Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.13.6 Build 240430 Rel.54880n(5553)

Hi,

I have a router with the following details:

  • Model: Archer C6(IN)

  • Hardware Version: v4

  • HVIN: Archer A6v4

  • FCC ID: 2AXJ4-A6V4

  • IC: 26583-A6V4

  • Made in India

 

  • TPlink

 

I’ve checked the OpenWrt Table of Hardware, and it currently shows support only for:

  • Archer C6 v2 (EU/US/RU)

  • Archer C6 v3 (US/BR/EU)

 

openwrt

 

There is no mention of Archer C6 v4 or v4.8 (IN).

I would like to know:

  • Can I safely flash the OpenWrt firmware for C6 v2 or v3 on my v4 (IN) router?

Thanks in advance!

  @rohiit_dev  You should probably ask the openWRT community this question and not TP-Link. TP-Link can tell you just the difference of the hardware from v4 and the older hardware versions.
