Unknown PIN after firmware update
Hello,
I found an Archer VR1200v router at home that I now wanted to put back into operation.
The first thing I did was install the latest firmware update:
"Archer_VR1200vv111.0.0.0_0.8_up_boot(181024)_2018-10-24_16.21.45".
After the reboot, however, the SSID changed. It now has "@unity" appended, and the device PIN is no longer accepted.
How can this happen? I have already performed several resets, but nothing changed.
Can anyone help me?

@Joseph-TP Thank you very much for your help.
The firmware was in Italian, which is why I was looking for the German firmware.
Unfortunately, I found the wrong version online, so that was my mistake.
With the incorrect firmware, the access password was also changed, which I obviously do not know. As a result, the device is unfortunately nothing more than a paperweight.

@Joseph-TP Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, I do not know the new password, and the default password printed on the label does not work either. The firmware I installed has overwritten everything.

Please confirm that you have performed a hard reset on the modem correctly.
If you got the modem from your ISP, you can find the login password referring to How do I find the device login password for TP-Link ISP-customized Modem Router?
