Region : UnitedStates

Model : TL-R600VPN

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version : 1.2.1 Build 130831 Rel.63039n

ISP : Comcast


So, I upgraded my TP-R600VPN firmware from version TL-R600VPN_V1_130216 to 1.2.1 Build 130831 Rel.63039n, and now the router tells me that it is hardware version R600VPN v2 00000000. Before I updated the firmware, the hardware version was shown as R600VPN v1 00000000.

So, should I now switch over and install the firmware that's listed on the 600VPN VERSION 2 page? There's three newer firmware versions since the latest for v1.

Thanks for any help....

I queried with the TP-LINK guys about this problem, they told me that there's no limit for the firmwares for V1 and V2 on this model.
So you can upgrade to the latest firmware on V2 page.
