@cold_river 

 

Make sure that you're suing the correct FW release (device region and HW version should be confirmed).

Here's a guide on how to determine these details - usually from the bottom sticker of your device.

@terziyski I'm using the TP-Link India site and when I select HW version v4, the site shows me FW for Archer C20(EU).

I don't see a Archer C20 FW available on the site.

 

However, I have another router which is Archer C20 (EU) version but that says "you got wrong file" and won't take the FW either.
