I do not know how you tried to install it. On this site you have LEDE images (newer project from OpenWRT): https://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01.0/targets/ar71xx/generic/
There are three images for WR841Nv11, try to put one into your box, for sure go back to the manufacturer's software and install LEDE from the Configuration Menu.

I wanted to upload with the luCl interface, when I uploaded I typed 192.168.1.1 in the browser. There was no GUI interface the broadcaster rejected the connection to log in.

Vytautas_YT · Answer

So you do not have access to the GUI at all now? And through Telnet, SSH? Does the ping answer?

piotrek751 · Answer

He responds to ping Added after 2 [minutes]: You can not connect via telnet

Vytautas_YT · Answer

And is it visible as AP via WiFi? [Edit] Try your buddy yet connect via SSH (via putty, e.g.). Out of curiosity, I've now put OpenWRT on WR841 only v9 and will not let in SSH after the Telnet launch.

piotrek751 · Answer

No it is not visible but internet access is via lan

Added after 5 [minutes]:

I putty in the program, I logged in as root

I entered two commands opkg update later, opkg install luci-ssl

and now something is just still not like the interface

Vytautas_YT · Answer

And you turned on what you installed? I do not know how now, but when I was still having fun with Luci, after the installation, I had to fire the commands:
/etc/init.d/uhttpd enable
/etc/init.d/uhttpd start

And you are sure that the package is called luci-ssl?

piotrek751 · Answer

After entering the opkg update command After entering the command opkg install luci Added after 4 [minutes]: After entering /etc/init.d/uhttpd enable /etc/init.d/uhttpd start

Vytautas_YT · Answer

You can not fit Luci, the installer throws a message about too little memory available.

piotrek751 · Answer

So why the videos are shown and it is possible to upload the firmware from what he writes in the data about hardware, all versions of this router are to remember 4MB.

Added after 2 [minutes]:

I was able to upload to it other dd-wrt firmware I wanted to change, because in this firmware there is not even a logout button.

Vytautas_YT · Answer

It may Gargoyle throw him on him. I do not like the DD-WRT personally either.

piotrek751 · Answer

I am trying to upload gargoyle, but tp-link does not find the file with the firmware

Added after 32 [minutes]:

I changed the name to a shorter one and succeeded. How to embed Polish into this firmware?

Vytautas_YT · Answer

It can be downloaded in the System-> Package package with the PL language but there is nowhere in the GUI language changes. There is also Gargoyle-PL by Obsy but WR841Nv11 does not exist, unless I did not find it. And what about a distro from Luci, did you check LEDE? I just fired on WR841Nv9 because I have one at hand and Luci is in this picture.

piotrek751 · Answer

I tried it does not work, the same displays in the terminals as before on the screns

piotrek751 · Answer

I tried to install according to this video I will not install only gargoyle and dd-wrt.

piotrek751 · Answer

I've installed it, it works. All the time I tried to install openwrt luci instead of lede. I just downloaded the image from the link with the software and it works, the problem is solved. Thank you for helping me. 28
