Cannot update Archer AX53 to latest Firmware version
Hello,
I have recently bought a TP-LINK Archer AX53 V1 (EU) router and after setting it up to work, noticed that there is an available Firmware update waiting to be initiated. The available firmware is 1.4.3 Build 20250314.
For some reason, the update seems to fail without any error code.
I have tried the following:
- Tried to run the update from my laptop where I have wired(LAN) connection, from the admin page and the download phase is fine, but when installing, it loads to 100% two times really quick and at the 3rd attempt it fails at 0%.
- Tried from the mobile app(Wi-Fi), Tether, but the update runs for about 2-3 minutes and at the end it says it's done succesfully, but the same old version is still showing up as installed.
- Tried to update manually using the .bin file from Download pentru Archer AX53 | TP-Link România(Romania), but it still fails while at 0%.
- Tried with the 2nd Firmware version within the list(previous version) and still the same issue.
- Tried to change the DNS to 1.1.1.1(CloudFlare) as I have seen on a TP-LINK post which suggested this as a possible resolution.
- Restarted my ISP Modem + TP-LINK router, and also reset both to Factory Settings(re-did the setup).
- Tried from a different Browser(Mozilla), but it does the same.
- I even attemtped to disable the Firewall on my ISP Modem thinking it can block the update somwhow, but it wasn't the case.
There is anything I can do to run this update or I would have to stick with the version I already have?
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Roebrt
Hi @woozle!
Thank you for your help on this!
I maanged to fix the issue by trying again to manually update to V1_240509 and it went well.
After the update, my router was rebooted and had tried again to update from the TP-LINK admin interface to the latest version, V1_1.4.3.
Somehow my TP-LINK couldn't update from v1.1.2 directly to V1_1.4.3.
All good now!
Kind regards,
Robert
SOLVED!
Good night! I find a way to update the router Archer AX-53 V1.
First, I performed a hard reset by pressing the back button for around 5 seconds (until the lights went off).
Previously I download the 1.1.4 firmware version at the TP-Link Portugal : https://static.tp-link.com/upload/firmware/2023/202305/20230515/Archer%20AX53(EU)_V1_230413.zip
After HARD RESET I did a manual update of this version above. After updating to the 1.1.4 version I could update from the cloud server correctly.
It appears that is necessary to do the HARD RESET first, then update to the near firmware from the original (1.1.4).
Here is my screen after updating and thank you for this communication.
I'm here if anyone needs help.
God bless you all!
