Hi, i've tried to flash by webgui on every browser, tried too with at least 10 different revisions (the newest to the "next day after actual"), seems like it flash, did the reset but restart with the same 39469 version.
Tried the 30/30/30 hard reset, but not work.
Tried reading a lot of FAQ and other topics, but nothing useful in this particular case.
Any ideas? I'm thinking of use via console, but afraid that could have any brick (never tried).

You don't 30/30/30 this router, you will brick it.
Flashing with Command Line is probably required to upgrade, depending on if the file size is not too big for flash. Not sure if webflash has been fixed on these in more recent builds off the top of my head. Worst case is TFTP recovery flashing.

Builds before r33375 used "DD-WRT" as string at the start of the firmware. Since that build they're all using "TP-LINK Technologies". So mtd partition code is looking for the wrong string to detect the bootloader size and upgrade via the web interface is not possible; this problem was fixed in r42928.

Well, my posting IS the solution for exactly this problem. I flashed my v1.8 device just yesterday according to this procedure (now r43334), because it ran on a revision before the problem was fixed:

Re-read the highlighted in red numbers. It is higher than 33375, which is the problem discussed in your linked thread, which I have read in it's entirety and locked, in case you missed that. So, the device is past the "problem" already, or should be. I see no immediate relevance to your input. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Well, the router may have been bought by itachi_br, updated to r39469 by the former owner in the cumbersome way, so that the "DD-WRT" string is still in the header. Ever thought about that?

I find that highly unlikely. Pretty sure since the OP has been registered on the forum for 3 years, the chances of your left-field, out-of-the-logical-box thinking is almost none. But if your suggestion works, then it works. I'll wait for the OP to report back, you should do the same before I break out the magic eraser. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

In a way, both are correct
I have this 1043nd v1.8 for long time ago, and at some time using DD-WRT it started to lock connection and lose wifi, needing a reboot to work again. I don't know what revision was since i give up and buy other router.
After some time, a friend asked me to try to fix, and updated the firmware for this version and seems like it worked (with the v39469).
So i was facing problems with wifi drops, and didn't know if was network provider and/or router, so i changed again and put it aside.
Right now i'm with an Archer c5 v4 that seems like to have wifi drop too. Tried everything with official firmware and warranty told me to send it back to view what's happening (seems like only occurs with both Galaxy S10 for mine and girlfriend, as both notebooks using same AC 5GHz works without drops).
Soooo i'm ressurrecting again my 1043nd to replace the Archer with warranty.
