## Flashing from Web GUI

Flashing instructions listed below were tested with TP-WR841N ver 8, with original firmware version 3.13.33.

1. Reset to factory default state (don't really know if it's required, but definitely won't do any harm).

3. Navigate to _System Tools -> Firmware Upgrade_ and provide factory bin file. Press Upgrade to perform flash.
4. After router is flashed and restarted make sure to stop NetworkManager service (might not be required, but I couldn't access libreCMC web interface without stopping it).
5. Go to 192.168.10.1 and login with default credentials (root/root).
6. Navigate to _System-> Backup/Flash Firmware_ and in "Flash new firmware image" section provide sysupgrade bin file. Press Flash image to perform flash.
