TP-LINK Archer C7 V2

Post by joxborrow »

I am trying to install gargoyle 1.8.1 fresh on my new TP-LINK ARCHER C7 V2 and I keep getting "Error 18005: Upgrade unsuccessfully because the version of the upgraded file was incorrect. Please check the file name." I have tried renaming the file to ArcherC7v2_en_us_3_15_1_up_boot(160719).bin, the name of the latest firmware version from the TP-LINK website, as well as shortening the name to things like "factory.bin". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance. :)

This has been discussed several times.

You need to jump through the hoops to make it work due to firmware lockdowns from tplink.

Thanks for the link. Sorry I missed that one in my searches. I am pretty new to this. I will have a go at it.
