TP-Link aims at providing better network experience for users.
We will inform you through the web management page if there’s any update firmware
available for your router. Also, the latest firmware will be released at the TP-Link official
website www.tp-link.com, and you can download it from the Support page for free.
Note:
• Backup your router configuration before firmware upgrade.
• Do NOT turn off the router during the firmware upgrade.
