Hi.
My TP-LINK AC 1750 is bricked.
There´s no wat to debrick.
It was flashing to OPENWRT to DD-WRT and it Bricked.
I tried to use Tftpd32 but it has no response.
When I push the resset button :
the software changes to 127.0.0 it Send´s some data but nothing else.

Power up with reset button pressed for 3-5 seconds, have your TFTP server set up to serve the appropriate file name on a client device with 192.168.0.66 set as static IP with 192.168.0.1 set as gateway, netmask 24 or 255.255.255.0 and bind tftpd32 / tftpd64 to that IP address in settings with anticipation window of (at least) 1024.
Archer A7 V5 and C7 V5 are two different routers, and nobody should ever flash directly from OpenWrt to DD-WRT.
No details or any files attempted only bricked and no wat. Select interface in dropdown or configure tftpd manually.
All of the information is given on how to recover this device in all links. You have to use the recessed reset button on the back of the router; press in and hold while powering up until the WPS (double circular arrow) LED comes on. Probably more advisable to flash back to the oldest stock firmware rather than trying to flash DD-WRT factory-to-ddwrt.bin file directly, but either option should be possible.
EDIT: re-structured this post and added further information on the applicable C7 v5; the information on the A7 v5 may or may not be applicable and can be disregarded.

A7v5 has very different flash layout and firmwares despite need to rename file for tftp recovery adds to confusion.
Clearly in the screenshot OP macawcode router model is Archer C7(US) Ver:5.0 so zero need to talk about others.
Anyway, good luck getting (curFw_ver, newFw_ver) == (1.1, 7.0) back to something reasonable, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 etc.
As I already said, your only hope at this point is to tftp back to OpenWrt for now. Then maybe stock then DD-WRT.

Confusion is that there are no stock firmware bootlogs for the C7v5 to verify that claim; looks to me that it was just going off the information found on the OpenWRT wiki. Someone can get one of each with stock firmware and hook up serial and set the record straight. _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

Reworked my initial comment and added content, but forgot Archer C7 v5 Wi-Fi Problems & Revert to stock help thread. There are two threads, one from this forum and one from the OpenWRT forum by "fced" regarding de-bricking this router. As far as the C7 v5 vs the A7 v5 (both EU and US), the flash layouts of the C7 v5 and A7 v5 are different from the C7 v2 - but otherwise the same with a few exceptions for fwup-ptn data - see below. The fwup-ptn data / layout between the C7 v5 and A7v5 -are- different, so "the flash layouts are different" statement is (somewhat) correct. Neither device requires a stripped file for TFTP recovery, however. For the truly masochistic folks, you can do a uboot recovery via serial if you must. Sorry, but felt it necessary post-intervention to clarify some things in this thread, regardless of the consequences. _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

I don´t know what´s going on here.
Sometime the software boot and it start´s to install the .bin file
The problem is that it never ends, it pricks.
It never pass the 55%

Read what I said earlier, and look at your own screenshot:

Check the box next to "Bind TFTP to this address" and select 192.168.0.66.
Check the box next to "Use anticipation window of" and enter 1024.
It's also advisable to have an unmanaged switch between PC and router,
but not absolutely necessary. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
