Please check the file name. Root cause: TP-Link “Region locked” firmware. This firmware is checking for a specific region signature when flashing. Solutions: Use an OpenWrt firmware image with the appropriate region code (US, EU, …) for your device, if available Make the filename shorter, like factory-eu.bin or firmware.bin Use TFTP for flashing instead of WebGUI (TFTP flashing does not check regional code) https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/81462 possibly rename the OpenWrt image to wr802nv1_tp_recovery.bin (adapt filename to your device) FAQ, before installation, install openwrt, install, error, error code This website uses cookies.
