Region : Romania

Model : TL-WR740N

Hardware Version : V3

Firmware Version : 3.8.2 Build 080628 Rel.37228n

Hello,

I have a problem with my tplink router. In first of all I can't find my model in this forum. I have TL-WR641G [108M] and I cant upgrade my firmware.

My current firmware is:
Firmware version: 3.8.2 Build 080628 Rel.37228n
Hardware Version: WR641G/642G v3 081520C2

I tried to download the latest firmware from this page (V4)
http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/?model=TL-WR641G&version=V4
I press browse button from web interface, I select wr641gv4-en-up.bin and I press Upgrade but nothings happend. I read on other forums this router have 1MB internal memory and wr641gv4-en-up.bin have 1.07MB.

I don't know what to do, my router randomly resets and I want to try a firmware upgrade before I buy a new one.

Thank's

As I know, TL-WR641G is a discontinued product.
Because your version is v3, it cannot be upgraded with v4. It may cause damage to your device.

This is very weird, why they released a firmware but it's unsupported :confused:

V3, V4 are probably the hardware versions. Routers with different hardware versions are different physically, even though they are the same model. You have V3; the firmware update is for V4. If there is no firmware update for V3, then you're out of luck.
