Hi,

I have the same router, with the same router version and the same firmware, I tried to update with the same firmware update and got the same error message. When I tried to update the firmware, it was not over wifi.

Please post an update if you resolve the issue, I'll do the same.

I've had a reply from tech support saying to upgrade first to 140305 (not UK specific), then to 140331.
I already found a chinese readme file in the 140331 zip which if translated seems to suggest the same thing, although I thought best to ask for clarification!
It seems 140305 doesn't appear for download if your region is set to "UK" on TP-Link website, it is available if region is changed to "Worldwide".

Haven't tried yet so don't know if it works....

Something else I noticed in the notes for 140305: [Note] The software itself is not digitally signed , only upgrade 3.0.0 Build 120524 Rel.05221 ( Part Number: 5020003658 ) previous software
I'm already on a higher version (3.0.0 Build 120808 Rel.28888 - what it came with - has never been available for download for some reason?)
So potentially it could mean a downgrade, then 2 upgrades :(

Would be good if TP-Link could clarify this and/or make an update for 3.0.0 Build 120808 Rel.28888 directly to TD-W8961ND_V3_140331_UK.

Update working

Hi,

The region was the key for me. I did not double check in which region I was downloading from. As soon as I chose Canada for the region and navigate back to the download area, the zip file I got there worked on my router.

So you updated to 140305, not 140331(UK) ?

Firmware upgrade

Yep!

Firmware upgrade page now says:

Build 140305 Rel.04531

The previous firmware was 12xxxx, I can't remember the exact release date, but it matched yours.
