Installing DDserver on MR3040 with existing OpenWrt

Post by paulvkieu »

Installed OpenWrt firmware on my MR3040 v 2.4...I didn't do the ddserver version. Any suggestions on what the next step could be? I would google this, but I only have a superficial knowledge of what's going on and don't want to brick the thing. Any help would be appreciated.

You should upgrade the MR3040 firmware by following this guide: http://dslrdashboard.info/tp-link-mr304 ... e-upgrade/
using the sysupgrade image for V2 from here: http://dslrdashboard.info/downloads/

Perfect. Tried flashing that with the upgrade DDserver firmware. It changed the SSID to DDserverAP of course. However, when I connect with my phone, it's unable to connect. Using Nikon D3s and Nikon D4s with ethernet or USB on both cameras. Still nothing.

Actually, the OSX app works. I'm having trouble connecting with iOS apps on iPad and iPhone.

Connect he DSLR with USB to the MR3040 and turn it on
Pair your iOS device wireless with the MR3040 wireless
Start qDD and press the 'Network' button, it should find the connected camera
If that does not work long press the 'Network' button and enter 192.168.1.1 as IP and press the 'Connect' button.
