TL-WR1043ND - UniFi Beta Firmware & Setup

 

Generally, the setup is similar to TL-WR841ND, please refer HERE for more details.

Before you proceed further, please read and make sure you fully understand that:

  1. The device I've tested is based on TL-WR1043ND Ver:1.8 on Huawei HG850a ,please read below for more feedback & confirmation from others.
  2. The beta firmware is made available on an As-Is basis, you are permitted to use it for testing and training purposes only, I shall not be liable for any damages cause to your device either before, during or after flashing the beta firmware.
  3. Except for other 3rd party firmware (eg, OpenWRT, DD-WRT), your device should still cover under warranty if you brick it accidentally after flashing with the beta firmware.
  4. Since this is not an official release, manufacturer may or may not response or patch immediately, I'll do my best to forward request, but no guarantee.
  5. I've personally tested it without any issues, before you start flooding my email, please do your part to spend some time to go through, check & re-check everything again, it should work just fine !
  6. If you prefer easier and faster setup, you may choose to restore the default setup file (below), make sure you read and understand the "ReadMe" file first!

Known issues:

  1. Based on my test, after plug-in the external USB2 HDD, it can detect, but the device's name won't show up under Network browsing.  The work around is to enter the device's IP manually (eg: \\192.168.1.1\ ) then the share folder will show up.
  2. .
