I also have a "Archer C9 V3" that i have just acquired
New in box at a greatly reduced price.
Certainly has alot more BHP than my old WR1043ND.
Ive always used DD-WRT, so was a little gutted when i found out the C9 V3 is not officially supported yet.
So would be very grateful if it could be added.
I will gladly add another donation, as it has been a few yrs since my last one.
Interestingly, with reference to the V3.
It has a auto update feature in the factory firmware, so it updated when i first set it up, and it notes the following on the new firmware.
Here's an image of the inside of my Archer C9 V3.0 EU, if that helps. Since this unit isn't very useful for me on the stock firmware I'm willing to experiment.
Edit: I got the console working. Here's the boot log:

The console let me in by just pressing enter. Seems to be running openwrt 12.09-rc1
I was hoping to be able to change to config to more suit my needs until a dd-wrt build is available, but it seems the flash is completely reset each boot. /etc/config is regenerated from nvram each boot, and presumably stored from the files at shutdown. But beyond that everything is reset.
Maybe that's standard, I'm not to experienced with this stuff.

Is there any update on v3 support? I seem to have a habit of buying routers that aren't supported by DD-WRT.
I also have bought the V3 model. Intended using it with sky fibre as an access point to the sky sr102 with ipvanish installed on it.
First problem I encounted was that it is not compatable with sky fibre. So looked into flashing with DD-WRT but cannot find an 'idiots guide' on how to do it....I am the idiot by the way
Any help would be appreciated.

Is the list correct?
conect pc then USB driver,putty with sirial,then holding ctrl+c until CFE comes up.
then Dd-wrt send for c9,but tftp is not available.if 192.168.0.66 or192.168.1.66 get fw,v3 refuse another version fw.
How to send it for /tmp/ please teach command.
Please tell me the command or way to connect with sirial and send fw to / tmp /

I fought for a few hours with my newly purchased Archer C9 V3, and finally got the latest ddwrt Archer C9 V2 r30880 firmware flashed into it. My new router is now up and running, ha ha!
What I did was through the indirect system upgrade method from this openwrt wiki -
I used the mtd command instead of sysupgrade(which was disabled by tplink) and changed the partition name at the end of the command line from "firmware" to "linux", which is the actual mtd partition name of my Archer C9 V3.
The only unpleasant thing was that I connect to the serial console by opening the router case and connect a USB/TTL adapter followed this instruction
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/archer-c9#serial. I might be able to flash the firmware through SSH or telnet instead but I only thought of it after my ddwrt was up and running. Now I can't confirm whether these services exist on factory firmware, but I won't bother to know at least for now.
Try at your own risk. Maybe this work solidly for you or maybe I'm just in luck...
Good luck!

The port 3333 an IP address 192.168.1.111 are just examples.
The command 'pv -b' is optional for tracking progress but maybe you have to install pv to your system previously.

Wow amazing thanks, do I need to be on a low version of the firmware before flashing this? I updated to 1.2.0 but do I need to downgrade to 1.0.0 first?

as far as i know you dont need to downgrade. it should work with any known version so far. i did not test it since i dont have the device by myself but the v3 and v4 is identical to v2 and v1 but just has a different firmware format. 2 people already reported to me that its working _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

I've just tried it and I get the message "unable to upgrade"
Also tried to downgrade from the firmware I am on (1.3.0 Build 20161018) to the original 1.0.0 160129 and got the same error
Anyone know if there is a way to bypass the downgrade?
