I am on TP-LINK TL-WR841N v11

After the patched firmware provided by NeDark and mh3g I was able to install a DD-WRT firmare downloaded by OTHER DOWNLOADS section

I installed the firmware named:
factory-to-ddwrt.bin
founded inside the section V11 here:
http://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2017/04-06-2017-r31825/tplink_tl-wr841ndv11/factory-to-ddwrt.bin

ON control Panel of firmware I see:
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r31825 std (04/06/17)

Now I habe a doubt

I need or not to install the other firmware named:
tl-wr841nd-webflash.bin
founded inside the same section V11 here:
http://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2017/04-06-2017-r31825/tplink_tl-wr841ndv11/tl-wr841nd-webflash.bin

EDIT
I received feedback from another 3D
Pratically the two firmware are the same
The first one has to be used when the initial firmware is the factory
In other cases is possible to use the second one only

I have followed the advice in the first post to the letter in trying to put DD WRT on my newly purchased WR841N v11 but I cannot get past the part where it says " Now reboot the router buy holding down the reset button at the back, dont release keep holding and watching the TFTP server log and the moment you see the file request you can release the reset button.

Now wait patiently for the router to flash and reboot (normally around 2 ish minutes). After this reset your ip address to "192.168.1.66" so your in the right network range (or set to auto dhcp) and now you should be able to ping 192.168.1.1 Assuming you can, all is good you are now free from the stock firmware and dd-wrt is rocking strong."

Nothing changes when I hold down the reset button. No File is requested in the TFTP window I have open. Does the wr841nv11_tp_recovery.bin file have to be in certain place? I have the file in the same folder as the tftp but have also had it elsewhere and it is not being found. I am doing something completely wrong? I have checked and rechecked the tftp settings from the link given and it all matches as it should. As I am a total novice at this, any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Instead of going TFTP method, I suggest to use the modified firmware attached previously and downgrade the firmware and than flash DDWRT.

I just purchased WR841N v11 EU and used the attachment posted earlier and it all went well. Thanks to the awesome guys here.
