Hi Kevin,
can you confirm if a OneMesh ON/OFF switch button was implemented in the newly released FW for Archer C64 (v1.11.0 ) ?
Is the port range forwarding feature included as well (previously introduced in the beta FW) ?
@terziyski Thank you so much for reminding me of the new official release for Archer C64.
As far as I can confirm, the new official firmware has supported setting a port range when doing Port Forwarding, while it doesn't add the Onemesh ON/OFF option yet.
I will update my post for this update to remind others who care about this issue now. Thank you again.
Hi Kevin,
A new FW release is available for Archer C64 as well - Archer C64(EU)_V1_1.11.30 Build 220624
Can you confirm if this release has the OneMesh ON/OFF button ?

@terziyski Thank you very much again for bringing this up. We just confirmed that Archer C80(US)_V1_1.11.30 Build 220624 has already added the Onemesh ON/OFF switch, which has been confirmed also by @alex_m_, thanks a lot. So this Archer C64(EU)_V1_1.11.30 Build 220624 should also add the Onemesh ON/OFF now.

I am on the latest release as mentioned below.
Firmware Version:
1.11.0 Build 220425 Rel.43193n(4555)
Hardware Version:
Archer C80 1.0
I still do not have a port range forward option. This is really important when the required port is not fixed all the time. Really need a solution for this issue.
Here are a few Screenshots which may help.
Also note a factory reset would not be an option.
I do not have any new update as mentioned here 1.11.30 Build 220624 Rel.50807n(5553)
Also the available update on the website is the one that I am currently on.
It looks like my device is on EU region and for the US region there is an update and the last build is indeed 1.11.30 Build 220624 Rel.50807n(5553) would it be safe for me to manually update to this firmware version?

Thank you for posting and requesting a solution for opening a port range on the Archer C80.
I have updated my original post with beta firmware for Archer C80(EU) 1.0, please download and install it on your device, then confirm if you can open a port range.

I set up my C80 1.0 (EU) yesterday, upgraded the firmware and am now facing the same problem of not being able to leave the internal port blank for a range of ports.
I have downloaded the beta firmware in your original post, but there is an error that prevents it from being installed.
Is there a newer beta firmware which fixes this?

I received a mail from tp link support with a link to firmware A8v1-up-noboot_2022-08-08_18.13.00.
After triple checking that it wasn't a phishing mail, I upgraded my router and now the port forwarding works correctly, thanks!
