Firmware
Instructions:
Complete User Guide:
Restore or replace the router software:
  • 1. If there are no problems for users when switching from official to alternative firmware, an attempt to replace one alternative firmware with another may cause difficulties. For example, if you want to replace OpenWRT with DD-WRT (and other combinations), you will need to roll back to the factory software from the web interface and then upgrade to the desired one.
  • 2. This router is practically not killed (in terms of experiments with software), but a situation may arise when it is necessary to recover, but there is no access to the web interface. Then we do this (an example for revision v2, therefore the files are substituted for the revision corresponding to yours):time, two, three. Firmware for recovery via tftpd revision 3.

back to the drain firmware can return, updating via web interface alternative firmware?

Read carefully the theme, a total of six pages. Yesterday just bought the device and not too lazy to read, although it knew in advance that once put OpenWRT. There is a nuance when you return to the drain.

Hello!
Recently just started using this divays and noticed that when you turn off the power supply from the network and the subsequent inclusion,
router start up at once - the power light and silence, with repeated off and on - start, but if you watch the indicators, it turns out that he himself once again overloaded and at the same time on the laptop can see the connection of the wafer and over the network shutdown. Then, normal operation occurs, such as ...
Immediately after the purchase of put OpenWRT CC 15.05 from office. site. Maybe it's her? The drain is such a moment?

And I notice the old defect openwrt and your build - often freezes on reboot (tested on 2 routers) at first to blame the iron one. I had to revert to the gargoyle.

That is what I said. Occurs sometimes just when you restart from the web interface, you can wait indefinitely when "otduplitsya". The drain does not know, because alter for the second day due to other wildlife issues official firmware. Now, the whole merry company configured routers (3 pieces) runs without intervention for a long time with alternative firmwares. Now the challenge is to make the scanner work MFPs above already interested. Go in at your leisure.

Guys, how to signal power state of affairs? I came across a review that 842m the signal is weaker than 841m. What can you say about this? It is not yet decided on the choice between 841m and 842m.

Pro Power will not say, and 4 MB flash at 841 - it is not gud. You want something to put bags and place then and there.
Although there are ways around this point, but it is better to do without it.



Rep: (55)
On the open wrt site or somewhere nearby saw a comparison of 842 v.1 and v.2 different processors and RAM, 841 must also



Rep: (56)
izvenyayus missed that the 841 version is much percent and wifi modules are the same for 842v2, 841v8 and 3420v2

Guys, how to signal power state of affairs?

842 in my power is more than enough. I reduced power to 63mVt (default) to 10mW while coating a 3 bedroom apartment complete with a confident reception wifi. For comparison - previously stood dir300 v. b1 had to use wifi repeater as the main walls through dlink not beat at full power. In a familiar set up 841 v8, so similar to the drain insertion worth of power limitation (I checked smartphone via wifi analyzer firmware on both). Firmware 841go on openwrt allowed just get rid of the 2nd router in the network (wds ligament).
