Model: TL-MR6500v  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 0.9.1 v00a1.0 Build 230816...

Tether app works on my Samsung XCover5 phone fine. Installed Tether on Samsung SM-t580 tablet with Android 8.1, but when opening the app, it briefly shows the startup screen with TP-logo, then immediately closes again.

Hi@whs-hermann,

Yes, it seems that the operating system is relatively old. The latest TP-Link Tether version is 4.9.27, released on February 11, 2025.

If your tablet cannot run a newer version of Android, you may not be able to use the new version of the Tether APP.

Hi @whs-hermann,

 

The version of your tablet's Operating System is too low. It is recommended that you update the Operating System.
Or, please continue to use the Tether APP on your phone.

  @Joseph-TP 

It is a 2016 model tablet and it tells me it has up to date/latest software installed, updated in 4/2020. Which I understand now that it may never again run newer apps (?) Or can I possibly upgrade to a newer Android version?

I value your help on this, rgds Hermann
