@Kevin_Z thanks for the super fast response. I was actually more interested into the Wireless Backhaul compatibility to the Archer C80 v2.20. My Archer C80 v1 is already EasyMesh Wireless Backhaul compatible, but the C80 v2.20 isnt, it's still on a earlier 1.10 firmware version. Do you know if by any chance there is a beta firmware for the C80 v2.20 that could actually support EasyMesh Wireless Backhaul?
thanks again!

@Kevin_Z indeed have unzipped the .bin file after downloading and tried to run the update from both my PC & laptop. I also downloaded the file one more time, but unfortunately I get same result. I am in EU but according to description this firmware should work in my region so I am a bit confused on the root cause of the issue. Any other tips?
