Kevin - can you please let us know if TP-Link plans on releasing updated firmware for the C5400 v2 United States version??  I am having the same "half-speed gigabit" problem that others are having.  Thank you . . .

Hello, I checked again, and the download link is valid. 

 

You will get the bin file once you unpacked it.

Hello, the Archer C5400 V2 shares the same firmware version, you can also install the firmware attached to my reply and take some time to test its performance. 

 

May it help.

Kevin,

 

Are you saying that the US and EU firmware versions are the exact same for the C5400 V2?? I can install the EU firmware on my US router?  I had always thought that the firmware was region specific.

Yes, you are right, the firmware was region-specific. And we recommend you customers to update/downgrade the firmware from the local TP-Link official website of the purchase location for your TP-Link device. 

 

While the Archer C5400 V2 is special. The EU and US share the same version, you can install it on your router to give it a go first. 

 

Any updates, be free to let us know. 

 

Good day.

@Kevin_Z 

 

Thank you very much for the information about the C5400 V2 Kevin.  I do have a question (or request if you will) . . . .

 

Since this appears to be a unique situation where the router is capable of having either the US or EU firmware version installed would it not be a good idea to also publish this information on the TP-Link US website and forum??  There have been numerous posts from US users that have this router and are experiencing this "half-gigabyte" problem and this would undoubtably help them.

 

May I suggest that TP-Link put this firmware on their US download site and also post a message on the US forums that it is available.  I understand that the C5400 is considered "end-of-life" by TP-Link but making the dowload available on the US support website would go a long way in generating good will among Tp-Link's users.

 

Thanks again for your help . . .
