But, how to implement this GPIO information?
Imre
I want to do some research on the disabled channel 14, wich is not legal here in Europe, but using a dummyload, right?
I ran into the same issue's
1. Changed the 7210 firmware with 3020FW (With ease)
2. Discovered the antenna switch problem.
3. Purchased a 'super channel' licence (It won't work)
So! The best way was to revert to the original firmware, as mentioned above the version information prohebits that.
1. Did webrevert 3020, that worked! When choosing 'Japan' it showed the wanted channel 14. Hence, it will NOT BROADCAST on that channel.
2. So, still wanted to revert to the original firmware.

Yes!!finally i can revert to stock Laughing
Web revert with mr3020nv1_webrevert.bin
Trim the first 0x20200 bytes of wa7210nv2_en_3_16_5_up_boot(130320)
Edit 0x40 0x43 0x44 0x47 to 30200001 & 00000001 with the software of reply 7

Gpio 28 enables low noise amplifier. High power amplifier is always enabled, but cant change from external antenna to horizontal or vertical. Not with gpios.
You could resolder antenna
With resoldered antenna works awesome! but you loose external antenna, and cant select antenna, unless you use original tplink firmware, or you just could attach an external antenna.I prefer resoldering than using original firmware.The hardware is good, but the router firmware is the worser that i´ve ever used.

My problem is that the connection of my tl-wa7210n is not stable (tried both in ap, which ap router, which range-extender) so I'm trying to change the firmware to see if things improve. I've also tried to update the stock firmware but nothing has changed.
I have read the whole thread because I'm interested in trying the dd-wrt firmware.
Unfortunately I have not figured out how and what firmware to install?
Can you explain step by step how to install this open firmware, and maybe attach the file to download?

You did not read it all.
If you install it, there is no antenna, you have to resolder one, file is in post 4 page 1, you need to be logged to see it. _________________ TP-Link: TL-WR741ND V4

Hi guys. I have upgraded my 7210n with the firmware you supplied just for the fun of - it it was useless for my because of the instability and i had to replaced it.
Now I came upon a problem it broadcasts but it has a very poor reception even with the external antenna is there a way to do something? I just want to experiment on it no problem at all if I have to solder something or even if I brick it.
