How to replace OpenWrt with DD-WRT

  1. Set up an HTTP server.
  2. Download the firmware file "/tplink_tl-wdr4300v1/factory-to-ddwrt.bin" from the build folder, and save the firmware file to the root of the public web server folder. You must use the "factory-to-ddwrt.bin" file when writing with mtd. Do not use the "tl-wdr4300-webflash.bin" file, which will brick your router.
  3. Login by SSH.
  4. View the partitions.
    cat /proc/mtd
  5. Verify that you have a "firmware" partition for mtd to write.
  6. You must download the firmware file in the "/tmp" directory.
    cd /tmp
    wget http://192.168.1.100/factory-to-ddwrt.bin
  7. Write the firmware.
    mtd -r write /tmp/factory-to-ddwrt.bin firmware
