Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 3.15.3 Build 180114 Rel.39265n

Model: Archer C7

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 3.15.3 Build 180114 Rel.39265n

My Archer c7 v2 (CA) router has the wrong region firmware installed.

 

It currently has version 3.15.3 Build 180114 Rel.39265n installed which I believe is the US version.

 

Everything is working ok but I want to fix this and upgrade to the latest CA firmware (Archer C7(CA)_V2_180305)

 

When I try, I get this error:

 

Error code: 18005
Upgrade unsuccessfully because the version of the upgraded file was incorrect. Please check the file name.

 

 

The bottom of my router says Model: Archer C7(CA). How do I get the correct region firmware to install?

The Archer C7(CA)_V2_180305 (ArcherC7v2_fr_ca_3_15_3_up_boot(180305)) is a FW version in French.

You have the US version - Archer C7(US)_v2_180114 (ArcherC7v2_en_us_180114 - with the same release notes but in English).

I believe that's the reason you can't upgrade to the former.

@terziyski When I go to the Canadian age that is the only firmware upgrade offered:

Yes, the top 2 FWs are the same - compare the release notes.

The difference between them is only the language - CA is in French, US is in English.

So bottom line - you have the latest FW in English - US one.
