it has some bugs... users experienced problems with r27413 wifi,site survey,disconnects..[/quote]

If so, then I wonder why our Guru - KrypteX - would recommend using the latest firmware. Perhaps he means that the latest version has removed all the kinks.

KrypteX - please comment if possible. also, just to be clear, am not questioning you or anything here. just trying to get more information about the latest versions and possible kinks.

I didn't recommend latest 27435 in this thread. If I did, please link me to it.
I still recommend 27396.[/quote]

Oh ok. You had not mentioned anything about 27396 in your earlier post in this thread and hence I was looking at the latest builds. But am glad everything is now clear and I will use build 27396 for my router.

Now if only one of the Gurus (or a follower ) could point me to the installation steps on a brand new router, that would be awesome.

Thanks for your help. I do appreciate that.

WR841ND v9 has DD-WRT support since 24118: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

First of all, flash factory-to-ddwrt.bin file of build 24118, from the current TP-Link Factory firmware: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2014/05-23-2014-r24118/tplink_tl-wr841ndv9/
Do it via cable, from Firefox.

Wait at last 3 minutes after that. Then, Restore to Factory Defaults, wait at least 3 minutes.

Then update from ddwrt 24118 to ddwrt 27396, use webflash file from ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2015/06-20-2015-r27396/tplink_tl-wr841ndv9/

Good luck and please report back to the 27396 thread here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=283778

KrypteX - Thank you. Will follow the instructions and post to that thread.

Was wondering if you have any experience setting up router for Fios. I have the following post open but no response yet. Have included some pictures in there as well.
