@RossCarlson I uploaded the file to Mediafire.com..hopefully the link will work: https://www.mediafire.com/file/c33qmp3tat8kwea/ax1500v1.20-up-ver1-1-2-P1%255B20201113-rel54097%255D_2020-11-13_15.29.00_beta.bin/file  -- I dunno if the file has a time limit before it goes poof or if it'll stay there

 

 

Thanks, that's very cool of you - I'll try this shortly to see if it will let me downgrade/change to this firmware. That said I also hope tp-link replies as at this point I'm going to have to replace this as that is completely unacceptable.

 

I'll post back soon.

 

And that didn't take long - can't install this firmware since it's a downgrade, when I try I get the same "invalid file type" that I get if I try to use any of the other firmware on the download page.

 

I guess at this point if I don't hear back today I'll have to go buy a new router/AP from another company as this is COMPLETELY UNACCPETABLE. It's great to add new features but to add a bug that prevents devices from connecting it sorta defeats the purpose of the device huh?

 

So still at a loss.

@RossCarlson Well that sucks..I thought for sure it'd work and it's a beta..well I tried

And for that I'm rather grateful, but I need a reply from tp-link, as I said not being able to use my wireless network after an update that added a feature to break things is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

 

I guess at this point I'll be buying a new router and will never buy another tp-link device ever again.

Question - can you tell me specifically what you changed to fix this for your Android device? I've tried all the WPA security modes with no luck but I'd love to hear specifically what worked for you.

 

Again thanks for helping.

@RossCarlson I myself didn't change anything.. @Carl and his techie team did somethin..I dunno where he went..maybe could whip-up another firmware that could downgrade your current version since the one I sent/he sent wont work for some silly reason

DM sent - but I think we should do this in this thread since it has already affected others and likely still is. Is there no way to rollback a firmware update on these devices? That would be the easiest fix as I don't need WPA3 so just let me roll back to before this update broke things. If we go longer than another day or so I'm going to just have to punt, throw this away and buy something from another brand as being offline this long is absolutely unacceptable. I've now been offline for more than 4 DAYS, sorry but in 2021 that just won't cut it.

And it's now been well over a week - I've been VERY patient but am at my end, what do I have to do to get this addressed? My next step will be to ask for a refund directly from tp-link. Please advise ASAP.

I guess at this point I'll contact someone to get a refund as this is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. Oh well, guess I'm never buying another tp-link product again and I certainly recommend if you're reading this that you don't either.

@Carl 

 

I've now messaged you THREE TIME over a TWO WEEK PERIOD. I can no longer continue to wait for a company who not only completely ignores its customers and is unwilling to ensure that its customers have a working product. It is completely unacceptable that I've not been able to use my internet connection on my Android device for WEEKS due to YOUR PROBLEM.

 

As I said in my DM please let me know how to get a FULL AND COMPLETE REFUND ASAP. At this point I need my device back online so I'll be puchasing a new router and will never, ever purchase another tp-link device again and I will ensure that everyone I know personally and professional does not either.

 

Couldn't be more disappointed.
