 Version 4.x and above utilise the AR9331 chipset (Confirmed on UK v4.3 model). Chinese models may differ - TP-Link appear to have started using vxWorks and reducing the flash to 2MB and RAM to 16MB on some of their newer versions for the Chinese market.
+===== Power characteristics =====
+  *  Rotuer consumes between 0.5W and 1W, depending on the power supply voltage and load.
+  * The power adapter is rated 9V @ 0.6A . The router can be powered from a battery.
+  * V4.3 version of the router contains an MP1482DS step down voltage regulator, with the voltage range from 4.75V to 18V. This are absolute maximum ratings, other components might not be able to widstand such a range. 5V to 15V should be a safe range (don't try this on other versions that V4.3 if you aren't sure)

[e]Failed to erase block"**// after flashing via the mtd command , do not reboot or shutdown or you will brick your device! In tp-link site they say that if you have 110825 you should update to 111130 before upgrading to 120320, so it could be better to restore to 110914 and then upgrade "gradually" as they say.
+{{:meta:icons:tango:48px-emblem-important.svg.png?nolink |Important!}} The latest TP-Link firmware wr741nv4_en_3_12_11_up(120320).bin doesn't have the word 'boot' in it. However, the 120320 firmware has also the bootloader (bigger file, 4063744 vs 3932160, it's 131584 bytes larger, equals to 0x20200 in hex, the amount you have to trim when flashing those files as described in wiki!) They used to add the word "boot" in the filename, now you have to pay attention to the file size.
