Tags: #Firmware Update

Model: TD-W8961N

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version: 3.0.0 Build 180118 Rel.05999

I've updated my device (td-w8961n v3) from 3.0.0 Build 170919 Rel.21648 to 3.0.0 Build 180118 Rel.05999,

And it seems that's last update for firmware v3,

So can I upgrade my device td-w8961n v3 firmware with v4 or v5 firmware with these links in order:

https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/td-w8961n/v4/
https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/td-w8961n/v5/

Or may it damage my device?

The modem router either won't allow you to do that or you would damage your device.

There's a rule that states you can't use FW release for one HW version to update a different HW version:
