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=63123 geeregman wrote: *1. flashed ddwrt : http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic. … ht=wdr3600 <http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=289789&highlight=wdr3600>2. flashed webrevert.bin: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic. … p;start=30 <http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=85237&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30>3. flashed OpenWrt file.* In 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). I guess it has to do with those new fcc rules? http://ml.ninux.org/pipermail/battlemesh/2016-February/004379.html Anyway, happy meshing you all Bruno _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)lists.libre-mesh.org https://lists.libre-mesh.org/mailman/listinfo/users

great, I'd love to keep contributing to the documentation On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 8:15 AM, Pau &lt;pau(a)dabax.net <mailto:pau@dabax.net>> wrote: It looks like it might be related with the new FCC stuff. Great to see that you've found the way of skipping these absurd restrictions. I've add your little text into our documentation/hardware section of http://libre-mesh.org web site. If you like to extend it or modify, send us a pull-request via github or a patch via e-mail. https://github.com/libre-mesh/lime-web/tree/master/docs/hardware Thanks.
