Model: Archer AX72  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.6 Build 20240619 rel.72016(4555)

Hi,

 

I am in the UK and have 3 AX72s setup in a router -> easy mesh config (i.e. 2 of them are the easy mesh nodes).

 

I noticed that my router is showing:

 

 

 

I tried clicking update before and it went through the whole "downloading" and then post that it briefly said "can't download" and then the router seemed to go offline.. 

I thought, maybe it its a weird glitch, so I carried on for a bit, however after 30 minutes it was not back up / working.

 

So I have just manually connected a PC to the main router (after disconnecting everything else) and rebooted it, this has resolved it and it is back up.

 

The question is - as I can't find any direct links to 1.4.1 or even a reference to it... is this a glitch that I am even being offered it?

 

Thanks

I've got the AX72 v1.0 and I updated mine a couple of days ago to 1.4.1, I note that the UK TP link website has not been updated yet with this firmware version.

 

I did my upgrade via the tether app, maybe try that?

 

Cheers

Hello @Tail_uk ,

Welcome to our community.

 

Please confirm that your router is successfully accessing the cloud normally. That is, you can remotely manage the router through the app.

Or, you can temporarily turn off the satellite routers. Then update the main router separately to see if it can work.

 

Best Regards.

Hi@klipse ,

Sure,you can try the App to update the firmware.

As for the firmware link synchronization on the official website, I will feedback to the relevant departments to follow up on the synchronization in a timely manner.

Thanks for your feedback.

  @Joseph-TP 

Thanks

 

I had tried to update it via the local connection (pc connected via ethernet), but that is what failed. 

 

I have just tried klipse suggestion of using the tether app and it worked perfectly.. I think because of the easy-mesh it took a little longer to reboot than the timer, but only by 1 minute. 

 

I am now on the latest firmware :)

 

Thanks

Hi  @Tail_uk ,

I am so glad to hear that you can update the firmware at last.

Please enjoy the network from the router!
