TP-Link TL-WR1043N v5 appears to be identical to the TL-WR1043ND v4,
except that the USB port has been removed and there is no longer a
removable antenna option. It also has different partitioning scheme.
The software is more in line with the Archer series in that it uses a
nested bootloader scheme.

Installation on HW rev.5:
Factory firmware can be installed via the WEB interface.
Alternatively, it is also possible to use a TFTP server
for recovery purposes:
- Rename OpenWRT or original firmware to WR1043v5_tp_recovery.bin
- Set static IP of your PC to *192.168.0.66*
- Router will obtain IP 192.168.0.86 for a few seconds while
loading, when reset button pressed at power On.
And finally, there's always u-boot access through the UART.
