I've had a similar problem with a TL-WR1043ND V1 recently. Looks like the USB port is picky with devices, I had to try three different USB sticks to get it working. The symptoms were the same, did work one time, then again failed to recognize the device. There were error messages in the system logs ...

Of course, that's what I did. Selected to format, chose 5% (or whatever) as swap, entered my password in the confirmation dialog, and got a working SD card with two partitions. But after a reboot, swap is inactive (no entry on the status page) and I have to activate it manually with "swapon -a&...

extroot and swap, yes, but only when formatting media. I did format the card (5% swap or the like, rest as ext4), but didn't go for extroot because that's inconvenient when doing updates and 8MB flash should be sufficient for the time being. I've set plugin_root to the external device, and that's wo...

Okay, next try with yet another device, this time a USB card reader (Delock 076030) with 4GB SD card. Working fully, both swap and plugin root. So there is some incompatibility with various USB devices, and nobody knows how to fix it. I've got my workaround, so it's going to stay that way for the ne...

There is an old tickt on openwrt: https://dev.archive.openwrt.org/ticket/6779
Seems to be an ongoing problem for some and many years, without real solution

Now if the USB stick would work :?: I've got problems with the router not (or very unreliably) recognizing two different 16GB sticks. Stick number one, Sandisk Cruzer Blade: Fri Jun 12 09:04:30 2020 daemon.info procd: - init complete - Fri Jun 12 09:04:32 2020 kern.err kernel: [ 152.625879] usb 1-1:...

9MB free RAM are not enough to run "gpkg install"? Oh well, time to find a USB stick then, luckily the router has USB ports. The flash shouldn't be a problem, though, but I can always switch to extroot.

I've just upgraded an old TL-WR1043ND V1.1 to this version. This is a fresh install, the router acts as access point only. Now I've got a problem: Refreshing plugins works, but installing any plugin (language, ping watchdog, logread) does nothing. No error, in the WebUI, but also no installation. SS...

Just though I'd give a quick update, I was on the stock build of 1.12 and still getting dropouts with the wireless. Still able to restore it by issuing "wifi up" in the console but was looking for a longer-term fix. I couldn't get my head round the scripting to use ping watchdog There's n...

You could install the ping watchdog and use it to automatically restart wifi in case the router detects loss of connection to a wifi peer.
