Tp link

Archer C7 V2 Archer C1900 V1 Touch P5 V1 Archer C2600 V1 
Archer C3200 V1 Archer C2 V1 Archer C5 V2 Archer C8 V1 Archer C9 V1 
TL-WR841N V11 TL-WDR3500 V1 TL-WR940N V3.0 TL-WR1043ND V3.0 TL-WR710N(USA) TL-WR841N V9.0 TP-Link TD-8980

• Chilling effect - Lockdown (FCC/EU)

We can confirm that we are able to flash the locked down firmware version onto a WR710N and then revert to a custom OpenWRT via TFTP recovery mode, but it does require serial access and soldering to the UART pins.
TP-Link sales has informed us that we can still purchase non-firmware locked hardware versions (sold outside the US and in Canada), but the minimum order quantity is 2000 units. This would represent a significant financial investment for anyone and isn’t really an option for us.
