I believe the TL-WA901ND v4 is a Wireless Access Point, not a router. It is not supported, and third party firmware is unlikely to enhance its capabilities, so just use it for what it is..

Cheers!

It actually is unofficially supported. Here: https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=287584

This turns it into a 941NDv6, which already has an official build on the ftp site (see my signature for links). I would suggest upgrading after you get dd-wrt on the router.

I did the same thing KryptX did, just with a newer build.

I believe that Brainslayer fixed the ethernet issue a while back.

Official support may never happen.
I have just created a ticket on the SVN timeline: http://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/6141

But if the past is any indication, my other two TP-Link modified files still don't have official support:
http://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/6103
http://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/6104

Like I mentioned above, it should turn the router into a 941ND v6. Then you can use the webupgrade file for the 941ND v6.

Brainslayer is really slow at adding official support for routers he does not have physically. I believe it took almost a year for him to add support for the 941ND v6 and 940N v3, which are very similar to the 841ND v8.

I don't own this model. I never tested the files. Try the files above first.

First of all, please realize that the router you are planning to use for OpenVPN can only handle at max 20MiB/s download through the VPN, average is probably less than 10MiB/s. If you are OK with that, by all means proceed. Lack of RAM is the big reason, it only has 32MB of RAM.

As for flashing the file in the thread, you can try it but I have not tested it in any way, as I do not own this particular router. If you are wondering why I can estimate VPN speeds, CPU and RAM specs are a good indication of VPN speed.

As for flashing, try uploading it through the TP-Link GUI. If it works great if not, post something here.

I have no access to the router. I'm attached to a wi-fi network. I want to deploy this network with a range expander. I want to do this with open vpn. is it possible? ie there is no router access. just by repeating the wireless network.

See the new thread I created here: https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1122551#1122551

You will get more responses for a topic if it is posted in the correct sub-forum (you are using an Atheros based router).

Hello everyone. I have done an update with unofficial file on https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=287584 and everything working fine except WAN port which is for me crucial because I would like to use a device for a hotspot. Is there any way how I can turn WAN port to work?
