I  know nothing about this firmware so i ws looking for some help

I have a tp link WR841N v9  router

And im looking to put the open wrt fw on it

Ki want to try these two algorthyms   fq codel  and sqm cake

It seems my router cant get the new open wrt with lede but im not sure

So does all open wrt firmware  have fq codel and sqm cake

Or is it the firmware with lede in its name

I would highly recommend people to experiment with Openwrt. There are many good features and imo if one wants to really battle buffer bloat that is where I would start. Its always good to have an open mind about other options. There is no one superior firmware. And what was good one day is already being improved the next. 

Zippy.

LEDE merged with OpenWRT .  LEDE kept their forum page but the firmaware's name is OpenWRT. It's excactly the same thing.

I've tested it extensively. I've also tested Gargoyle and DD-WRT. 

My opinion is (that for us gamers) DD-WRT is the king.

Thank you n3cro  zippy  sgt greco

Sgt greco i was hoping you would join in on this topic

As ive seen your name on these forums for a few years a when i was searching info on open  wrt forums

Im pretty sure i seen your name in there  

Does ddwrt have algorthyms  like cake and fq codel

As im pretty sure that if i download open wrt that version dosent have sqm

As what i was reading the tp link wr841n  only has 4mb of ram so its not enough space to run it 

But i new to this so im not sure

Cake no. It has SFQ, codel and fq_codel.

In OpenWRT, SQM is not embedded in the firmware once you install it. You have to manualy download it as an extra script from the OpenWRT's database.

It's true that OpenWRT is now more resource demanding thus your machine will suffer. 

Also keep in mind that OpenWRT will not provide you (by default) throttling or priority per IP so you have to achieve it with custom comands, something very difficult unless you are good with linux  and networking. I'm not, so I try to avoid it.

Cake is more like a fair share of bandwidth to all devices. But as a gamer I assume you don't care about Bandwidth Fairness and Network Democracy but Strict Dictatorship 😊, right?  It's me and all the other stuff.

For all of the above reasons, I'd suggest DD-WRT. Light and easy. Here is an emulator if you want to play around.

Best of luck

Don't worry. Even if you bricked it I think the tftpd method will bring it back. I've done it many times. I suspect you installed the image without the luci interface (GUI). Probably your firmware is installed but you can't access it. Try to ping it and see if it responds. 

As I feel this is going to be a long thread, feel free to DM me with the procedure you followed. If it is OK with the rest of the community keep posting here.

So far what i think is i downloaded the sqaush factory bin

Witch was meant to be for my version v9 

But it does say  it might make the gui not load

 as far as i read it has luci in the image  thats why it wont load the gui because router only has 4mb ram  so its to big image

Atm i ve downloaded putty im just learning how to use tha

t is there any other telnet programe i can use that i can use that i can copy and paste with

Because  i cant with putty 

It seems im goona be tpying a load of code ide rather copy n paste it

So far   i typed root to get into  roter in putty

Then typed in ssh [email protected]

Then i typed in  opkg update

Then i typed in opkg install luci

But it fails here 

So im trying to find out wht to do next  

Cheers for the help

You can paste any command in putty. You don't have to write it. Be very careful what you type. Linux is case sensitive. Also in your

commands there are two spaces in between words and wrong spelling. The IP is wrong too. It won't work. 

Are you sure you have Internet through your TP-LINK?
