 The only way to flash the image in TL-WR802N v4 is to use tftp recovery mode in U-Boot: The only way to flash the image in TL-WR802N v4 is to use tftp recovery mode in U-Boot:
  
-  - Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.225/24 and tftp server. **Alternate server IP address that worked for me was 192.168.0.66** +  - Install a TFTP server application. For Windows "tftp32" works. For Mac "Pumpkin" was the easiest method for me. 
-  - Download a tfpt server application. For windows "tftp 32" works. For Mac "Pumpkin" was the easiest method for me. +  - Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.225/24 **Alternative server IP address that worked for me was 192.168.0.66** 
-  - Choose the default (root) directory for your server. +  - Rename ''openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-tplink_tl-wr802n-v4-squashfs-tftp-recovery.bin'' to ''tp_recovery.bin'' and place it in the TFTP server folder. 
-  - Rename ''openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-tplink_tl-wr802n-v4-squashfs-tftp-recovery.bin'' to ''tp_recovery.bin'' and place it in tftp server directory. +  - Connect PC with the LAN port, press the reset button and switch on the router, keeping the button pressed for around 10 sec, until device starts downloading the file. Pumpkin on Mac by will ask you to approve the file transfer. 
-  - Connect PC with the LAN port, press the reset button, power up the router and keep button pressed for around 10 seconds, until device starts downloading the file. Pumpkin on Mac by default will prompt for approval for the file transfer. +  - Router will download file from the server, write it to flash and reboot. The reboot process takes a couple of minutes. The light on the device will cycle through various patterns as it updates. 
-  - Router will download file from server, write it to flash and reboot. The reboot process takes a couple of minutes. The light on the device will cycle through various patterns as it updates. +  - Once the LED turns solid, the upgrade should have been completed. 
-  - When the light on the device settles on solid it should be fully rebooted. +  - Configure your client to DHCP client again, and login to the web GUI at 192.168.1.1.
-  - You can now set your computer to receive a DHCP address and login to the web GUI at 192.168.1.1+

-Up to 4 SSIDs are supported, maximum transmit power is 25 dBm (country code AU). IEEE 802.1Q VLANs are supported.+Even WR802Nv4 is sold, there are hardware differences. Devices beginning with serialnumer 219 and 220 support 25 dBm maximum transmit power, whereas devices with serial number beginning with 221 support only 22 dBm maximum transmit power. In all cases Wifi chipset is MediaTek MT76x8 802.11bgn. 
 +Or maybe this is dependant on TP-Link department. So italy would be 25 dBm wheras Germany would be 22 dBm, details see here https://forum.openwrt.org/t/wr802n-different-maximum-transmit-power-depending-on-batch/116958/6
  
-Output of iw phy for all+Up to 4 SSIDs are supported on all those versions.

 +Output of iw phy for all for Italy / 25 dBm version with country code AU.
