TP-Link MR3040 firmware install with MacBook
Posted: 16 May 2016, 05:17
I'm using a MacBook Pro to install OpenWrt on a TP-Link MR3040 V2, but so far without success, following web page instructions and video tutorial. The MacBook has no network connections except Ethernet to MR3040. Several attempts to access MR3040 OpenWrt web interface by entering http://192.168.0.1 in web browser (Safari) have failed. Checked System Preferences > Network and find Ethernet status is Connected with Self-Assigned IP. The video tutorial illustrates a workaround in Windows, but I do not know how to translate to a procedure that works within OS X. Default for Configure IPv4 is "Using DHCP". I've tried to configure manually, but without success. It would help if I actually knew what I was doing. Anyone succeed in programing the MR3040 in OS X? What's the exact procedure?
