Model: Archer AX11000  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 2.2.1Build 20250725 rel.9119(5553)

Hi , 
I've just upgraded to firmware 2.2.1Build 20250725 rel.9119(5553) and now when I use my VPN to connect to our data center I can't copy any files from any of the serves to my local PC.  This would normally work fine, I would connect to the VPN and then use Windows explorer to connect to teh URI can copy a file to my local PC.  

 

Now the copy fails to start and all network activity stops .

 

The only thing changed is the Router firmware version.  

 

Where can I get a list of firmware versions to rollback to .  This page https://www.tp-link.com/au/support/download/archer-ax11000/#Firmware only shows firmware up to Archer AX11000(US)_V1_1.3.4 Build 20230906 for V1 .

 

If my hardware version is v1.0 why did the Check for updates button load 2.2.1 Build 20250725 rel.9119(5553)  .  Is it fine to use this firmware?

Hello @GregObleshchuk  &@Aeg689 ,

 

Could you please tell me what type of VPN you're using? For example, an OpenVPN client or an IPSec VPN server? 

Please send the screenshots with the error message here.

 

I will send you both the beta firmware via Message, please install it and update to the beta manually.

Manual Upgrade Instructions(Case 1 in the following FAQ):  How to upgrade the firmware on the TP-Link Wi-Fi Routers.

 

@GregObleshchuk , if you can detect the new firmware, you can try updating it. This is because it's a notification pushed through the cloud system.

  @Joseph-TP  Could you send me the beta version of the update too? I have similar smb issues since the update. I spent more than a few hours on this and then found this forum.

 

Thanks!
