Change language to English on Archer A6 purchased in Taiwan

2020-04-06 03:19:52

Model: Archer A6

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hello all,

I bought this router in Taiwan:

https://www.tp-link.com/tw/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-a6/

It works great. The only problem is that I'd like the management console language to be English. The default firmware doesn't seem to provide any options to select language.

I tried install the compatible US firmware as well from here:

https://static.tp-link.com/2019/201912/20191216/Archer%20A6(US)_V2_191112.zip

The firmware apparently goes thru, but I still don't see anything in English. Is there a way to solve this?

To Archer management: It is possible that customers buy a product in a particular region, but want another language. In 2020, why is this so hard?

@electronicsguy

What is the current system language of the Archer A6?

As far as I know, the US firmware uses English, while the TW firmware uses traditional Chinese. Can you see the language option on the web UI of Archer A6? Please show us a screenshot of the status page.

Good day.

Currently its Chinese. There is no drop-down option to select a language, that's what this thread is all about. Wondering why in 2020, that is so hard?

The only reason I can think of is you just don't want any language selection there on purpose, though I fail to understand why? How will it harm your business?
