TP-Link TL-WR840N v4 and TL-WR841N v13 are simple N300 routers with
5-port FE switch and non-detachable antennas. Both are very similar
and are based on MediaTek MT7628NN (aka MT7628N) WiSoC.
The difference between these two models is in number of available
LEDs, buttons and power input switch.
This work is partially based on GitHub PR#974.
Specification:
- MT7628N/N (580 MHz)
- 64 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 2x external, non-detachable antennas
- UART (J1) header on PCB (115200 8n1)
- TL-WR840N v4: 5x LED (GPIO-controlled), 1x button
- TL-WR841N v13: 8x LED (GPIO-controlled*), 2x button, power input
switch
* WAN LED in TL-WR841N v13 is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't
(fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both
GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off.
For now, we support/use only the green part of the LED.
Factory image notes:
These devices use version 3 of TP-Link header, fortunately without RSA
signature (at least in case of devices sold in Europe). The difference
lays in the requirement for a non-zero value in "Additional Hardware
Version" field. Ideally, it should match the value stored in vendor
firmware header on device ("0x4"/"0x13" for these devices) but it seems
that anything other than "0" is correct.
We are able to prepare factory firwmare file which is accepted and
(almost) correctly flashed from the vendor GUI. As it turned out, it
accepts files without U-Boot image with second header at the beginning
but due to some kind of bug in upgrade routine, flashed image gets
corrupted before it's written to flash.
Tests showed that the GUI upgrade routine copies value of "Additional
Hardware Version" from existing firmware into offset "0x2023c" in
provided file, _before_ storing it in flash. In case of vendor firmware
upgrade files (which all include U-Boot image and two headers), this
offset points to the matching field in kernel+rootfs firmware part
header. Unfortunately, in case of LEDE factory image file which contains
only one header, it points to the offset "0x2023c" in kernel image. This
leads to a corrupted kernel and ends up with a "soft-bricked" device.
The good news is that U-Boot in these devices contains well known tftp
recovery mode, which can be triggered with "reset" button. What's more,
in comparison to some of older MediaTek based TP-Link devices, this
recovery mode doesn't write whole file at offset "0x0" in flash, without
verifying provided file in advance. In case of recovery mode in these
devices, first "0x20000" bytes are always skipped and "0x7a0000" bytes
from rest of the file are stored in flash at offset "0x20000".
Flash instruction:
Until (if at all) TP-Link fixes described problem, the only way to flash
LEDE image in these devices is to use tftp recovery mode in U-Boot:
1. Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and tftp server.
2. Rename "lede-ramips-mt7628-tl-wr84...-squashfs-tftp-recovery.bin"
to "tp_recovery.bin" and place it in tftp server directory.
3. Connect PC with one of LAN ports, press the reset button, power up
the router and keep button pressed for around 6-7 seconds, until
device starts downloading the file.
4. Router will download file from server, write it to flash and reboot.
To access U-Boot CLI, keep pressed "4" key during boot.

- Flash: 256 MiB
- RAM: 265 MiB
- Ethernet: 5 x LAN (1000 Mbps)
- UART: 1 x UART on PCB (3.3V, RX, TX, GND) - 57600 8N1
- EdgeRouter X:

- powered by Wallwart or passive PoE
- EdgeRouter X-SFP:
- 5 x PoE-Out (24V, passive)
- 1 x SFP (unknown status)
- powered by Wallwart (24V)
Doesn't work:
* SoC has crypto engine but no open driver.
* SoC has nat acceleration, but no open driver.
* This router has 2MB spi flash soldered in but MT
nand/spi drivers do not support pin sharing,
so it is not accessable and disabled. Stock
firmware could read it and it was empty.
Installation
via vendor firmware:
- build an Initrd-image (> 3MiB) and upload the factory-image
- initrd can have luci-mod-failsafe
- flash final firmware via LuCI / sysupgrade on rebooted system
via TFTP:
- stop uboot into tftp-load into option "1"

chipsets, together with 128MB of RAM and 16 MB of SPI Flash.
The stock firmware is in fact based on some openwrt barrier breaker, with a
mediatek SDK kernel, and an afoundry custom made web interface (not LuCI
based).
Firmware update page on the stock web interface can not accept sysupgrade

At this point, the only working solution I found was to connect to the

The Sanlinking Technologies D240
(http://www.sanlinking.com/en/29-dual-4g-wifi-router.html) is basically the same
device as the ZBT WE826, so adding support for it in LEDE is straight forward.
The differences is that the D240 has two mini-PCIe slots (instead of one), blue
LEDs and supports PoE.
Specification:
* CPU: MT7620A
* 1x 10/100Mbps POE (802.3af/802.3at) Ethernet, 4x 10/100Mbps.
* 16 MB Flash.
* 128 MB RAM.
* 1x USB 2.0 port.
* 2x mini-PCIe slots.
* 2x SIM slots.
* 1x 2.4Ghz WIFI.
* 1x button.
Wifi, USB, switch and both mini-PCIe slots are working. I have not been able to
test the SD card reader.
The device comes pre-installed with an older version of OpenWRT, including Luci.
In order to install LEDE, you need to follow the existing procedure for updating
OpenWRT/LEDE using Luci. I.e., you need to access the UI and update the firmware
using the sysupgrade-image. Remember to select that you do not want to keep
existing settings. The default router address is 192.168.10.1 and
username/password admin/root (at least on my devices).
If you brick the device, the procedure for recovery is the same as for the
WE826. Please see the wiki page for that device for instructions.
