3. Open factory-to-ddwrt.bin in tp?????.exe and change two HEX-codes in firmware:
Code:
0x40-0x43: 08010002
0x44-0x47: 00000001
This needed for fix 18005 error while flashing DD-WRT in TP-LINK WegGUI.
If you get 18005 error anyway, flash last firmware upgrade (TL-WA801ND_V2_140425 at this moment), open it in tp?????.exe, find values for 0x40-0x43 and 0x44-0x47 and fill it in factory-to-ddwrt.bin.
4. Flash fixed factory-to-ddwrt.bin via tl-link web GUI.
5. Note, that after flashing DD-WRT you CANNOT access your device via LAN. Only via WLAN (Wi-Fi). You must fix this manually.
Connect to AP via Wi-Fi, set login and password, then DISABLE WAN and check "Assign WAN Port to Switch" option in Setup tab.
6. Save settings and reboot device.
Enjoy.
If you brave enough, you can try flash latest build for tplink_tl-wr841ndv8: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2014/ and tell us results.
Hello everybody! I am getting issues with wa801nd v.1.1. PPPoE doesn't work, the AP just wouldn't connect to ISP. I used the firmware version in the router database (pre-SP2) and the latest April version - all to no avail. Would be thankful for any help.
I've modified the header of the DD-WRT 29739 factory-to-ddwrt build intended for TL-WR841ND v11, so it will flash on a TL-WA801ND v3 running stock TP-Link firmware.
If the attached build works for you, it can be further updated with any newer-than-29739 webflash build for TL-WR841ND v11.
Disclaimer: I haven't tested the attached builds 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've just flashed a WA801NDv2 with your attached image based on the WA901ND V3. And the upgraded it from the ftp-site with the latest 18/11. Works flawlessly!
Up and running with in/out ~45Mbit/s.
Question though, can't seem to find the SNMPD. Should I be able to find it in this firmware?
Found this:
* Status/Bandwidth makes the AP unresponsive, rebooting/power cycle brings it back.
* Enabling https hung my device so I had to do a hardreset (config lost).
Wondering this:
* Antenna gain? Should it be 0 or 4dbi as mentioned in the specs?

According to the chip numbers it should work as tl-wr841nd v10. I flashed it with wr841nd v10's dd-wrt image (modifying the header) but it caught in an infinite loop.

is your wa801nd v3 a US version? where did you bought it? please provide the exact model written on the label found on the router bottom. which stock firmware did you flash back to (version and link please)?
