I flashed TE7WR941NXV5 with the firmware posted on one of the first pages and got a brick. It updated successfully but lights don't work now and I can't connect to the router with a cable and I tried using two PCs and 5 different IPs.
How to Upgrade:
Click System Tools ->Firmware Upgrade, click the Browse button to choose
the firmware you already extracted in the folder.
Click the Upgrade button. The device will reboot automatically after the
upgrading has been finished. Please wait about 3 minutes.
Note: remember rename openwrt-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr941nd-v5-squashfs-factory.bin => abc.bin or any other name
It is working without problems and even all the leds of ethernet connections are working well.
Using as a repeater very good!
Thanks!
I have used the TP-Link TL-WR940N V2.1 and upgraded to firmware openwrt for TL-WR941nd-v5 successfully.
Firmware: openwrt-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr941nd-v5-squashfs-factory.bin
I want to confirm that this OpenWRT process worked for my TL-WR940N V2.1 as well!! Nice job!!! 100% safe.
Thanks for the pictures as well. That convinced me to try again to switch the firmware, as I've already tried DD-WRT a year ago, and bricked my router, but later recovered it after *extensive* work.
I have several routers with DD-WRT, but this TP-LINK model and version is not supported.
I've just modified the header of the DD-WRT 27506 factory-to-ddwrt build intended for TL-WR841NDv8, so it will flash on the
"new" version of TL-WR941NDv5 / WR940Nv2 (TE7WR941NXV5, CPU Atheros AR9341 @535 MHz) running stock TP-Link firmware.
If the attached build works for you, it can be further updated with any newer-than-27506 webflash build for TL-WR841NDv8.
Disclaimer: I haven't tested the attached build myself, so I'm not responsible in any way if you brick your router.
Please only flash this build if you know how to unbrick it.

I'm trying to flash my tl-wr940n with the file krypteX posted but it comes up with error 18001 upgrade unsuccessful because the length of the upgraded file is incorrect please check the filename
My FCC-id is te7wr941nxv5
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Can I install DD-WRT on a TL-WR940N V2.1 / TL-WR941N V5 that has Open-WRT installed?
-----------------------
Yes xextremex I do it, no problem works fine with factory-to-ddwrt_27506_WR941NDv5.bin!!

I have the same issue, the firmware and the hardware versions are the following:

Hy guys, after applying Kryptex 841NDv8 firmaware ( DD-WRT v3.0-r27506 (07/09/15) std) I can no longer connect my Mac with my windows.
They used to see each other thru Samba since they were in the same network and same homegroup. Now, neither one of them can connect to the other.
I read in some other model firmware that the same problem occured and the solution was to downgrade the dd-wrt firmware of that model.
I wonder if there´s an upgrade or downgrade to this firmware I could try to solve this problem. Or if one of you guys could address what configuration on dd-wrt should get this Samba share enable.
For a last resource, I would try to flash it back to factory firmware. Would that be possible? How?
