Back to Stock Firmware

Unfortunately I have to return my TP-Link WR1043ND back to the store with the original firmware, its a long story. Just when I got it working well!

How would I go about getting back to stock firmware, obviously you cant just "upgrade" from the web ui. Would I upgrade to openwrt and then back to stock firmware? not sure if this would work because ive never used open wrt but I remember reading that somewhere.

Can anyone steer me in the right to direction?

link does not work anymore

Are these the same as the one on the TP-LINK site ?
Or will these brick the router ?

Thanks
