Archer C7 v2 (CA) has wrong region firmware installed. How to fix?
My Archer c7 v2 (CA) router has the wrong region firmware installed.
It currently has version 3.15.3 Build 180114 Rel.39265n installed which I believe is the US version.
Everything is working ok but I want to fix this and upgrade to the latest CA firmware (Archer C7(CA)_V2_180305)
When I try, I get this error:
Error code: 18005 |
Upgrade unsuccessfully because the version of the upgraded file was incorrect. Please check the file name. |
The bottom of my router says Model: Archer C7(CA). How do I get the correct region firmware to install?

Hi Kevin,
I'm having the same issues as the others regarding my Archer C7 (CA) V2 router.
I purchased the router from BestBuy
The firmware currently shows as:
Version 3.15.3 Build 180114 Rel. 39265n
However, it won't allow me to update and shows an error code: 18005
I saw that there is a story to update the firmware through TFTP, however the story is quite old and the application is for windows 95. Is there another easier method to get my router to the correct firmware?

@Justfrancis Hey just wanted to chime in as not too long ago I also had the same issue with my router regarding US firmware on a canadian router and this was the response I recieved from Kevin_Z (post # 2). He was very helpful at the time and assisted me in fixing my problem. Follow the link and maybe watch the youtube link as well. The visual aid was very helpful and the steps were pretty detailed:

Now that I look at it might be the same story you mentioned but I got windows10 x64bit (so I believe at the time I used the corresponding 64 bit application: Tftpd64-4.64) and I basically followed the youtube video and read up on some of the links and it worked.
Best of luck dude, make sure you read and follow the instructions carefully.
