Was the pc you were using have a 192.168.1.x IP address when you tried to access it at 192.168.1.1?
no, there was no fixed ip because it was in automatic but when I tried to find the default gateway I couldn't go in cmd and typed ipconfig but the router's ip does not appear, I typed any ip to test but the gateway also does not appear

Try setting a static IP to your PC/laptop of 192.168.1.10, 255.255.255.0 netmask (prefix 24), gateway 192.168.1.1. Try pinging the router @ 192.168.1.1. If you get nothing, then you should sniff packets with wireshark to see if the router is broadcasting anything.
If there is nothing, then it may be time to open up the case and investigate to see if there are any headers, whether or not they are populated with pins. I can help, if you post pictures no larger than 800 pixels wide. I probably need to split the "Slim" discussion to Broadcom forum at some point.
I configured with the ip, mask and gateway you indicated I went in cmd ping 192.168.1.1 destination host unreachable and packets sent = 4, received = 1 and lost = 3, I decided to change the ip to 10.1.31.56 mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 10.1.31.1 and the following unreachable destination host appeared and packets sent = 4, received = 4 and lost = 0, I did not use wireshark because I am not aware of the program, I am sending attached photos of the router and also the ping that I performed

I see test points, I don't think those are for the serial console. May have to pull the board out of the case, if possible and check the underside to see if there is anything. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Hi.
Could be. As they claim ( BR ) is a clone of a 741nd. 741nd use these look like test-point TP as well for serial.
And as we can see over original tplink 2 TP, on user pic, much more TP are present.
So guessing, not an option, but a multimeter could be useful for the user.

The device in question is not Atheros, it's Broadcom. But that could be also true on this version of the device. But without seeing the bottom side of the board, I can't be certain. I don't have one of these in hand to check. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Not seeing anything that stands out. It will require a multimeter to figure out which test points would possibly be able to be used as a serial header. You would need to know which one is a direct link to the negative power supply / ground point. Then, you would need to find which one is the 3.3v point. RX and TX may be tricky to discern. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I can send a bigger picture if you think it is necessary to have more details, I don't have a multimeter and I also believe that it doesn't pay to buy for that purpose and I still don't understand much about it.

Thanks. If it weren't for possible logistics obstacles, my not being closer to you geographically, I would say send it here. I don't know what is available in your area, but you could probably find a good new or used TP-Link router that may suffice that doesn't cost you too much. I've split and moved the discussion for the slim version to the Broadcom forum so that maybe further discussion can happen. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

We are really distant geographically because I am in Brazil, thanks again for the tips and may God bless you, congratulations on the dd wrt project and much success

It will be if I can recover the original fimware by the program tftpd32, I do not know the program and I do not know if it is reliable, but there are people who recover the firmware through this program, but some people say that they can only do it with Realtek RTL8186 processor, what is yours opinion?
