Hi,
got got the 40863 version of the tl-wr941ndv6-webflash.bin to work on a TA-WL901NDv4.
I use this device in Client Bridge (routed) mode.
The ethernet port works and i use a VAP for the repeater function.
On the ethernet port i get my whole bandwidth 19 ms 50M/bit down 2.5Mbit up but wireless i just get ca. 11M/bit down. Rest is the same. Tested with different wireless clients and rebooted my pc.
I use 2.4ghz only N channel 6 20 mhz.
I tried all of this hints from the OP but i cannot see "Airtime Fairness" in the advanced options.
Any other hint?
I already tried the tl-wa901ndv4-webflash.bin r43904
but the gui is not responseable when i configured the Client Brdige stuff so i downgraded and reset the router a lot of times.
P.S. i can see in inssder, that the VAP is dropping the wifi signal 7 times in 10 minutes. So VAP (Repeating)isn't stable.

Client "Bridge" is known to have bottlenecks.
Is the main router the client is connecting a dd-wrt device with atheros chipset ?
-> Check possibility for a WDS setup
You may try Client Mode instead if a WDS setup is not possible.
TA-WL901NDv4 has same PCB as Wr941NDv6 or WR940Nv3 ?
same PCB as Wr941NDv6
I connect to a netgear r7800 with stockfirmware. Didn't had time for flashing to dd-wrt
I need the ethernetport and i thought that it only works in bridge mode. Or what is the difference?
I don't have any idea of WDS. The setup infos for client bridge i found here in the forum and it worked.
At the moment, all clients run fine with the smart option of netgear. 1 SSID for 2.4 and 5ghz and VHT160 enabled.
Thats a cool allroundersetting for 12 devices.
But i need a repeater for the garden.
The main pcb linked looks totally different to me, all versions have only ONE Ethernet Port, the WR940v3/WR941v6 main pcb has 5 (1 WAN and 4 LAN switch)
since r42054 there is a build for TL-WA901ND_v4.x/v5.x hardware.
Yes, even the same chipset is used on different pcbs and models, but only the newest recreation gets more recent security/bug updated firmware.
I think it would not be hard to adapt a firmware from a one dual color LED pcb to a previous version pcb with 8 LED's and all the same chips. (i.e TP9343 pcb with 32M RAM 4M flash)
