How to reset (recover) the factory firmware on a TP-Link TL-WR842ND v2.1.
192.168.0.66
All info is taken from this page on OpenWRT and corrected to work with my particular device and setup.
dd if=wr842ndv2_en_3_16_9_up_boot(150514).bin of=wr842nv2_tp_recovery.bin skip=257 bs=512
On Arch:
pacman -Syu tftp-hpa
Then move the wr842nv2_tp_recovery.bin
you just created and put it in /srv/tftp
.
Start the TFTP server:
systemctl start tftpd.socket systemctl start tftpd.service
192.168.0.66
If all goes well, the device should pick up quickly the new firmware and reboot.
