 Unlike many newer TP-Link devices, there appears to be no hardware differences between the version for the Chinese market and the version for the international market.
 It was the first device that utilised the AR9331 chipset to be ported to OpenWrt. Newer TP-Link devices (such as the TL-WR741ND v4.x also use AR9331).
-===== Warnings / Gotchas =====
-{{:meta:icons:tango:48px-dialog-warning.svg.png?nolink}} **WARNING: It has been [[https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=40986 | reported]] that models shipped with a recent factory firmware onboard come with a new bootloader revision which disables the LAN port at boot. **
-** __A fix has NOT YET been implemented in trunk.__ **
-Please check the firmware version first, either:
-  * in the Chinese webadmin interface: "Build 120925" correspond to a v1.7 firmware
-  * on the internal sticker located on the Ethernet jack
-  * ** DO NOT RELY ON THE VERSION GIVEN BY THE EXTERNAL STICKER ON CASE BOTTOM ** : it may report falsely "1.6", even if the firmware is actually a V1.7
-** We are working on a workaround for routers loaded with the newer firmware, to restore old bootloader BEFORE flashing openwrt. **
-** But in the meantime __If you have a V1.7 firmware, do not flash OpenWrt, unless you have access to the serial console!__ **
-Below is the version of the new bootloader (which disables the LAN port) of a version 1.7 hardware model (bought in December 2012).
