Model: Archer BE550  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.3 Build 20230911 rel.69407

Hello everyone,

 

I recently bought the TP-Link BE550 from Amazon and have been having trouble upgrading the firmware.

 

I’ve tried upgrading both via the management website at tplinkwifi.net and the Tether app on my iPhone, but the upgrade fails after I hit the upgrade button. I also attempted a manual upgrade but ran into some issues:

 

1. There are two hardware versions listed on the download page (V1.0 and V1.6). The sticker on my router shows V1.6, but the management system displays it as V1.0, so I’m unsure which firmware version I should use.

2. I’ve tried uploading both the V1.0 and V1.6 firmware from my MacBook while being wired to the router, but both attempts failed.

 

Has anyone experienced similar issues or have suggestions on how to resolve this?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance!

  @FrankZhen When you log into the router's interface , use whatever hardware version is showing there. I bought a BE800 that showed 1.6 on the sticker but 1.0 hardware version on the router.  Tech Support said to go with the 1.0 stuff as the sticker only said 1.6 because the put newer pamphlets in the box.

Hi @FrankZhen,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

What message did you specifically receive when the firmware update failed? 

 

If you haven't already, make sure the firmware file (bin file) is extracted/unzipped from the compressed folder it was downloaded in. The router won't be able to read the file if it is still zipped/compressed.
