Model: Archer A6  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version:

Hi All,

 

I have upgraded the firmware via the auto suggestions available , I saw there were some issue happened and it asked me to download manually and upgrade, I reboot the machine and after that I see all the light is ON but I could not able to web login via tplinkwifi.net or 192.168.0.1 anymore. 

 

Reset doesn't work either. 

 

What should be done next ? It's within 6 month of buy ? 

 

Any leads will be highly appreciated !!

 

 

Thanks

Please refer to this guide to do a firmware recovery via the web interface:

https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/1482/

 

If this still doesn't help, you can try the suggestions provided by other customers, which is resetting the router by following the 30 30 30 rule:

https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/176242

 

If none of these helps, you will need to contact the local tech support to check if this is still under warranty according to the warranty policy in your region.

@Pradipta 

 

Is your router a US version or EU version? Please show us the bottom label, cover the MAC and SN number for any security concerns.

 

Which firmware were you tried to upgrade to? Can we have the link for it?

 

You can refer to this story to see if you can upgrade the firmware again:

I have not noticed the FW version it was shown during the update as it from the browser notification in tiplinkwifi.net page. 

 

 

 

I want to flash the firmware from tftp, do we know the server IP to configure ? 

 

I saw few post saying how to do it using the reset button + power button. Can you help to tell on this. 

 

Want to know if this version support tftp firmware update. ??

If not what should we do now ? 

 

If I could do this then home it will work. 

 

Thanks,

Pradipta

@Kevin_Z 

 

While exploring , I have flashed the openwrt default image after following some YouTube as there is not much help on to link site or anywhere ,may he this router is new one.

 

But unfortunately, there is no gui to it as there is no internet ,I could not download luci package suggested .

 

I am stuck now. 

May be tftp boot will work, but I came to know this router support uboot upgrade in a different way ( no like holding reset 5 sec then switch on, which works in other routers from tplink) .

 

If you can tell how can I upgrate the FW using TFTP that will really help. 

 

My last option is to contact the support team. 

 

Thanks,

Pradipta
