I just bought a TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 and got the v4.0 version. I
haven't found any image in
https://lede-project.org/toh/views/toh_fwdownload that claims it
features that version. I can see v1 and v2, but not v4.
Support for this board has just been merged:
https://git.lede-project.org/9887afb1afcf387f6892315413e610a6816df463
So, there is no support in 17.01 but snapshot images should work, and the
ToH at actually links to downloadable images :)

Hmm... Broken link.
I took v4 at the end, but I couldn't get the webUI. The device did
respond to SSH though.
I tried to sysupgrade back to the stock firmware, but I screwed it up
apparently.
Now it doesn't even boot. Leds blink a bit and shut down immediately.
Seems like it is a brick now :(
Snapshot images don't have webUI, you need to install it from ssh (so
that part was normal).
Snapshot images also have other limitations (you can't install
driver-related packages after a few days and you need to do a full
upgrade first, or use the Image Builder to integrate all packages in the
firmware, see the wiki
https://lede-project.org/docs/user-guide/imagebuilder )
That said, most modern routers have a bootloader with a recovery mode
you can use to send over another firmware image for it to reflash. If
you did not hose the first blocks of the onboard flash, the bootloader
is still alive and you should be able to recover the router without
factory flashing tools.
The v2 version of that router seems to have it (should be the same or at
least very similar to yours, imho), see here
https://mikepalmer.net/tp-link-archer-c7-ac1750-v2-tftp-recovery/
or google around for similar instructions for your device. (the "Make
the router think its getting a normal recovery firmware" part is
renaming the openwrt factory flash firmware into the name the recovery
is looking for)
If you don't know how to set up a tftp server, see the wiki here
