Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : Archer C7

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version : Archer C7_V2_V3_140929

ISP : Virginmedia


I have an Archer C7 version V2 firmware 140929.

My question is:- Can the Archer C7 version V3 firmware Archer C7_V2_V3_141110 be used to Upgrade the Archer C7 V2 as hinted in its title??

Many thanks

Not sure if it can, but I just bought a v2 (installed today) and upgraded to that firmware. It seems to be running fine. The difference I immediately noticed was the USB menu options, but I'm positive that's not what the upgrade is limited to.

Thanks for the reply. Good to hear. It would be helpful if TP-Link would make it clear about software updates. I assume (rightly or wrongly) that you can use the V3 software upgrade as the name of the file seems to
indicate you can.

My reply from TP-Link



Hi Eva,

Thanks for the prompt reply.
Understand I cannot use Archer_C7_V2_V3_141110 on my Archer C7 V2.
Thanks for that.
Can I suggest that any upgrade for the Archer C7 V3 has the V2 removed from its file name. This just causes confusion.
The fact the file has V2 in its description implies that it could be used on the Archer C7 V2 model.
Many thanks

Best wishes
Graham Wesson

They have little difference on hardware, once there are firmware upgrade, there will be firmware for both V2 and V3. No need to bother yourself with the firmware upgrade, V2 just use V2, V3 just use V3.
