I use a TL-WR841ND in our mesh network that has 4 MB too without issue, but using the
"mini" flavor. You don't have access to the administration in LuCi but you
can configure them by SSH.

On Monday night through Wednesday we have a training
that includes
setting up a 400 meter link (near Puyo, Ecuador, UTC-5).
We have purchased a TP-Link Archer C20 v4. We plan to connect it via
Nanostation2 and NanoLoco2 with a WR840Nv5(ES) that belongs to a small
ISP (why this arrangement? combo of cheapest new and used hardware that
I thought would work). The 840N only has 4MB RAM, which I understand is
not really recommended for LibreMesh.
Neither of the routers are on the list of devices at
http://chef.libremesh.org for LibreMesh, but they are on the list for
OpenWrt. The most similar device by name on the LibreMesh list is the
Archer C20i.
If we can LibreMesh-ify the ISPs 840N router in a way that it can easily
be returned to factory firmware, maybe we will do that.
If we can LibreMesh-ify the Archer C20 without a high probability of
bricking it, we will do that (we don't have money in the budget for a
replacement this week).
I can use lime-sdk cooker instead of Chef -- I have done this before to
test a new translation file.
Suggestions on how to proceed?
