I had a small problem where a few times a week my connection was dropping only for between 5 and 20 seconds (which doesn't sound a long time but it is if this at a certain time)
So i thought id check to see if the firmware is up to date. On the router user interface the 0.7.0 0.9.1 v006c.0 Build 210313 Rel.74106n was there to be updated.
After a couple of days the problem i have has got worse ive checked the forum and have seen someone say there is a problem with this update and to downgrage to the old version
i have a couple of questions
1) What is the correct firmware verison i should be using?
2) If i need to downgrade where do i get the correct version? (i did have a look on the webiste https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/archer-vr2800/#Firmware and i downloaded the Archer VR2800(EU)_V1_200227 file and tried to update the file called Archer_VR2800V1_0.4.0_0.9.1_up_boot(200227)_2020-02-27_17.47.09.bin but got an 4503 error.
Any help would be much appreicated.
Thanks in advance
In general TP-Link recommends to have the latest FW release on your device.
The 4503 error could indicate that you're trying to update the device FW with a release for a different HW version or FW region - that's not possible.
Check your bottom sticker to find which FW region and HW version your device is - then select the appropriate FW release.
When you are not allowed to downgrade to a previous FW version, usually this is noted in the FW release notes:
If you've acquired the correct FW release, there's also so called TFTP recovery, which is used to downgrade the current FW.
