How to install custom firmware(Openwrt) in router using TFTP method | TP-LINK WR902AC (V3)

In this video i am showing the process to install custom firmware in the router. Some routers doesn't support direct method of installation in the router. So, the method of TFTP is used.

[@kevinmaloney4691]

This method worked perfectly for me, and I did not mind the music or snowflakes at all. Thank you so much for the guidance.

[@andyanderson8238]

Thanks - got me on the right path. Don't forget you need to let the TFTP traffic through your firewall though.

[@arkdukecustoms1916]

Yes, it was not recorded as it ask for administrative permission.

[@rolandgrant1663]

Thanks and just share some light the port for TFTP is 69.

[@nathankeirn2108]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@laohu1514]

Worked like a charm, great tutorial.

[@TheHITMAN2019]

What is the use of this what more can you do with this custom flash?

[@sagnikbairagya]

Nice video bro, hoping for more

[@astantine85]

This was hard to watch.

[@imark7777777]

I'm thinking about doing this since I've been running into connection and DNS issues relaying a wireless hotspot to more than five devices.
Does the mode switch function? Should I absolutely not be questioning this and just do it?
Will I be answering my own question probably.

Did u more projects with this router? Like an antenna replacement?

Hello ! Channel 100 5Ghz DFS is unusable on official firmware, does this firmware solve the problem ?

[@user-wc1id1ld5j]

Please help me.. I have same router and Huawei dongle modem.. dongle not connect to router only routers light blinking showing unplugged.. how it solve tell me

[@mksagal]

how about the mode switch, does it still work after flashing to openwrt?

[@arebokert]

The switch does nothing after you flash openwrt, and in order to get the same functionality as you did on stock you need to manually configure the networking in openwrt. There is no guided setup like in the stock firmware. I flashed back to stock because even though I know how to set up all modes manually in openwrt, I am not going to sit in a hotel room and configure it using my phone every time I go on holiday.

[@dozog]

@@arebokert Thanks. This made me not even try to perform the install.
The TP-Link app in "share hot-spot Mode" does not work (AT ALL), but the web interface is workable if you go from hotel to hotel.

Trying this on my v4 hardware for the WR902AC

[@pquodling]

Trying to do this from a mac - which has default tftpd server sw installed - but being a mac book pro doesn't have an ethernet. Is a hard ether connection mandatory, or can this work over wifi?

[@arkdukecustoms1916]

ethernet is compulsory

[@ivanjimenez1686]

I need the Serial method

[@adamhorak5526]

Is there a VPN options on this router ? I cannot see VPN menu :-(

[@dozog]

JFC even if the tutorial is 100% correct, the editing is horrible.
Like how the instructions open from the center.... and are then partially blocked by the logo in the bottom...

[@napper1496]

Then u do one

[@thelightings]

thank you so much

[@janernstd9842]

Is the tp link wr902ac support openwrt usb tethering?

[@insane3184]

Tried on various router but it didn't transfer

[@vodkalikpatates]

Would this work for ZTE router?

[@faisalmahmood1908]

Thanks for sharing, is it possible to restore the default firmware too?

[@anshulsingh83]

Hi,. My "Tp-Link Archer c50 V1" router is bricked and would like to get help in this regard.
I flashed Openwrt firmware on it using web gui of the router.After this the router went to bootloop with single led and then all led's blinking in alternate fashion with 2 sec delay.
I used the TFTPD to read log file and then flashed the original firmaware back after renaming it as per tftpd log .After this the router bricked further(the red led glows for a sec when I power on the router but then no Led's blink).I cannot use tftpd at this stage .Is there any way to still get it working?

[@arkdukecustoms1916]

See my other video to unbrick router using tftp method as trimming the head of the firmware is necessary

[@napper1496]

Can you please tell me what benefits there are to doing this? I mean, if the switch etc doesn’t work afterwards,what’s the point? Thanks

[@arkdukecustoms1916]

There are various advantages of using custom rom like openwrt.

[@richardvinzant4103]

[@ARKASARKAR-dz8dn]

Your router must be in the recovery/flashing mode

[@arafatrahman1105]

Admin panel cant login

[@mrrc421]
