Hi Kevin 

 

I noticed the local TP Link website has the latest FW version but it is for US. 

 

Is this okay? 

 

Shall I update it using this FW? 

 

Thanks.

Hi Kevin,

 

I tried to update using the FW from my local TP link website but now my router isn't working at all. 

 

It is just showing one light that is blinking rapidly for ethernet. I'm unable to access the router setting page as well.

 

Please help me flash my router to the original FW. I will never update TP-link products again. This is too much of a hassle. Please guide on how I can flash using TFTPD. 

 

Thanks.

Sorry to hear that. May I know which firmware are you trying to upgrade to? Is the below one?

 

If the router is now unresponsive, please try to upgrade to the original firmware by referring to the firmware recovery as below:

Hi. 

 

I have a C20. Will this guide work on my router? 

 

Can you please tell me which one should I go for? I want the stock firmware for my device like it was when I first bought it. 

 

Please find hardware details below.

Hi Kevin

 

I followed all the steps and did the flash exactly as instructed but its still bricked. 

 

Do I have to try several times? 

 

Please help. Have I destroyed my router? It shouldn't cause this much issue from upgrading/flashing an official firmware. I didnt even flash any third-party firmware.
