HOWTO : DD-WRT on TP-Link TL-WR1043ND TP-Link TL-WR1043ND comes with 1 Gigabit WAN and 4 Gigabit LAN as well as 1 USB port. The USB port is for storage purpose. It is a 300Mbps N Wireless router. This router can flash to DD-WRT to enhance its features. One interested thing is that it can support 3.5G USB modem after flashing to DD-WRT. As far as I know, it supports Hauwei 3.5G modem only. After flashed to DD-WRT, your router can act as a VPN server. It also supports WDS.

Step 1 :

Do BAD things .... for the RIGHT reasons -- OWASP ZAP

Download the DD-WRT for this router. Beware, other version of DD-WRT does not work on this router; otherwise, your router will be bricked.

While you do not know attack, how can you know about defense? ( , ?)

The current version of DD-WRT at the time of this writing for this router is V24 preSPs2 r14144. If you are the first time to flash the router (not upgrading), download the file "factory-to-ddwrt.bin". If you are upgrading the DD-WRT of this router, download the file "tl-wr1043nd-webflash.bin" instead. IF YOU WANT TO UPGRADE TO NEWER VERSION OF DD-WRT, THIS TUTORIAL IS USELESS!

Step 2 : Connect the router and computer via the LAN port. Point your browser to http://192.168.1.1. Enter "admin" for username and password.

Step 3 : Flash the DD-WRT firmware from the official webpage as usual. DO NOT UNPLUG THE CABLE AND SWITCH OFF THE COMPUTER AS WELL AS ROUTER WHEN FLASHING THE FIRMWARE.

** Beware, I did not try this Step 6 myself. Or, your router will be bricked. ** **IMPORTANT** Make sure the SSH and Telnet are disabled on the flashed dd-wrt router; otherwise, you will be hacked. That's all! See you. Already a member? Sign in
