This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I want to upgrade the firmware of my repeater RE215 to be able to use the easymesh functionality but when I try to do the manual upgrade it gives me an error and stops, I have tried all the firmware versions that are in the download section:
https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/re215/#Firmware
and all of them fail in the upgrade attempt, I would appreciate if you could help sending me a version that does not present an error.

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.
I sent a beta firmware for RE215_v1 and please check whether it could be updated to this version first, then to 1.0.11 later.
Wait for your reply and best regards.

Hi, thanks for the reply
I have to mention that I did the test with the beta version file that you sent me by private message, unfortunately I still have the same Error (Failed to upgrade the firmware. Please check the configuration file and try again.
) as in my previous posts.
I did the procedure with the factory restored repeater, connected by cable to my laptop, using the browser Chrome and selecting the beta firmware .bin file. I don't understand what could be happening, would there be a way to check the integrity of the firmware when I unzip it?

I have tried each of the suggested ways with each of the firmwares ( downloaded from the official links, the links shared here in the thread, and with the beta firmware shared by @David-TP : Wireless from the mobile (two different mobile phones both with Android and a Huawei tablet with ArmonyOS) with the mobile browser and/or desktop toggle active, even renaming the file to the way you suggested in a previous post.
Wirelessly with the laptop (windows) and the browser (chrome and edge)
Wired with the laptop (with different cables from the different tp link devices purchased) the same as above.
Is there a way to upgrade via console? maybe i could try force by command

Update：
This Article Applies to:
RE215_V1/V1.6_1.0.6
Issue Description/Phenomenon:
Users might find that they can not upgrade the firmware of RE215 from version 1.0.6 firmware to the newer one including online upgrade and local upgrade, the error message on the web might be like "Unable to connect to the server" when checking for upgrade online, or "Failed to upgrade the firmware. Please check the configuration file and try again" when upgrading the firmware manually.
Solution:
1. Please install the beta firmware - RE215_V1_Build_20240416 Beta first on the RE.
2. Reboot/Reset the RE after the Beta firmware is installed.
3. Upgrade to the latest firmware online or manually again.

I have had the repeater for almost 9 months, purchased through Amazon.
The reason why I want to upgrade it is to be able to use the easymesh function added in new firmware versions with an easymesh network that I already have working (and expand it to another place): two archer ax53 routers (one ax53 as main router and the other as satellite) and an RE315 repeater which are working together without problems with each other.
