Archer C8 V1 firmware confusion

Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : Archer C8

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version : 3.16.27 Build 20140905 Rel. 51545

ISP : Plusnet Fibre


I'm a new owner of an Archer C8 v1. After getting my router up and running (very easy), I went on line to check that the new router came with the latest firmware. I am totally confused by the firmware version on line.

My C8 shows the firmware version as 3.16.27 Build 20140905 Rel. 51545

The download Centre shows the latest firmware as Archer C8_V1_150316

That's not exactly clear, but I assume that they may be the same? Would someone enlighten me as to why the support site is using different naming convension and are they the same please?

Kind Regards

Hi,

I agree, the TP-Link versions names are not very clear (like the R&D people...).

The most important is to identify the date for exemple 20140905 for 2014/09/05 or 150316 for 2015/03/16...
