[Commotion-admin] [commotion-router] Build and test image for TP-Link WDR842ND router (#141)

[radurambet]

i was so busy lately , but what i managed to do is to get 842ND v1 and V1.1 working

In fact the router works flawless . There is a BUT:  
I made a small change to /etc/config/network and replaced eth0 with eth1. 
The config file in the image is not working due to a mistake. The WAN port for this router is eth1 not eth0 for that reason the router is unable to get IP address if you configure it as gateway.

I was using it as a test mesh node without gateway (internet) access . 

Yesterday i looked into it a little bit more and realized that there is this mistake in the config file. I don't know if the config file is automatically generated or not but if you make this small change it will work flawless. 

And there is more. If you change /etc/config/wireless and add =>option noscan '1'  and replace htmode 20HT with htmode '40HT+' or minus it will mesh wit 300 mbps . 

For 20 EUR i guess this router is great.

I bought a bunch of them from local classifieds website as I also needed v1 & v1.1 since these are out of stock and you cannot buy them as new.
