I am interested in knowing if it was possible to flash the firmware into this router, cause I just went to the supported devices list and it's still not listed.
Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2018 16:11 Post subject: Supported list
It will not be added to the supported list until Brainslayer releases a build for it. Not saying the modified build does or does not work. The supported list does not include modified builds, that's all.
this router for use with wi-fi network was the only one that caught in all the comodos of my house I found it great in this question but searching later on the internet there I found this documented problem, TL-WR941HP so I came to look for a firmware of dd-wrt but it does not have for this model how can we collaborate to have a firmware for this router?

Upgrade to dd-wrt via the GUI. Instead of using a factory (TP-Link) file, use one of the ones I provided earlier in this thread. https://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-688.html

Hi,
Via GUI the file was rejected. I tried via tftp:
I unziped the factory-to-ddwrt_33772_941HPv1, moved to /tftpboot as wr941hpv1_tp_recovery.bin (got the name from sniffing on eth), and watched on wireshark as the device booted with reset pressed. After wps light was on, I released the reset and could see the file being fetched by tftp. After a while the device rebooted and the original firmware is still there.

That means it did not actually flash the file. It was rejected for some reason. The only way to tell why the file was rejected is to hook up a serial cable (USB-UART, 3.3V) to the router. Don't actually hook up the VCC, you just need Ground, Tx and Rx. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

He reclaims that the image size is too small. Really, the original firmware have +- 6MB of size. I have tryied to tftp with OpenWRT, DD-WRT, Tomato, Gargoyle and all another but without success...

Too small is better than too big. Too big usually leads to an instant brick. Too small will either flash and work or not flash at all.
I still believe someone needs to hook up a USB-TTL cable to the router and see why it is refusing to flash it. It always provides some sort of error message via serial. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

That is a problem. I connect the cable and the error is that. He validates something on file size and I don't know how the flash process is stopped. Same validation is made on GUI.

Any progress on a solid build of DD-WRT for the TL-WR941HP? Nothing that's been published thus far works. Want to make sure that the firmware properly configures the onboard power amplifiers, which are the whole reason for this model's existence!

"I want support but nobody has sent a sacrificial device to the developers." This thread is over 2 years old. Somebody punch the keys on the till so it registers. You can't get proper support without donating the router.

I guess if people chime in, y'all can work something out to put together the money to buy one to donate, otherwise, it seems like interest has pretty much dropped. I don't think TP-Link sends devices to be ported of their own free will.
