Installation via WebUI is not possible anymore (Error 18005).

Use TFTP method instead

Currently there is no official Image for v11 that includes luci - use this found here

Guide for macOS

tftp is preinstalled - GUI is available.

GUI needs minor modifications to run on Sierra:

sudo chown root /Applications/TftpServer.app/Contents/MacOS/TftpServer
sudo chmod u+s /Applications/TftpServer.app/Contents/MacOS/TftpServer
sudo chown root /private/tftpboot

Set network settings for Ethernet to:

  • manual
  • IP: 192.168.0.66
  • Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
  • Router: 192.168.0.68

Start the TFTP Server and copy the bin file in /private/tftboot/wr841nv11_tp_recovery.bin

Connect router (LAN Port - not WAN Port) to Mac. Press reset button while powering the router.
