Hi,
Just hoping for any good news regarding fw progress please ... is there any?
(Got two of those new V4 models today which was obviously not mentioned by the shop so was quite unpleasant surprise :frowning: rather not send them back)

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

As far as I know this model is not yet supported - but I hope am wrong. According to this other thread some progress was made.

Does anyone know if v4 will be supported and by when in terms of release cycle? Not expecting to be ready my next Monday of course just wondering if worth to keep my newly ordered stuff (which was a surprise to me as thought v2 will come) or better send back as very-very far to never is the timeline.

Thanks for any hint!

Well its Russian.. Is there a language setting?

I asked TP-Link support team about the firmware, and here's what they replied

Thank you very much for requesting information about our product.
If the language is Russian which means it's Russian version. Besides, this product is a Service Provider Product. About the firmware, please contact with your service provider.

So this model is ISP's customized router and not for retail sale?
@grrr2 Do you have English version? If yes, could you please dump your firmware?

Sorry i cannot help as sent back devices and replaced with something different.

But I don't know how to port it to OpenWrt

Hello,

I have one problem with Archer C5 V4 router (vpn to external server not work on WIFI) and and ask from TP Link for one firmware to solve problem.
Today I receive one beta firmware from TP Link.
If it is useful for somebody I put the link for download.

Maybe soon we will have a OpenWrt firmware version to download.

Thanks

Thanks for your firmware, but I found only 36~48 channels are available for 5GHz

24

I have one - c5 (ac1200) v4
If you need any info or testing - you're welcome

25

After some digging into the driver code, I found it very similar to RTL8367RB's driver
Assume RTL8367S uses the same SMI interface as RTL8367RB's, the only thing to do is to determine the GPIO#. But how?

26

What channels are available on your router's firmware?

27

sorry for the wait
36-64 and 132-165

28

the firmware for EUROPE version has appeared:
