Hi,

 

What is the region code of your Archer C50 V4?

 

Edit: I just noticed you already mentioned it's "EU". There is more than one firmware listed here https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/archer-c50/v4/#Firmware . Have you already tried them all?

There are TFTP guides for TP-Link routers on Youtube. You might want to check there.

 

By the way, he computer running tftdp must have a static IP address of 192.168.0.66

  @Akkum 

 

This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKZD_2V1sMc is the most detailed guide I have seen.

 

Note that it only covers the TFTP part. You will still need a firmware *.bin file that has some parts of it cut away. (like someone provided for download in the other OpenWrt forum)
