Hi,
I found your project and thought i'd have a go though i'm currently a bit stuck and wondering if anyone has any ideas as to where i'm going wrong.
To start, I got a WR703N V1.7, the problem one so after a lot of trial an error I eventually found the following link
http://www.shadowandy.net/2015/03/flashing-tp-link-tl-wr703n-v1-7-to-openwrt.htm
This enabled me to flash a standard Openwrt image onto the device. So far so good.
Next I downloaded http://stable.openwrt.piratebox.de/auto/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin and the http://stable.openwrt.piratebox.de/auto/install_piratebox.zip, followed the instructions and put them on the usb stick (Sandisk Blade 32gb), Yes I unzipped the install_piratebox.zip to the install folder.
Uploaded the firmware to the router via the web interface, waited for it to reboot, waited about an hour then telent'd into the device. The blue light on the front is flashing constantly.
When I logged onto telnet it had not mounted the USB drive so I mounted it to test it could access it by using mount /dev/sda /mnt/usb this let me access the files on the drive.
I then ran box_installer.sh manually, the process kept getting stuck at the USB stage, output below.
/bin/box_installer.sh : executing run_test
/bin/box_installer.sh : Testing requirements...
/bin/box_installer.sh : .. USB storage modules available
/bin/box_installer.sh : extendRoot package is installed
/bin/box_installer.sh : Trying to find next step
/bin/box_installer.sh : executing run_signaling_extendRoot_start
/bin/box_installer.sh: line 178: can't create /sys/class/leds/*wlan/trigger: nonexistent directory
/bin/box_installer.sh : Trying to find next step
/bin/box_installer.sh : executing run_prepare_extendRoot
/bin/box_installer.sh : configure initi step for extendRoot
/bin/box_installer.sh : Trying to find next step
/bin/box_installer.sh : executing run_init_extendRoot
Please connect USB disk. If it is already plugged-in,
wait for a few seconds, and if nothing happens, please
reconnect the device. Keep in mind that your router's
ports may not be able to supply enough power to
spin-up a USB HDD.
...............
If anyone has any ideas or if i'm missing something i'd be very appreciative of any feedback.
Thanks in advance for any help
