@PowerlineFW   I have a TP-Link TP-8630(P) v1 UK  wireless  ,  currently running firmware 2.7,   I tried to update to 2.8 with the firmware link on mega.nz -  

QCA75XX-2.8.0.0030.nvm     selected the v2.8 NVM and the .pib from the 2.7 firmware but the TP-Link software immediately reports "Update Failed".      which is the correct firmware and PIB file that should be used please?

 

 

the other plugs I have a TP-8010(P) and a TP-8030(P) all updated successfully to 2.8 but not the TP-8630(P).   

 

thank you

The adapter with WIFI extender (TP-WPA-8630(P) v1 UK) can be upgraded with the regular or the stripped version (_stripped.nvm). Which one will be successful varies. When the normal version fails to install use/try the stripped version (or vice versa). A failed update will not brick your device.

 

Please, also check if your downloaded firmware files are not corrupted. Download the files again an use those to update your device. I had this issue when updating to 2.11.

 

You have an issue updating the WIFI adapter. When updating the TP-WPA-8630(P) v1 UK WIFI adapter also requires a .pib and .nvm file but the TP Link Utility only asks for a .bin file (.bin is for WIFI updates). There's only a relative short window of time to get to the proper update fields (.pib and .nvm). Best shown here:

@Andy_W You must use the "stripped" version:
2.8.0.0030_modules_5-6_stripped.nvm

 

And detailed in the video I had shared in my last post.

@TheDarkgg   thank you,  I will give that a try.       what does it mean when it's a "strippped"  version ?

@Andy_W  Some TPLink PLC models have a smaller memory cache than other models. This memory cache is used during a firmware update.
The stripped version allows to work on a smaller cache.
If I don't say stupid things. :)
