Model: TL-WR840N  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version:

Hi! I tried to install openwrt into my TL-WR840N(KR) v5. I tried to install with GUI installation but it failed with error(I don't remember the error number). So I tried to install openwrt using TFTP but after uploading openwrt firmware power lamp is just keep blinking(green light). I was thinking that my router is went brick so I tried to recover with original firmware from tp-link homepage with TFTP but power lamp is keep blinking. Is there any way to recover my router? I called tp-link support center but person from support center are just keep saying there's other way without GUI installation(where is TFTP??). It will be awesome if I can install openwrt to my router.

@Pol4bear 

 

Please hard reset it first by holding the reset hole for 10s with it powered on. 

 

Then you can try to recover the router via the web page.

If still the same, I'm afraid that there is not much we can do. 

 

Besides, cause it is damaged by the 3rd party firmware installation, according to the warranty policy, we cannot offer a replacement, you can order a new router to get internet. 

 

Good day.
