@Kevin_Z 

Dear Kevin,

 

I have Hardware version = Archer AX20 v1.0 on my TP-Link AX1800 router. I had latest firmware 1.3.1 Build 20210524 rel.40909, now I have downgraded to 1.3.0 Build 20210318 rel.47238(4555), but proposed scenario didn't work on both of these versions.

 

Without offered version update I can't install my OpenVPN profile (it is always running in "connecting" status after I upload it from my PC)

 

Problem step by step:

1. I open Google Chrome, choose "system" and "update firmware" (I also tried to upload via Internet Explorer, and from usb fat32, but it didn't help)
2. I browse my PC, directory C:\ (worked for another version file, so directory is not a problem)
3. I choose .... .bin (without changing its original name, but name shortening didn't help as well)
4. It starts to upload and end with "invalid file type." error.

 

As far as I understood, this may occur due to the following:
1) locale mismatch. I've bought this router in Russia, that's why I can assume that to be reason, but can't proove it. (https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/108703)
2) version mismatch. It is said, that "verify the hardware version of your device for the firmware version ... (Normally V1.x=V1)", but European site has different tabs for v1 and v1.2. However, the v1.2 is empty in "downloads".

 

Please, help me.

Thanks in advance,
Pobedim bezu vmeste


UPD: It's now working perfectly, thanks to the new link fo version 1.0! Thank you, Kevin.

Can we confirm who is the OpenVPN provider in this network?

 

BTW, the firmware we provided in the OP is built for AX20 v1 and V1.20, so it cannot be uploaded into V2 version.
