@Philbert 

Is there any news about an update for this device?

I've got the same issue with ER7212PC v1

My current firmware is: 1.0.2 Build 20230202 Rel.10719, which corresponds to Omada Controller 5.4.20.

And I can see on the tp-link website (https://www.tp-link.com/pl/support/download/er7212pc/#Firmware) that there have been at least 3 newer releases since this one.

The newest one at the moment of writing this is: "ER7212PC(UN)_V1_1.1.1 Build 20230901"

The currently installed version is missing many features.

I was also trying to download and install manually from the linked website, but then I got error "Invalid firmware file".

Anyone was able to workaround this issue?

I've got absolutely the same problem and cant solve it

I've managed to solve that after contacting the support - it requires logging to tp-link cloud (even temporarily, for the upgrade time) and upgrade only then.

Doesn't matter whether you do the online upgrade when the devide downloads the package itself, or you download yourself and use the upload button in the omada panel. In both cases logging to tp-link cloud on the device was required. After the upgrade I just disconnected from the cloud and it's fine.

  @wosiu Thanks for sharing!

It's a shame this information isn't mentioned in the manual :(

  @pepijndevos This year there's 4 or 5 update releases for the software controller and just 1 for this thing that we paid for. It's just unfair to see something like that. I am using the software on this device like it was back in 2005 compared to the software controller version. If it was a waste of money the have to tell me that and I will switch to Unifi.
