Help ! TP-Link Archer C6 v3.2(US) router bricked
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I was trying to update the firmware of my TP-Link Archer C6 v3.2(US) router to the latest update available (Archer C6(EU)_V3.20_210513) but I seemed to have bricked my router. I was previously running the Archer C6(EU)_V3.2_210322 firmware. All the LEDs light up and there is no WiFi signal nor internet through the Ethernet ports.
When connected through Ethernet the router admin page says that there is a system error and asks to upload a firmware. I tried uploading all the available firm wares but to no avail. It uploads successfully to 100% but again reloads the system error page again. (Recovery link : https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1482/)
I tried the TFTP method as well but I do not see any TFTP connections happening. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
Can my router be saved ? I there a way to unbrick it ?
Sorry to hear that.
That's why we always remind our customers to upgrade the TP-Link device firmware as per the hardware version as well as the region version, as there are cases upgrading the device across the region may brick it:
