Archer BE 9300 v1.60
I am wondering if this router has been retired or EOL'd? There hasn't been a firmware update in almost a year. I spent a small fortune on this beast yet it seems to have fallen by the side. No really firm answer from TP-Link as to why. They posted 1 firmware update a long time ago - it's why I am considering another different router such as ASUS OR Netgear for better support and letting my Archer BE 9300 become like the old Commodore 64 of it's day - a good doorstop.

Hello @ninja660 ,
It seems likely that your network isn't successfully connecting to the cloud, preventing it from automatically detecting the new firmware. This is the case with both your Archer BE9300 and the new router.
You could try changing the router's DNS to: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

@WKMAN I don't have v2.6 only the 1.6 - strangely too, since I have moved to another brand router it hasn't picked up that there was a new firmware update for it either.= but it was manually installed and that router is happy again.

@WKMAN This firmware does nothing for the v1.6 roouter - as far as I know the 2 are not interchangeable - even when I chatted w/ Tech Support many months ago, the 2 are very similar but you can't load the firmware from one to the other (one of the major major firmware ethics I learned when I had a Linksys and tried loading one of the freeware firmwares) for the WWRT router platforms. I don't need a $200 brick.

@WKMAN This is what I have been squawking about, it's been over a year almost since TP-Link has updated the firmware on this router. I bought the Netgear RS200 and they just put out a firmware update for it. I have been asking TP-Link for a upgrade on the firmware but it fell on deaf ears. After the FCC has now said that we can't get foreign built routers any more, I wonder if I should disect this to see what makes it tick just for the heck of it because if TP-Link isn't going to release any more firmware updates, what good is it other than a boat anchor (Well couldn't use that because of the metals inside) so, I guess will resort to using it as a window prop, a door stop or a bird perch.

Hello @OG-TimG ,
Thanks for contacting our community.
BE9300 and the AX3000 are likely the wireless specifications of your two routers, not their exact model numbers.
Please check the specific model number, firmware, and hardware version of your routers. You can refer to the following links:
How to find the model number of your TP-Link device
How to find the hardware version on a TP-Link device
How to find the hardware and firmware version of my TP-Link device
For firmware updates, please ensure that the "Auto Update" button is enabled and that the router's network can connect to the cloud server.
Additionally, we strongly recommend that you contact local support directly. This may allow them to provide you with a firmware version compatible with your region more quickly.
