Model: TL-WPA8631P KIT  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 2.2.3.32--00_863313_191111_901

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to update my WPA8631P device due to it's not connecting to my AX20 Mesh, but both the BETA file I found on here, as well as selecting TP Link United Kingdom, the firmware on that site also downloads a .bin file but yet TP PLC software says I need NVM and PIB files?

 

Much appreciated.

@Koyakami For anyone else with this issue - Download the required firmware, plug the device into your machine via network cable, access the dashboard via http://tplinkplc.net and then login, update the firmware this way.

 @Solla-topee It doesn't appear as you have read my issue?

 

However I can't get on the web management page due to it's named the same as my current WiFi network. So I'm using the TP PLC app, which doesn't allow me to upload .bin - I need the other 2 files instead.

 

I've tried resetting the device but I must be doing it wrong.
