Model: Archer AX23  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: -

Hello. I recently got a new Archer AX23 and I flashed OpenWRT on it successfully. After a couple weeks of perfectly good use I began getting daily problems with loading various sites, unrelated to my ISP. I tried to flash back the original OEM firmware from TP-Link from my regions website with the correct hardware version: 1.20 (https://static.tp-link.com/upload/firmware/2023/202308/20230808/Archer%20AX23(EU)_1.2_230725.zip). I knew something was wrong when the middle led went orange and stayed like that for 20-30 minutes. I tried to flash various OEM firmware versions using the recovery mode, unsuccessfully though. After the progress bar would be complete the first time it would be greeted by the message in the picture below. Am I doing something wrong or should I need to try something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated

It's clear from the picture posted that the OP is already at the stage you are recommending, seems like a waste of time you posting the same method for recovery.
