How to flash OpenWrt over DD-WRT on a tp-link 703n router?

Question

Network administration

There is a TP-Link 703n router running DD-WRT, I want to flash it on Open WRT. Got a question. as? Through the DD-WRT web interface, is it possible or necessary to roll back to the factory "Chinese"?

Answer 1

It is better to roll back to your native one and then roll openwrt.

Answer 2

I understand the necropost, but the story should have a logical conclusion. It is quite possible to switch directly from DD-WRT to OpenWRT, without rolling back to stock. Due to the narrow specialization of this router, it makes sense to use a ready-made assembly with modem support, USB and a Luci graphical interface. (I took it here ).
Transition order:
1) Activate SSH on DD-WRT.
2) Using WinSCP (or any other client via the SCP protocol), we drop the Openwrt image (factory version, not sysupgrade) into the tmp folder. It is desirable to shorten the name of the image as much as possible, I usually shorten it to openwrt.bin
3) Next, with any ssh client, for example putty, we connect to the router and enter the username and password. You set the login and password in advance in the dd-wrt settings.
4) We type the command cd / tmp and press Enter
5) We type the command mtd write openwrt.bin linux and press Enter.
6) Type the reboot command and press Enter.
7) We drink tea with cookies and wait for OpenWRT to load.
