Hi, what is the current firmware version of your A8 V1? and which firmware are you trying to update?

@Sunshine I have the exact same issue. My router had an update available a few months ago and I clicked the "UPDATE" button.
Under Advanced -> System -> Firmware Update -> Firmware Version it shows 1.13.1 Build 230609 Rel. 32076n(5553)
Hardware Version: Archer A8 1.0
I attempted to flash it with the latest file on the TP-Link site, the 1.12, Build 230208 file since the "UPDATE" button pulled the wrong file. I get the same error message as OP.

Hi,
Firmware version 1.13.1 is the newest version that is available for the Archer A8 V1.
Trying to install version 1.12 would be a major downgrade, which the router doesn't allow.
If version 1.12 is the newest firmware that is shown on your country's local TP-Link website, then it just means that particular regional website hasn't been updated with the latest information yet.
