I'd like to highlight for those that have already on OpenWRT you will need to 1st flash it back to this firmware 1st http://www.tp-link.com.my/resources/softwa...82817292310.zip

before flashing it to the German firmware.

This link will confirm what i say http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1...iginal.firmware

because the German firmware contains the boot loader which will brick the device if you flash it from OpenWRT to prevent it you have to use one firmware with out the word 'Boot' on the filename

Hi,

The steps I've described above is what has worked for me for this model and versions 1.8 and 1.9. So if you followed the instructions above you should be fine.

What benlye said needn't be done was that you don't need to flash with OpenWRT factory firmware but directly to the sys upgrade firmeware after you have restored it to the original German TP Link firmware.

Hope that clears it up for you.
