OK, I found it. The firmware we want to flash must have specific name as I thought

I tried to use it as an access Point, disabling DHCP and conecting the DSL modem to the LAN ports, and it works wirelessly but the Lan ports seems not do be bridged. If i plug another pc with cable to any other port it wont act as a switch.
I tried bridging all interfaces but without any luck.

FYI, try with build prior to 20140418. Builds after that may have switch issue on Atheros chips according to my own experience.
Thanks for the amazing work. This was the first time i worked with dd-wrt. Flashed it on the given router and was really impressed about the features!
But please tell me anyone. Where can I find the VLAN Menue?
Setup -> Basic -> no vlan there?
Before I waste too much time in this. Can anyone tell me if its possible to create two vlans. VLAN 300 and a native vlan? Then I want to use Port1 or the WAN port as Trunk for both VLANs.
Result should be: That I've 2 SSIDs. One for the normal Lan and one for Guests.
e.g. wlan0 for the native vlan, and wlan1 for vlan300, which will be used for guest accounts.
I just configured my WR841N v9 as a repeater via Client (Bridge) mode.
Selected Wireless Mode as Client (Bridge), at SSID entered the SSID of the remote wireless network, at security entered the password of the remote network, then created a VAP with my chosen SSID.
DHCP comes from the remote wireless network, not from my router, and it works flawlessly.
So, let me repeat myself:
1. Set Wireless Mode to "Client (Bridge)".
2. At SSID enter the SSID of the remote wireless network.
3. Go to wireless Security and choose the right encryption (which the remote wireless network uses) and enter the password.
4. Apply the settings.
5. Create a VAP (Virtual Access Point) with a name different than the remote wireless networks name.
6. You can go to wireless Security and set a password for the VAP you've created.
So, all works fine. I don't know if it helps at all, but I set a different gateway than the remote wireless network uses. The remote wlan uses 192.168.1.1, so I set 192.168.2.1 for my router .
____________________________
VLAN menu is located at first tab (Setup), at "Networking".
This Menue is different as the normal VLAN Menue which I've seen in other Howtos/Tutorials. There I can add only Tags. But cannot assign an Interface to the specific VLAN. Or even create specific VLANS, like VLAN 300.

thank you this works. i just bought v9 and installed dd-wrt. wireless ap works but to my surprise, the switch doesn't work. i googled and came up this post with the script. i put it in my startup script and change it to eth0 instead of eth1. Now the switch works. Good job!
Just flashed my brand new tl-wr841n (not nd) v9 with factory-to-ddwrt.bin and that took just fine, but when I tried to upgrade to tl-wr841nd-webflash.bin it wouldn't take. I get an "Upgrade Failed" after I hit the 290s mark. I used the 06-23-2014-r24461 build. Any ideas on why this didn't work, and on how to get it working?
Was going to try and at least get the stripped factory firmware, per MazdagL's instructions, but can't seem to obtain the firmware from the link he posted.
At the moment I'm stuck with a tl-wr841n with factory-to-ddwrt on it -- help!

Doesnt work! i tried via GUI and via CLI.. and just dont work.

download my archive (second post of this page). There is stripped firmware and instructions how to flash it

I too can confirm this. Trying to flash an older version now.

In r24461 there is a bug and you can't downgrade firmware. If you want to flash something else find my archive and use recovery mode with stripped firmware which is tp-link official.
People, if you want to do as MazdagL just download the archive and follow the steps. It's the same procedure as MazdagL did and with the same firmware file.
I have a v9 and want to use DD-WRT but it seems that development is still in a very early stage, so I'll stick to the official firmware for the moment. Is there a place where I can track the development for this particular router to know when it's stable?
