openwrt_d-link-TL-WA850RE_V1 21.02.0 RC4

openwrt_d-link-TL-WA854RE_V1 21.02.0 RC4

for build remove line in: openwrt/package/kernel/mac80211/files/lib/wifi/mac80211.sh

set wireless.radio${devidx}.disabled=1

this will enable wireless by default and you can connect to 854V1 via wifi.

and

for build edit in: openwrt/target/linux/ath79/image/tiny-tp-link.mk for 850V1:

TPLINK_HWID := 0x08500001  

or for 854V1 , rest stays:

TPLINK_HWID := 0x08540001

example 854V1:

define Device/tplink_tl-wa850re-v1
  $(Device/tplink-4mlzma)
  SOC := ar9341
  DEVICE_MODEL := TL-WA850RE
  DEVICE_VARIANT := v1
  TPLINK_HWID := 0x08540001
   DEVICE_PACKAGES := rssileds
  SUPPORTED_DEVICES += tl-wa850re
endef
TARGET_DEVICES += tplink_tl-wa850re-v1

and build as it would be an 850V1, even if it is an 854V1.

be care that the maximum filesize (sysupgrade) shoud not bigger than about 3,5 MB. but flash the factory-image. save space https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/saving_space and use default kernel strip options to save more space.

Note

use precompiled images, such as mine only for testing, build always your own.
