TP-LINK Archer C7 V2 early 2016 and later - does 1.9.1 work?

[tiredtyrant]

There's a warning for this model saying 1.9.0 and earlier will brick it. Is 1.9.1 fixed?

Please use the latest 1.9.x. I know that it was fixed I just can't remember the exact version.

yup it works. I just flashed the lastest gargoyle-ipsy build on my 3day old archer c7 & after some nailbiting moments (I'm a real noob to all this flashing fw biznes ), I got 1.9.x on.

boy o boy, now I have a super stable c7! not quite sure if speeds have improved but no more resets or missing ssids!

needless to say, I'm super stoked. a big thanks to ipsy

I have 1.9.1 on the came archer c7 v2. Is this ok to have this firmware on the router? Should it say: Gargoyle version: 1.9.1 in the gargoyle backend? Or should it say 1.9.x?

I am having issues with my ethernet dropping connection to the gateway.
Maybe this is the reason why...

1.9.x?

1.9.x is currently the most recent and most stable.

its an easy upgrade. try?

I have successfully installed 1.9.1 on an Archer c7 v2. So far, no problems, apart from an issue with userids/password on PPPoE, but I guess this is straightforward to fix.
