Installation

Flashing via webinterface

• Download the factory firmware image offered above to your Computer.
• Connect your Computer to a LAN port of the TP-link. If the configuration was not changed, the DHCP on the router will give you a 192.168.0.X address and the TP-link web administration page is 192.168.0.1. (User: admin, Password: admin) Under System Tools select Firmware Upgrade. Browse to the previously downloaded openwrt-18.06.2-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v5-squashfs-factory.bin file. Click Upgrade.
• If the Webinterface tells you You have no authority to access this router! that’s because your browser does not send the correct HTTP referer header. Disable addons or use a different browser.
• Connect to 192.168.1.1 with your web browser
• Set your password and configure the router through the web UI. Basic Config Congratulations! You just installed OpenWrt on your Router!

Flashing via TFTP

• Download the factory firmware image offered above to your Computer.
• Configure a computer with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and a TFTP server. On Debian or Ubuntu you can use either the tftpd-hpa or tftpd server packages.
• Rename the downloaded firmware image to ArcherC7v5_tp_recovery.bin and place it in the tftp server’s root directory. (If using tftpd-hpa this is /var/lib/tftpboot/; if tftpd, it is /srv/tftp/) You can test that the file is downloadable with tftp localhost and get ArcherC7v5_tp_recovery.bin.
• Connect the computer to one of the router’s Ethernet ports while the router is off. Press and keep pressed the router’s reset button and power it up. After about 7-10 seconds release the reset button. The power LED will flicker rapidly for ~3 seconds, indicating download of the firmware file.
• The router will write the firmware to flash during ~40 more seconds of occasional power LED blinks, and then will reboot by itself, ready for use.

Comments

General

Some devices can not be directly flashed with 18.06.1, this was fixed in snapshots. Either use TFTP recovery like https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tp-link_archer_c20_v4#installation (but with filename ArcherC7v5_tp_recovery.bin) or install snapshot, then downgrade to 18.06.1 (beware: no luci webinterface in snapshots). Some devices can not be downgraded to 18.06.1, but work ok with snapshot.
