TP-Link TL-WR802N

Anyone on the forum have experience with the TP-Link TL-WR802N? Specifically has anyone tried running third party firmware on it? It looks like it is similar to the TL-WR841ND v9 and can unofficially run the firmware intended for the TL-WR841ND v9. Anyone try and have any experience with it? I got one as a gift and its a cool little unit for travel, I'd just like to give it some more capabilities...

the development of OpenWRT TL-WR802N

I resubmitted the patch for this device because a lot of people asked for it. But it looks like the development of OpenWRT is stalled for some time - so I'll leave the firmware binaries here until it has been integrated. 

There's an image with and one without LuCI in case you need more space for additional packages. 

This is the current trunk (Designated Driver) from 04-04-2016. It's not completely tested so your device might catch fire.

TP-LINK TL-WR802N V4

I’m trying to “add support” (well, see if it’s possible in the first place) for lede/openwrt and the tp link tl-wr802N v4.

According to https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WR802N_v4.x, the SoC is a MediaTek MT7628N, also used in TL-WR840N v4 for example, so that should be supported.

So, I opened up a tl-wr802n v4 and start searching for serial pins (usually, those are named TP_IN, TP_OUT, I read).

I found none.

So, what would be the next step to try to have lede running on these devices?
I took many photos of the board, if someone see something i missed…

Thanks,

According to this ticket for openwrt, it's the same chipset as TL-WR841N(D) v9 which is supported.

TP-LINK TL-WR802N openwrt

Did anyone try to flash from the TP-Link GUI directly, or via TFTP? If via the GUI it might be the filename that is causing the problem. In the installation link you posted there is this note that the TL-WR841N firmware does not accept the OpenWRT filename. Maybe the TL-WR802 firmware is doing the same thing?

":!: Note: Newest version of tp link firmware (tested on TL-WR841N_V9_150310 / 3.16.9) does not accept openwrt firmware filename,

so you have to rename the downloaded openwrt firmware to something what looks

like stock firmware prior flashing,

i.e. wr841nv9_wr841ndv9_en_3_16_9_up(150310).bin

for V9 - check the zip with original firmware on tp link website for correct file name scheme - I'd suggest to remove "boot" word from filename, because openwrt firmware does not contain boot loader."

Bricked TP-Link WR841N/ND Recovery Unbrick Without A Serial Connection

DD-WRT install on TP-LINK TL-WR802N

No guarantees as I am a noob. But I think that I came across a solution for you in the process of bricking and unbricking WR802Nv1.

1. Follow youtube video:    Bricked TP-Link WR841N/ND Recovery Unbrick

2. Download Firmware version: http://www.tp-link.us/res/down/soft/TL-WR802N_V1_150717.zip (Other firmware versions have the upgrade error that you mentioned)

3. As in video use IP 192.168.0.66 to TFTP.

4. Rename the firmware to "wr802nv1_tp_recovery.bin"

5. Plug the router into the ethernet and push in reset button for 3-4 seconds. (Make sure firewalls and antivirus turned off)

This is my one and only idea. I hope it helps. If not, I am out of ideas.
