How To Remove DD WRT Firmware On A TP Link WIFI Router WR940N And Restoring To The Stock Firmware

[@user-ee1wn6jv1h]

Richard, you are my life saver. I almost bricked my router after trying several wrong ways. But luckily enough I found this video on dd-wrt forum and now I'm back to my normal life. Thank you!

[@richardlloydusa]

You're most welcome. Comments like this make my DAY! 😁️ I'm glad to know I could help you and that you got value from my work here. I made this video to help people just like you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

[@kamilstajgl]

First my reset button+on/off button didn’t work. (archer c7 v5) Than I turned off all firewall and tried again (from turned off state, first use pin to press and hold reset button, than press on/off and keep holding reset button for 10-20 secs.) It helped. Thanks!

You are just AWESOME!! Out of all the videos I watched on KZbin and tutorials for solid 5 hours troubleshooting my TP-Link 1043N(D) on web revert to stock despite using the webrevert to stock file from DD-WRT website... My router didn't have power button but I pressed and held on to the reset switch until info pop up on log file. Only your video save me..Thank you so much...

[@bapplesauce7179]

Thanks Richard! I followed your instructions and it worked like a charm on my C7 v5.6. If anyone reading the comments has issues where things timeout while the .bin is transferring, I suggest trying with an older version of the firmware. That worked for me then I could upgrade to the newest firmware the normal way through the TP-Link web GUI. Again, thanks Richard.

Great video, Richard! I watch a lot of how to and this is top notch. Your method-of-instruction with telling me what you're going to tell me and then telling me what you've told me is pro. Your patience with details is impressive, too. I used your method on an Archer C7V5, so your extra effort with the log-view find-the-file-name was much appreciated.

Hi Richard, thanks for this fantastic tutorial. After a couple of initial problems of my own making, I got to revert my 940nV4 back to stock. What I would say for others is that when downloading the TPTFD, Google refused saying it was a dangerous program so I had to alter my security settings to get it to download. So far I have not got any virus's or malware from it.

[@JorgeMaster]

Richard, you are awesome! Thank you very much. Thanks to your tutorial, you can fix my router and I have the internet again. You are demaism thank you very much! Hug from a Brazilian!

I want to remove DDWRT from my router (ARCHER c7 ac1750) and revert to stock I've tried so hard to look for a solution to no avail. I used the software on this website to try to revert www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/archer-c7/ . I also ran a full reflash on the bios and it still reverted to ddwrt. Could you please guide me in the right direction to remove ddwrt from my router?

Hi Richard, I just wanna say thank you and i really mean it. I wanna thank you for a million times for your easy and detailed tutorial on how to get the router back to the original firmware. I installed open wrt and this tutorial worked fine and no problems happend. I have just one question:when you set the ip for the ethernet connection why did you type 192.168.0.66 why this number specifically? And can i use another number for future uses?

Hello Richard, your tutorial is very well put; however, nothing happens after I hold reset and power botton. No logs whatsoever. What do you suggest? Archer C7 V5. Many thanks

thank you very much! it really helped me. It worked on WA901N/ND (EU) V5. But it wants file name changing as wa901ndv4_tp_recovery.bin. (I had firmware update for V5 but i changed the name as V4. doesn't matter) I learned because of your trick that looking the Log Viewer.

Mine did everything yours did but went back to DD-WRT system when I put in default gateway IP. I have TPLink C9 V1, did everything you said.

This video applies to WR940N and many similar Tp-Link routers. The TPLink C9 V1 (I own two of them) is a different creature but you're in luck because I have a video on how to remove DD-WRT on that router too here For 1st Method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4abg6yNbZeNaK8 and if that does not work for you try this 2cnd Method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHmyf6uVrtelgdU Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

[@tokumeig654]

It's great instruction, but generally people changing from DD WRT to stock firmware are the ones who know about computers. Perhaps the instruction can be a bit more concise to speed things up. This type of things aren't exactly suitable for computer illiterate anyway, but this video seems to cater for them.

আরেকটা কথা আপনি কখনও OpenWRT ব্যবহার করে কোন যন্ত্র চালিয়েছেন? Why do you never use OpenWRT in any of your devices, though I haven't checked all of your videos?

[@richardlloydusa]

I like OpenWRT and have used it the past. For my purposes though I find DD-WRT to be adequate, stable, reliable, compatible, easy to work with, easy to upgrade and most of all easy to explain. I may do some OpenWRT videos as well as most of my hardware is supported by it and one of my routers, a Linksys EA8300 is NOT supported by DD-WRT and is supported by OpenWRT. More than likely I will shoot a video on upgrading that router with OpenWRT. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
