WiFi Router: TL-WR841N - Getting error 18005 when upgrading the router

2019-07-14 16:51:18

Model: TL-WR841N

Hardware Version: V9

Firmware Version: 3.14.4 Build 131129 Rel.39318n

I downloaded the following file: https://static.tp-link.com/2018/201804/20180403/TL-WR841N(US)_V14_180319.zip

Attempted an upgrade using the ".bin" file. Keep getting the error 18005.

Error code: 18005

Upgrade unsuccessfully because the version of the upgraded file was incorrect. Please check the file name.

Please advice on how to correct this issue.

Please look at the label on the bottom of your router. What does the model and version say?
