Archer C64 Freezes and Goes Offline After Updating to Firmware 1.14.3
Archer C64 Freezes and Goes Offline After Updating to Firmware 1.14.3
Hello,
After updating to the latest firmware, my Archer C64 started freezing, and I can no longer connect to it either online or within the local network.
The only solution that works is a physical reboot. The issue occurs every 1-2 hours.
I have a main router and two secondary ones set up with EasyMesh. Before the update, everything was working perfectly.
Unfortunately, I cannot seem to downgrade to the previous firmware version (e.g., Archer C64(EU)_V1_1.13.15 Build 240812) from:
https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/archer-c64/#Firmware
In the logs, I see the following entries:
158 INFO 0days, 00:11:21, [upgrade]start upgrade

170 ERROR 0days, 00:11:21, [upgrade]main version 0x10d00 is smaller than 0x10e00!
Considering that resolving this issue might take time, I kindly ask you to provide instructions on how to downgrade to the previous firmware version.
These problems have rendered my device almost unusable, and I urgently need a solution.
Thank you!

A while ago backup file format was possible to read as a simple text file but they've changed this due to a security reasons (administrator password has appeared there).
As a last resort till everything settles you could try the beta FW offered here by YuriyB.
I am pretty sure that @Kevin_Z or @Sunshine would see this thread and do the necessary, so you can resolve this issue.

I tried downgrading after resetting to factory settings, but the same error persists. It says there’s an issue with the configuration.
So now I’m stuck with a router that freezes and no way to downgrade.
