  @Joseph-TP 

Where can I find the version? Can I possibly update to version 2?

Hi,

 

The hardware version of your TX401 should be printed on a serial number sticker on the network card itself as well as on the retail box.
Look for something in the format "UN/2.0" or "Ver:1.0".

 

As far as I can tell, both the TX401 V1 and V2 should be using the Marvell AQC107 chip and therefore also the same driver.

 

Also, be sure not to mix up the terms "firmware" and "driver", because in this case Marvell provides firmware updates as well as driver updates, but these two are different things.

Hi@bushidostia ,

Thanks for getting back.

 

If you want to learn about the model and hardware version of your device, you can refer to:

How to find the model number of your TP-Link device 

How to find the hardware version on a TP-Link device

 

Generally speaking, even if the differences between different hardware versions of a product are minor, we still recommend downloading the driver for the corresponding hardware version.
Small differences can cause device malfunctions.

 

Best Regards.
