Problem with installation any plug-ins

Post by Baator »

Good day!
Need your advice!
After installing the firmware on the TP-link tl-wr841nd v.10.0 there is no possibility to install any plug-ins (either from the web interface or from the console)/
I want to clarify, that the flash memory was replaced by me by 16 MB.
While, some localization packages supposedly require almost 12MB of free space.
Tell me, please, what could be the reason for this?

Plugin installation is disabled on routers with 4mb of flash or less.
If you upgraded your hardware yourself, you need to compile your own version of the firmware, modified to suit the additional space.

Thanks for the quick response!
Сould you tell me a link to a resource that contains an instruction that describes what you need to change when building your own firmware?

Building your own firmware is step 1.
After you can successfully do that, customising is step 2.

If your router is already showing the correct memory in the version of Gargoyle you are trying, then the modification is simple. Switching IPKG Clean from “full” to “partial” should be enough.

If not, then we need to “redefine” what your router is. Something I’m not an expert in, but I’m sure there is an example available somewhere.

Thank you!
I started the building and will test the result.
Router correctly determined the size of the plugin-root directory after installation of the finished firmware, so i changed only the specified IPKG_CLEAN parameter.
