In case the original firmware needs to be restored. Firmware for the MR3220 V2.2 can be found here, select the most recent version (this guide uses TL-MR3220_V2_130423.zip
):
http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/?model=TL-MR3220&version=V2
OpenWRT has a page for the MR3220: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3420#mr3220.v2.x
At the time of writing (Sep. 2013), the MR3220 V2.2 requires works with the trunk version of OpenWRT only. For a fresh install, use the factory image:
(For an upgrade (of OpenWRT?) use the sysupgrade image: http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3220-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin)
Connect your computer to one of the LAN ports of the MR3220 and obtain an IP address via DHCP. Your Address should be something like 192.168.0.XXX
, if the router is running TP-LINK firmware.
Reset factory defaults navigate to System Tools > Factory Defaults and clicking on Restore.
Install OpenWRT navigating to System Tools > Firmware Upgrade, upload openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3220-v2-squashfs-factory.bin-factory.bin.
Wait for the upgrade to finish.
After the upgrade has finished, obtain a new IP address from the router.
The MR3220 works with the trunk version of OpenWRT only, trunk has no web interface preinstalled. Login via telnet:
telnet 192.168.1.1
Set the password for root, you will need to type your new password two times:
passwd root
This will disable access to the router via telnet, use SSH from now on to access the MR3220:
The trunk version of OpenWRT has no web interface preinstalled.
Make sure the router can connect to the internet. Then, update the list of packages with:
opkg update
And install LuCi with:
opkg install luci-ssl
In addition to luci-ssl
, luci-theme-openwrt
(or any other theme, opkg list luci-theme-*
) must be installed, or the web interface will complain that no themes could be found:
opkg install luci-theme-openwrt
Start and enable the uhttpd
web server (enabling it will start uhttpd
automatically after each reboot):
/etc/init.d/uhttpd start && /etc/init.d/uhttpd enable
See if the web interface is working pointing your browser to http://192.168.1.1/.
Not enough space to install LuCi
