You can flash this router via TFTP using one of the 2 files. This has only been tested once, not by me. You should be able to upgrade via the webupgrade file for the 841ND v11. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware?

Sorry, could I flash that .bin file directly via webflash (through firmware upgrade in the GUI)?
More than most likely the TP-Link firmware will give you an error code of 18005 if you try to flash my modified file, through the webGUI. If you flash it via TFTP, it should work though. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

I couldn't get the right timing to push the file. I've tried many times but seems nothing happened.
Or do I need to 30-30-30 reset before flashing via TFTP?

I flashed my router via TFTP, worked great! Thanks!
I merged the instructions from here and here to get it working. I ran the following steps:
1. Downloaded your firmware
2. Copied it to C:\TEMP and renamed the file to wr845nv1_tp_recovery.bin
3. Installed Tftpd32 with the tftpd64 installer
4. Connected a UTP-cable to a LAN port (not WAN)
5. Changed my laptop's LAN IP address to 192.168.0.66 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0
6. Ran Tftpd32, clicked "Browse" and browsed to C:\TEMP, selected the LAN interface with IP address 192.168.0.66, clicked "Show Dir", then clicked the wr845nv1_tp_recovery.bin file
7. On the router, powered off, pressed the Reset button, powered on, waited about 2 seconds, then clicked "Copy" on Tftpd32
8. Router flashed and rebooted itself, I browsed to http://192.168.1.1
9. Success!

How does the router identify itself on the Router Status page?
You should be able to upgrade to a newer build using that router's webupgrade file. See the link in my signature. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

i flushed the firmware and it worked great but there is a problem. sometimes i can't access any sites in my laptop. but after a restart it works fine again. i think it freezes time to time.

I'm running r38840 on my TL-WR845N v1 and it's rock solid. Consider trying it.
