Hi everyone
I'm Bruno who helped implemented the mesh network in Fumaça in Brazil.
I'm teaching a workshop and setting up a demo network in the south of the country (Vila Santa Marta in the city of São Leopoldo, at Rio Grande do Sul state).
I got a batch of new wdr3500 from the US that wouldn't accept lime or openwrt firmware (Error code: 18005). TP-Link is making more difficult to use a non-official firware, However I followed the instructions from the forum below and got it to work:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=63123In short, you have to install dd-wrt, then roll back to original firmware using another .bin downloaded from dd-wrt, then you can finally install lime. And you must rename the file to the name of one of the official tp-link firmware files (wdr3500v1_en_us_3_14_3_up_boot(151104).bin is what worked for me).
