Model: Archer A7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 20201120 rel.50399(5255)

Hello! I recently bought this model, and it does not flash any firmware(including official TP-LINK firmwares from the TP-LINK website) via router's GUI. It also does not flash using TFTP method(downloads the firmware and does NOT flash it). What is happening with my router?

According to your device FW version you're on the latest.

Here's the official versions.

If you suspect strange device behaviour you can hard reset (methid 1) the device and try again.

Not sure about Archer A7, but some devices won't flash the FW file if it's not newer than the current one. Also you can't upgrade with FWs from a different region or HW version.
