Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: V4.0_240430

Hi there,

 

I had got my TP link archer c6 v4 router core firmware currupted somehow. I tried following until but failed on all these.

 

1. kept pressed reset button while LAN into my lap and got a page on 192.168.0.1 says upgrade firmware, i download relevant US version from here. once its done 100% it says upgrade was a success then attempts to redirect to another page but after sometime it comes with an error saying "timeout". But when i visit same page in new tab everything same loads up and asks for firmware upgrade again and can keep going infinity.

 

2. I kept pressing reset button than turned on power button and kept pressed reset until all lights turned on and network adaptor gets information. Than all same process selecting file to upgrade was a success and than same timeout error but this time even i revisit 192.168.0.1 it doenst get back and no any page or something comes back at all.

 

3. I tried this with file renamed to "ArcherC6v4_tp_recovery.bin" and all same.

 

4. I tried with some tftp softwares but nothing happens with them like no logs at all.

I need help with getting it back to work, I have no guarantee left on product.


Thank you.
