Model: Archer AX50  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Looking at the availabilty sale's for the TP-Link AX50 (AX3000) i found what appears to be 2 versions. One version for Global retailers, & another for the chinese market.

 The one from china at around £68 {$90}   (£140 {$185} for the equivalent Global version) comes in a different case, but is still listed as "TP-Link Ax3000 Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router Gigabit Port Tl-xdr3020 Wifi6" & is easily found over at Aliexpress using google.. Sorry i cant link.

 

 

The Global version >

 The glabal Verion of it for comparison is here>

 TP Ax50 Global version

 

 

Soo, has anyone bought the chinese version and can confirm it is the same, and if so have they been able to update the F/w to English ?

 Im tempted to buy one from China just to see if i can upgrade the F/w .. but if i cant, the setting up will be a .... crying

English Firmware

Hello,

 

This TL-XDR3020 was released and sold ONLY in Mainland China and it is a Chinese version device, there is no English firmware for it. If you are not from the mainland China, we actually don't suggest purchasing it, the SPECs would be different from the current AX3000 English version and you may only be able to get the Chinese support for it.

 

I hope this make sense.

If the information I've found on the internet is correct, then the Archer AX50 / Archer AX3000 is equipped with 128 MB of flash memory and 256 MB of RAM, while the TL-XDR3020 merely has 16 MB of flash memory and 128 MB of RAM.

 

Not sure what else may be different between the two router models, but already the much smaller memory sizes of the TL-XDR3020 should prevent the use of the AX50's firmware.
