Some boards do not have ports for flashing(debug ports), but you can still find the real circuit to attach TTL wires. Just need someone who understand router boards good enough.

I see the only holes on the PCB that could be a serial port, but at this point I am going to give up on this product and await word or firmware from TPLink before even considering buying another tplink product.

I'm not gonna chance it, my replacement Netgear FVS 336G V3 has been most impressive in comparison and has been 100% rock solid. I'm shelving my TPLink VPN's and awaiting word from TPLink before posting my comprehensive long-term review of this device.


I will replace the three remaining TL-ER604W's soon with the netgears. Lesson learned. TPLink tech support for their products ranges from useless email advice to non-existent all-together.

Hi all,
I’m using that US rel 151021 on a EU_V1 (upgraded from EU firmware by error).
It works properly but I’m not able to activate WiFi: I cannot select US region, it is fixed on Italy, gray colored.
Anyway, after reading this thread I’m not sure to upgrade to 20160825.
A new EU firmware is arriving for V1
Any suggest?

For now, best thing you can do(like me), is to flash router with previous US firmware version - TL-ER604W(US)_V1_151021. (this firmware will report that router hardware is version 1.0. Only bad think there is- Wi-fi will be more slow than original EU firmware, but router will work great.)

It's better than TL-ER604W(US)_V1_160825. (this firmware will report that router hardware is version 2.0)

Or if someone still want to get back to EU version, there are always have one choice to try to force flash EU firmware though USB-TTL device. But in this way, i do not guarantee that, router will boot after this. But it's likely will be boot with success. Use that with you'r own risk :)
This is almost direct hardware/chip flash the router ROM. Also there is devices which can attach direct to router ROM and flash it with no prompt. But don't ask me where to get this.. I don't know. But USB to TTL device, you can get from everywhere, and it's cheap.
