Model: CPE210  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: LEDE

Hello, about a year ago I installed the Firmware of LEDE version 18 on my Tplink CPE210, and I was using my antenna without difficulty, now a few days ago I decided to restore it with its original Firmware.


I did it step by step through this link


https://www.tp-link.com/fr-be/support/faq/844/
https://oldwiki.archive.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-cpe210#debricking

 

But the antenna now I can not access the web, nor do I have ping 192.168.0.254. is dead.
The process seems to me that everything is going well.


I downloaded the 3 Firmware available on the original tplink site and tested each one of them and it still doesn't work


The method I used was Tftp:
This is the Tftp log:
Connection received from 192.168.0.254 on port 4011 [04/17 19: 29: 52.500]
Read request for file <recovery.bin>. Mode octet [04/17 19: 29: 52,500]
OACK: <timeout = 5, blksize = 512,> [04/17 19: 29: 52.500]
Using local port 53429 [04/17 19: 29: 52,500]
<recovery.bin>: sent 8731 blks, 4470235 bytes in 2 s. 0 blk resent [04/17 19: 29: 54.890]


The process seems to be going well. Load the Firmware, then turn on all the LEDs. They turn off and only the power stays on and in about 15 seconds LAN0 turns on and does nothing more.


Could you tell me if I am making a mistake in the process?
How can I install the original Tplink Firmware?
In case you can't install your original software, how could you install LEDE again as a last resort?


I am grateful in advance for any help you can give me to recover my antenna.
Sincerely
Ivan

Greetings friend: @BRAULIOFIGUEROA 

 

well if you currently have your Tp link CPE210 worked with OpenWRT, I would not recommend trying to go back to its original software. I tried and I almost lost my antenna since it was dead and I could not access its website and it did not work, after having tried hundreds of times to recover it with Tftp on Win 10 and Win 7 and not having any results.
I found this link https://wiki.freifunk.net/TP-Link_CPE210/TFTP-Flash_unter_Ubuntu that gave me hope.


Install Ubuntu 18.04 and Tftp as this link describes and try again to recover Tplink CPE210 with their original firmwares, I tried all 3 available versions repeatedly and got no results. Finally, and I did a test with openwrt-19.07.2-ar71xx-generic-cpe210-220-v1-squashfs-factory.bin the name (recovery.bin) and to my surprise I resurrected.


Eye I say that I am resurrected since the frimware that I used was in its version openwrt-19.07.2 but finally I managed to enter my antenna, but the frimware that it has is OpenWrt 18.06.4 r7808-ef686b7292. I mean, apparently I don't actually update fix something that allowed it to start again. At this point I have not dared to update to the new version openwrt-19.07.2 or try again to return to original frimware.


Maybe an Openwrt developer if he were so nice and speculated and gave his opinion of what he could see happened and if they have somehow made this process work.
If someone has managed to do it and could describe the procedure of how I managed to solve this, please share them with us.


I have other test ideas that I would like to do, but I'm afraid that the Tp link CPE210 will be dead again and I won't be able to resuscitate it again.


In advance, thanks to everyone who can contribute something.
attentively
Ivan
