Recently purchased a SG3210 V2 switch.
Noticed that there is newer firmware available for this one, so I downloaded it from the tp-link supportsite.
According to your download support, version TL-SG3210v2_en_1.9.8_[20140818-rel66877]_up is available.
UnZIPped the file and tried to load that new f/w onto the switch through the webmanagement console.

After selecting the .bin file click on [ Upgrade] button and after a few seconds the screens fills up with some strange source code text. ?!?
Something like this:

"var testName=/\.bin/g; if(!testName.test(fileName)) { alert(js_bad_file = "Please check the type of the file!"); var element = document.getElementById("filename"); { element.focus(); element.select(); } return false; } if(fileName.length > 63) { alert(js_bad_filename = "The filename length should be less than 64 bytes!"); var element = document.getElementById("filename"); { element.focus(); element.select(); } return false; } if( !confirm(js_confirm_update="Are you sure to upgrade firmware?") ) { return false; } return true; } function guestDisableAll() { document.forms[0].filename.disabled = true; document.forms[0].submit.style.display = "none"; }"



After that the switch does not respond to any reboot/config save and other commands. It keeps on functioning, but the f/w is NOT upgraded and the only thing to get the webmanagement interface working again is to power off/on.
I cannot change any configuration through the webconsole anymore. [Save config] also displays error message "Save the config failed". Even reset through the webconsole does not work anymore "Error". Only power off/on does bring back the switch webconsole.

I have tried from different computers, different OS's, different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome). Even tried the 3 different downloads of the firmware on your website (130813, 140515, 140818). The all fail with the same kind of strange error messages.
Tried again after resetting to factory default; did not work.
Tried again after using default IP address; did not work.
Tried again with other cabling, other computers, other nics in computers; did not work.
Tried unZIPping the download file with standard Windows 7 and WinXP unzip tool + WinZip + WinRar; did not work.


It seems the .BIN files in the firmware downloads are damaged somehow?
E.g. when I use the [Save config] command, I get an error message "save the config failed" but no clou what is going wrong, also no message in the log file.

Anyone succeeded in upgrading the f/w of the SG3210 V2? Because the newer versions have IPv6 support and I want to setup an IPv6 environment.
