Model: Archer AX11000  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.0 Build 20220221 rel.50072(5553)

Hello,

I am extremely confused on the naming schemes for this current router i purchased from Costco.  First, on the bottom of the router it currently list the version as 1.6, but when I login to my router settings it says the version is Hardware Version=Archer AX11000 v1.0 (not 1.6 like the bottom of the router says).

 

My only options for downloads are as follows from website:

V1

V1.60

 

does V1.60= 1.6 are they both the same?  I used the firmware upgrade through the router settings ( i cant recall what original version was when purchased )

 

I can not understand the following explained from tplink site:

Normally Vx.0=Vx.6/Vx.8 (eg:V1.0=V1.6/V1.8);   Vx.x0=Vx.x6/Vx.x8 (eg:V1.20=V1.26/V1.28)

 

link:

Firmware page

https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/archer-ax11000/v1/

 

so what do i even go with when choosing firmware as this make no sense, my bottom router = 1.6 and the website list as only 1 or 1.60 i have no idea if 1.6 is the same as 1.60.  St Rather ask than find out  i was wrong and brick router

 

Thanks,

  @Alkaiser Yes.  The v1.60 would be the same as v1.6.  If you are still uncertain, snap a pick of the label and post it blacking out any details you would not want to share.

Thank you so much for the information,  I am extremely confused at the fact the router settings list it as follows

 

Hardware Version:

Archer AX11000 v1.0

 

Why does my router settings list it as v1.0 when the back of the router shows 1.6? is this normal?  I purchased my router from costco in case that does anything.  Should i be concerned about this, i have never had a router specially one this expensive not list proper revision number.

 

I also tried updating firmware from website (V1.60) and it still list it as V1.

 

Any further information or help greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

J.C

No, that is not usual.  The web GUI should report the same version as the sticker on the router.  I have a feeling there are only subtle differences in the firmware for the two versions and TP-Link forgot to change the versioning in the web GUI for the 1.6.  I would not sweat it as long as everything is working.  Next update may correct it.  Just keep downloading updates to the 1.6 version.

I still have this issue and the GUI still list incorrect Hardware revision, i am currenttly using the latest firmware without any hitch but still bugs me why it does not list proper numbers. I have never experienced this before with any electronic component or machine.
