The command only replaces the firmware part.

Yes, we should be careful about replacing u-boot as the 1.7 u-boot is not exactly third party firmware friendly.

Will this overwrite the u-boot or does the dd-wrt firmware include u-boot? It seems that we should be concerned of u-boot every time we upgrade.

For the U-Boot replacement, get pepe2k’s openwrt firmware (with writable U-Boot partition and U-Boot image). It is much simpler.

I finally found a forum about switching from openwrt to dd-wrt on the 703n. They followed the instructions on the website that you provided Andy. Unfortunately it seems that only some people had luck with it and the rest bricked their routers. I may give u-boot a try. Thanks.

If you need to reset or upgrade the OpenWrt you can maybe consider the u-boot, I replaced it with the one mod for 703N from pepe2k and it works like a charm.

The dd-wrt wiki has documented the process of changing from OpenWrt to dd-wrt (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_from_openwrt). You can check out dd-wrt forum to see if anybody has done it specifically for TP-Link TL-WR703N.

Thanks so much for the guide. You saved me a lot of trouble. Now that I have openwrt flashed is there an easy way to flash dd-wrt or would i have to do this process all over again with different perameters?

Thanks for the help. Man contacted me on my email sometime back and we managed to solve it. It was more of a settings issue like what you have pointed out.
