Did you try factory image but with changed filename (sometimes TP-Link 
web gui doesn't accept files with long name)?

What kind of error are you getting with LEDE factory image?

BTW. It seems that TP-Link already released v13 version of this device 
in Europe but this time it's (surprise!) MediaTek (MT7628?) based.

Can you use here $(Device/tl-wr841-v11) instead and then overwrite only 
two variables which are different: DEVICE_TITLE and TPLINK_HWID?
