OK. Still can't find out if it's a US or non-US version. Where was the router bought ? Is the power adapter connector US or EU version ? _________________ THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE; ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T YET MET.

OK, did you manage to flash the first build or does it only get stuck when you try dd-wrt. Please give more detailed information, now I'm not sure what firmware you have on it.
I'll modify a build so you can flash dd-wrt on it, but first please confirm that you have this firmware now on it:
Firmware Version: 3.14.3 Build 151014 Rel.49676n
Hardware Version: Archer C7 v2 00000000
I know how to mod the build so it flashes on your current US firmware, but I have to recompile the tool that I use first and can only do it tomorrow morning.
Edit: There's another solution. Do you know how to TFTP a build ? _________________ THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE; ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T YET MET.

I could not flash either firmware.
I have tried the TFTP method using the Windows GUI TFTP Utility (tftp2.exe)
I ran it, set the server to 192.168.0.1, no password, chose the firmware (ddwrt) and after 99 retries I had no luck.
The cause is this stupid Wiki entry that someone created http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/TP_Link_Archer_C7 which links to the firmware of the US version of Archer C7 v2 (Edit: the link has been fixed since I wrote this). If you flash that over the Worldwide/EU version, it will transform the header into the US version, which won't allow flashing of any 3rd party firmware.
The official DD-WRT builds for C7 v2 will only flash over the Worldwide/EU firmware and will NOT on the US firmware (error 18005). _________________ THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE; ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T YET MET.
