Model: TL-WR841N_EU  
Hardware Version: V14
Firmware Version: 180319

Hello.

 

I just updated router and got a boot loop.

 

I also tried with recovery method TFTP and custom IP address to flash firmware but without any success always is a boot loop.

 

I tried:

https://www.tp-link.com/no/support/download/tl-wr841n/#Firmware and 

https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/tl-wr841n/#Firmware

 

Is there any other firmware or am I missing something?

 

Kind regards and have a great day.

 

Johnny

Hello, thanks for the detailed information.

 

This TL-WR841N(TPD) seems a customized version for the local market, which means the firmware of the router might be restricted and not allowed to upgrade to the generic version.

 

We have reported the issue to the support engineers, they will likely reach out to you via email to continue to troubleshoot your issue.

@Evil 

 

Can I have a detailed symptom about the boot loop issue after the router firmware update? You may take a short video, thanks.

 

Are you still using the original power adapter that came with the router? Try to do hard reset by referring to the guide: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/497/.

 

You can also check if the TFTP firmware recovery helps or not, here is the guidence:

@Kevin_Z 

video enclosed.  
the adapter is original.  

I tried to flash and reset the settings to the factory settings, it does not help, the firmware is poured through tftp, but I cut out all the available firmware with a "boot" through a hex editor

Sorry to hear that the TFTP firmware recovery doesn't help. 

 

When did you purchase this router? You may contact the local tech support to confirm if it is still in warranty:
