All setup for tomorrow now: 100Mb image already flashed.
For those on the verge about trying the images but put off by the process: Eric’s tool made things super easy, but even doing it manually (easily more than 10 times already over here), it is straight forward:
– Change your PC’s IP to 192.168.0.66
– Use TFTP-Recovery: the transfer process takes 10 seconds tops.
– Change your PC’s IP to 192.168.1.66
– Follow Eric’s steps given here: https://ethernet-sound.com/openwrt-als-minimal-image-auf-dem-tp-link-tl-wr902ac-v3-v4/
– Change your PC’s IP to dynamic once again and you should have Internet while connected to the TL-WR902AC. I typically go to speedtest.net to test the speed I am getting and at the same time know if I did OK while configuring the device.
Two comments while at this:
– If you get a warning error about connecting to 192.168.1.1. Use <ssh-keygen -R 192.168.1.1>. It is a security warning, but since it is us doing the process, clear it with the above command.
– If for any reason you cannot get Internet, you might want to try changing the IP of the TL-WR902AC to something different to 192.168.1.1 as it might be already in use by your router. This did it for me.
Just a couple of things to have in mind: the process is not hard as it might seem the first time.
All the best,
Bruno
