 The point about these boards requiring a lot of modification to be useful is simply not
true.I have a TP-Link tl-wr841n-v11 running the master branch with kernel 4.14 with
luci and sqm-scripts + miniupnpd with no problem at all.
The only change I had to do was disable IPv6 and the opkg package from the build
imageresulting in the final image size of 3.8M
For reference I have attached .config that I use.
