ru talking about 1043nd not supported for dd-wrt ?
fyi im running dd-wrt r18024 with 841n

If you want, I CAN precompile the whole OpenWRT firmware with the relevant settings so that all you can do is flash and go. Just say if you want it.

Compiling... hang on.

Added on February 22, 2012, 10:21 amDidn't manage to finish the compile yesterday, power went out and I was too sleepy to restart it. Will do it again today.

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?

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.

Oversight on my part but UPnP is disabled by default, so you'll have to enable it manually. It's at the tab Services > UPNP > Tick the first 3 boxes, press save and apply.

I'm gonna compile a new one later.

Hmm, if you want to do usb storage, it's a bit complicated. I'll also prepare a new image later this week that should allow hard disks to idle properly, and also enable upnp by default, and finally, prepare a proper guide to mount a USB. Sorry that it ain't plug and play.

Ok, managed to setup via webgui [Backfire 10.03.1-rc6] without having to WinSCP/PuTTY to the device, both vlan.500 & 600 work on my HG850a without any problem    :

u may want save the page to your local harddrive , as the site sometime got limited bandwitdh due to too many access.

but you need to becareful when you use openwrt,  read the step few times before you apply, because i have bricked 2 941ND before because my itchy hand to disturb some setting that i dont know.

but openwrt is very flexible and it is worth to  spend some time to learn it.

yes, but i plan to  replace with  1043nd . hopefully, the stock  will available soon.

Is TP Link 1043ND with DD-WRT firmware able to work as a repeater(Non-WDS)? I searched through online and I got different answers...
I know Gargoyle firmware works... but I prefer to use DD-WRT...

Can it work in Client Mode?

Do you mean to another TP-Link running DD-WRT/Openwrt?

Client Mode works!
I'm successfully running in Client Mode on the 1043 on DD-WRT connected to a non DD-WRT AP
It's stable and sustaining a full 1mbps download.

Nope.
