Marcia please help downgrade firmware to Archer VR600(AU)_V2_Beta
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi Marcia,
My device was running fine on Archer VR600(AU)_V2_Beta firmware and was happily using the wireless schedule but after updating to firmware version Archer VR600(AU)_V2_190123 the wireless schedule is no longer available in the same way.
Previously I could manage wireless schedules for both 2g and 5g networks separately but after the firmware upgrade this is no longer possible.
I cannot find any option for tftp recovery so you will need to provide me with a custom downgrade file or else I will be seeking an RMA return of this device as it no longer functions as required.

Hello, thanks for your waiting.
I confirmed with our engineer that the Archer VR600 supports TFTP firmware recovery. While unlike Archer C7, the WPS led won't turn on.
You can read the story to get the instruction: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/stories/detail/582
May it help and have a nice day.

Thanks Marcia,
As the TFTP recovery guide you refer to is for a different model, can you please request from your engineer the correct procedure, IP address and firmware file name to use.
TFTP INSTRUCTION ARCHER VR600 V2
Eg: Power on while holding down reset button. Release reset button after 10 seconds.
IP Address: 192.168.0.66/24
Firmware: wdr4300v1_tp_recovery.bin
TFTP will now flash
I have previously tried to initiate TFTP and as you say there was no flashing light indicator.
But I also ran Wireshark and it didn't pickup any TFTP requests coming from the device either?
I will need more precise instruction please.
