Greetings,

Purchased a new tl-wr841n v13 in Canada and was sad that dd-wrt does not currently support this model. By accounts at OpenWrt the mentioned device is based on Mediatek hardware, so I come to this forum willing to help have support for this device. Will gladly donate a new ver13 device towards this, the hope one day it may be dd-wrt friendly. Accepting the general disclaimer and understanding of no expectations to have return of device. Just hope for support.

Oddly enough the US and canadian ver13 do not use the same firmware as I tried to upload the latest US firmware but it fails to load.

I've been using linux since .98 release days -- early 90's so I kinda know how open source works and have learned to love it.

Thanks for reading and I'll look around for where to send the device, but want to be sure such a beast would be welcome/necessary.

Thanks

I'm willing to try to do this, as I need the build too. But problem is I've never done this before although I'm a techie with programming background and minor in Linux.

Are there any guides online that i can follow?

It seems the latest versions of tl-wr841n are now based on a MT7628N (Ralink/Mediatek) instead of an Atheros SOC.

According to
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WR841N_v13.x
it has the following hardware:
CPU: MediaTek MT7628NN (575 MHz)
FLASH: 8 MiB (GigaDevice GD25Q64CSIG)
RAM: 64 MiB (ESMT M14D5121632A-2.5B)

I've not seen any MT7628 devices supported on DD-WRT. Openwrt has support for it so it should be possible. There are plenty of other devices using this SOC.

Searching wikidev.com for MT7628 there are about 30 devices based on this SOC.

ASUS RP-N12
ASUS RT-N11P B1
ASUS RT-N12+ B1
ASUS RT-N12E C1
ASUS RT-N300 B1
B-LINK BL-WR4000
Edgeless EL001
GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2
JLZT-LINK ZT-RX21W-C3
Linksys RE3000W v2

TP-LINK TL-WR841N v13.x
TP-LINK TL-WR841N v14.x

TP-LINK TL-WR849N(BR) v4.0
TP-LINK TL-WR849N(BR) v6.0
Xiaomi MiWiFi 3C
Xiaomi MiWiFi Lite

I've got one of these devices (TL-WR841 v14) if there is anything I can do to test it. I suspect the developers would need to get their hands on one before it can be supported. I'm willing to ship the one I have if it helps. It's extremely cheap, so the freight would be at least twice the cost of the router.
