Tags: #Firmware Update #WAN Port
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 20250416 rel. 75637

EDIT: I think I know the problem. I have version 1.6 and the auto update has installed 1.0 firmware. I'm trying to manually update the 1.6 firmware but not having any luck. Original post intact below.

 

Earlier this week, I got a notification of a firmware update available. I updated the firmware on my TL-WR1502X to firmware 1.1.0 Build 20250416 real. 75637. This firmware does not match the listed firmware updates available on the manual downloads.

 

I have this travel router in my bedroom and it’s wirelessly connected to my main router in office of my house. I have my Tivo plugged into WAN port which has worked flawlessly until this firmware update.

 

I have rebooted my Tivo and the travel router but the Tivo no longer works being plugged into the travel router. All devices connect to the travel router wirelessly just fine.

 

I do believe it has to do with the new firmware but I could be wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I am also having the same problem with my WAN port stopped working as a LAN port. In the system log there is a new error log showing "Failed to read WAN0_OFF".

 

EDIT: After contacting L1 support and providing a few screenshots, I was handed off to L2 support. L2 support has confirmed by email that the WAN does not function as a LAN port in HotSpot mode in the current update:

 

In firmware version 1.1.0, we have updated the mode selection page of TL-WR1502X. Currently, the WAN port cannot be used as a LAN port in Hotspot mode for the time being.

We will optimize it in the subsequent version so that WAN can be used as LAN in Hotspot mode.
