Hi, working on WR740Nv6(BR) Brazilian version, unless the bridge function. I made all configurations but I did not get the internet. I have a Dir300 with DD-WRT build 13064 working in bridge mode. The AP is a Belkin, hardware F7D4302 v1000. I have doubts if my wr740n is working well. Somebody has a suggestion ? Thanks for attention.

It's no news that there is an international V6 of TP-LINK's popular TL-WR740N. Since I have one handy I devoted some time to play with it and now here you are with pictures and information.
At first, this device seems quite similar to TL-WR841Nv10 and TL-WR841Nv11. So it wasn't a surprise I could allow it to boot DD-WRT's 841Nv11 build with updated firmware header.
Pictures of the board are below as attachments. As a reply there I will attach a working build.
Important note for flashing. The web upgrade does not work if you currently run the EU version of firmware:
wr740nv6_eu_3_16_9_up_boot(160325).bin <-- this does NOT work. Trying to load my DD-WRT build from it shows some 18005 error for incorrect version.
If that's the case with you then you have to first downgrade to:
wr740nv6_wr741ndv6_en_3_16_9_up_boot(150616).bin
For downgrade you may need to use wr740nv6_tp_recovery.bin TFTP method because I doubt it is downgradeable from 3.16.9.
After you downgrade to it you can upgrade from web interface to my build and see if it works.
Excuse my bad English. I'm using an Openwrt trunk/snapshot for my TL-WR740N v6. It didn't come with web interface. Now I want to install your DDWRT. Which one I need and how to install from openwrt. Please help me. Thanks a lot!!

Hi, did you manage to get chilispot to work? I am also facing a similar issue.
I could not get Chilispot to work as well. And I can't seem to get the router to authenticate my users via Radius MAC auth. See image for my configuration.
I have FreeRadius server and I checked my system log and it doesn't show any authentication attempt. In fact, my users can just get connected without auth.
oh btw, my ChilliSpot is working now. I just need to go disable DHCP on Setup page, then click Save. Then set up Chilli on Services page and Save and Apply Settings.
after upgrading using factory-to-ddwrt above made in checho,
it works,but I can't ping WAN interface (no reply/no arp), Unfortunately still have access through LAN interface.
ok, i upgrade again using 841nv11 release 30432 webflashUS.
Now, i can ping WAN interface.
But, I can't enable chillispot. I look at inside , there is no module tun loaded.
I have a model BR/6.0 and i just installed the factory to ddwrt from OP, it has some led issues, after that i upgraded to 841ndv 1130432, and then i upgraded to lastest wr841ndv11 webflashUS and now all is working well
