I'm giving you guys a trunk build (r30366). I've tested this to be stable for at least 15 days. Power went out so I'm back to 0h on my router's uptime. Wireless is excellent, I've been able to get max speed for wireless-n.

I've also included one or two interesting packages if you guys ever want to check it out (will require ssh) like,
znc
iftop

Well, I can't remember what else.

Finally, here's the link. Enjoy!
sysupgrade is for upgrading a previous openwrt firmware.
factory is for upgrading from stock image.

I didn't test the image first as I don't have a spare device but there's no reason for it to not work. Still, use it at your own risk.

So, how do we use this?

http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1...sy.installation

Finally, login to the router, change the password for the login, then go to Network tab > Interface tab > press the Edit button at the line containing WAN. That's where you can set your unifi username and password. Press Save and Apply to continue.

bro,
just a question on how to revert back to the original firmware. Can i just used 1 of the firmware listed here: http://www.tp-link.com.my/support/download...del=TL-WR1043ND ?
I've download all the firmware there and it's in the format or xxxupxxx, which is not xxxbootxxx, so do i still needa do the cutting?

which is written on the wiki given that "Cut the first 0x20200 (that is 131,584 = 257*512) Bytes from original firmware:"

what will happen if i never or over-cut it?? just a pre-caution b4 i try on ur firmware..

thanks..

Anybody using OpenWRT can share how is the bandwith control on it?

I used to use DD WRT on 1043ND but choose to go back to factory fw since the QoS on the factory one is more suitable for managing bandwith/user as it use ip as the parameter to allocate the bandwith.

How about OpenWRT?

No cutting if there's no boot in the name. Also, once you got the firmware, change it to a shorter name like, say, code.bin and to flash back to factory, scp into the router, place code.bin into /tmp and do this

OpenWrt has no easy user interface for allocating bandwidth per IP (aka, you can say, quota management?) There's the alternative though, that is, gargoyle routers, which is based on OpenWRT, that is capable of limiting traffic based on the rules.

Apart from that, if you really want to use OpenWrt and still manage bandwidth/user, you'd have to learn tc and linux scripting. Not to scare you, but be prepared to spend a week to learn it.

Fixing that is quite easy. Also, you don't need that line anymore, as unifi has changed their method for identifying IPTV, no need to set the port priority to 1 anymore. Anyhow I'm impressed that someone managed to find the magic command to set port priority to 1. I've been looking for it for ages, but then TM made it unnecessary, haha.

If you insist, add that line to /etc/rc.local. Alternatively, login to the web interface, go to System > Startup. Scroll down, add that line to startup before 'exit 0'. It works because /etc/rc.local is executed only after every single one of the scripts in the boot procedure are done.

Of course, the line I'm talking about is this one.


It should work even after reboot.

Finally, I'd rather replace the line containing "config 'interface' 'iptv" and below it with this.



It's so that the router doesn't grab an IP from their server, because there's no need for it.
EDIT: Underlined the important parts.

EDIT2: Hopefully someone made a proper guide lol. I'm not good at writing one.

just few simply question..

1.can the GUI do DHCP reservation list?? I need it to assign the particular IP to particular mac Address.

2. can DDNS done on GUI?

3. are able to browse and telnet from WAN through DDNS? As currently the stock firmware dont have telnet which limit my work to telnet over to my internet devices.
or it need to be done on CLI.

thanks.. SSH is just port 22.. no problem on tat as long as GUI.. lazy to learn all linux command..
eer.. SSH meant command base? what about GUI?

1 more question..

GUI can do port forwarding? hope this is the last.. if i left out any will voice out again.. thanks..

The GUI is like 1000 times more advanced than DD-WRT's. So, yes, you can.

SSH is secure shell. SSH encrypts, telnet doesn't. Telnet sends everything in plain text, including your password.

Well, the GUI itself is using http so there's not really any encryption. You can, however, install the https version of luci.

Has anyone here successfully setup DDNS?
I'm not using any custom firmware, the firmware version is : 
3.13.4 Build 110429

I registered an account on no-ip, and I've already placed all the details required(username/pass/domain name) but the connection status
is still 'Connecting..'

Anything else I need to do to get it properly connected?

not problem setting up DDNS. I tested all the DDNS with tp-link firmware and openwrt

it all works...

try rebooting ur unit.

Have you tried dyndns instead? no-ip always seems to fail for me. Gave up, went for what everyone uses, dyndns.

Alright, I'll reboot the router once I get home.
Need DDNS to access web ui for my usenet client so I can easily add my download link from anywhere
Just found out how to actually use usenet to download anything for free 

Btw, what's really the advantage of openwrt over tp link firmware?
I take it you've successfully flash back and forth for both firmware?
I'm just afraid I'll brick my router

Added on March 5, 2012, 1:06 pm@blindbox, need ur experty on how to run luci-ssl

I've installed it, but seem like it's not working..

i cant used https to access from external... still running http

Paste your /etc/config/uhttpd here (preferrably pastebin). Settings for uhttpd are not exposed in luci.
