Model: Archer MR402  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Dear TP-Link Support Team,


I recently noticed what appears to be a discrepancy between the web-based emulator/simulator provided for the TP-Link MR402 and the actual firmware available for this router.
The emulator seems to be based on a firmware version that I have not been able to find or download for the MR402. In addition, several menu items and interface elements differ from those present in the firmware currently available on my device.
Because of these differences, I would like to ask for clarification:
Is the emulator using a firmware version that is actually available for the MR402?
If such a firmware version exists, could you please let me know where it can be downloaded?
If the emulator does not reflect a real firmware version for this model, would it be possible to update the emulator so that it accurately represents the firmware currently available to MR402 users?
I would appreciate any information you can provide regarding this matter.

 

Furthermore, I would like to note that the emulator cannot be found for the MR402 model using the search function on the TP-Link emulator page https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/emulator/

 

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hi,
The emulator is a virtual web GUI where you can experience the TP-Link product management panel. The features displayed are for reference only and may differ slightly from the actual router's web UI.

 

The firmware listed in the router's emulator may not be available for the router. For example, 1.6.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 251123 Rel.56432n listed on the emulator https://emulator.tp-link.com/MR402(EU)%201.0/index.htm does not exist.
Regarding your feedback to update the emulator on our official website, I'll record it and forward it to the relevant team for evaluation.

 

The Archer MR402 is not available on the page https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/emulator/, possibly because the router does not sell in the US.

 

Best Regards
