Hi,
wanna flash a V5 of TP-Link C1750.
But this will not work.

Stock Firmware: 1.1.0 Build 20201120 rel.50406

Screenshot_select-area_20210705131458

Tyed with: openwrt-19.07.6-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c7-v5-squashfs-factory.bin and
openwrt-19.07.7-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c7-v5-squashfs-factory.bin

How can I fix this ?

Tyed to downgrade with: Archer C7(EU)_V5 200628.bin but the same Error Invalid file type.
