All, I apologize in advance if this is a repeat somewhere but I can't seem to find a solution. I find it hard to believe the only way to revert the firmware on this router is with a serial cable. Before I go down that road I wanted to know if anyone with a v8.4 Tplink-WR841N has successfully used the TFTP method.
I have tried to set the server to 192.168.0.66 and perform the reset but the router never connects to the TFTP server. I tried this on my V9.0 and it worked flawlessly. My guess is that the server ip that v8.4 is looking for is not the same. Has anyone had any success with this?

take the firmware from here, the brown colour one, and after that flash like you want to make an update from ddwrt web interface..the new original firmware will be on 192.168.0.1...user=admin...password=admin.....you know that..

You are writing a load of bollox.
The swrt files are not dd-wrt compatible, you can not update dd-wrt with them and you can not restore to factory firmware from dd-wrt with them. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
