Cannot do firmware update on brand new Archer C7 (AC1750)
The firmware on the router is:
1.1.4 Build 20211022 rel.58866
The newest firmware on tp-link's download page (https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/archer-c7/#Firmware) has a new release number:
c7v5-up-ver1-1-4-P1[20211022-rel59103]_2021-10-22_16.38.32
When you attempt to upgrade this firmware you get an "Invalid file type" error. This is true of EVERY other firmware I've tried as well.
What is this? TP-link used to be really easy to upgrade, now for some reason they are putting a bunch of checks in place that make it harder for the end user.
