For someone who need it:

http://www.excellinformatica.com.py/?in ... CHER%20C20

or

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/fold ... Vp0VTllems

Thi page has the updated firmware for Archer C20W (is the same V4, for providers)

Strip, and install via TFTP:

Additional note.
U-boot has hardcoded tftp update command:

tftp 0x80060000 tp_recovery.bin;erase tplink 0x20000 0x7a0000;cp.b 0x80080000 0x20000 0x7a0000

You can see that the uboot code is not flashed or erased. So the device can't be fully bricked when updating via tftp mode. Uboot will be alive.

How to restore stock firmware via tftp

Download stock firmware from tplink website for your device and unpack it. For a example next link Archer C20(EU)_V4_170822.zip 139
Perform command: dd if=archer_stock.bin of=tp_recovery.bin bs=512 skip=1 to create firmware for tftp
Use tftp mode to flash tp_recovery.bin.

I installed the preset on router c20 w, after that I installed openwrt because of not being able to reinstall the original firmware on the router or send other firmware. I tried doing the restoration with ftp32 via windows and without success, the brick router

Is there any way to do it?

Use this tp_recovery.bin (Archer C20(BR)_V4_190103, already stripped):
