I have a tp-link (AC1750) ARCHER C7 (EU) with the stock firmware and I never changed it because I was scared.
When I just bought it and thought to install the ddwrt I read here in the forum that the manufacture of my archer EU and the firmware of my equipment gave problems and finally it bricked it... that's why I left it with the stock firmware.
There's plenty of posts in this forum about this and why you must flash that specific stock firmware version. You have been here since 2007 and you're asking for help on something rather basic, so it just seems you need to read this thread. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I just remembered why I could not install the ddwrt and it is this, when I tried to install the firmware that they said in the wiki I could not because I got this
This is why I could never install it and even though I searched the forum I could not find any reference to this problem
This is why the wiki references a specific stock firmware version to flash the v2.
Happy flashing, I'm done.
WOOW THANKS bro finally the stock firmware is out!!! It went right! Well... I have openwrt and it was sooo much haard to install it that i had no problems with keeping it like that
...but I saw that connecting the printer is more difficult than sleep on a bicycle or pee coughing
And that's why I still want to change to ddwrt so that will be another job that I hope is simpler than the 1st...
in the thread they get to install the openwrt but nobody says they have installed the ddwrt and I don't know if it is done by via tftp or just installing the ddwrt firmware like any other, and I don't know if I should use the factory-ddwrt or the sysupgrade... good as it may.
thanks you, at least it came out of stock that I was more than 1 year without being able to change

I don't know how you managed to not flash it to dd-wrt, given the information. There was even specific files in one thread to use to bring the stock firmware back to the correct status so DD-WRT would flash. You immediately zeroed in on a link to the OpenWRT tftp flash how-to and didn't look back, apparently. Please re-read this thread, because you are not grasping anything that is given to you. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

finally I could do it!!
English is not my mother lenguage and because of that I was misunderstood some things, so i had to make me with google translator and voala!! NOW I have ddwrt in my archer c7
I cofigure it immediately as a wireless client to have a 2rd internet input for my R9000 as backup wan, but... Now I am having problems because when I wired from my laptop to the archer I get high up and down speed and when I connect by wifi 2/5ghz the speed drops to the floor...
but that's another thread's issue
Thanks!! now this thread ca be closed because its solved _________________ Fiber Modem/Router: ZTE-ZXHN F670L ►►►►►► Internet 1
