Do not install firmware blindly. Installing the wrong version can brick your router.

TP-Link does not always publish detailed changelogs for every minor revision, but the recent updates for V3.2 generally include:


  • Configuration hardening
  • Network controls
  • Monitoring and logging
  • Advanced mitigations
  • Incident response
  • The TP-Link Archer C6 (often sold as the Archer A6 in some regions) is one of the most popular budget Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) routers on the market, known for its reliable MU-MIMO and gigabit ports. However, like any networking hardware, keeping its firmware up to date is critical for security patches, stability improvements, and new features.

    If you own the v3.20 hardware version, it is crucial to download the correct firmware. Installing firmware intended for v1, v2, v3, or v4 can brick your device permanently.

    Press the Reset button on the back of the router for 10 seconds. This clears the NVRAM and prevents old settings from conflicting with the new OS.

    Before clicking any download link, flip your router over. Look at the white sticker on the bottom. You will see:

    If it says Ver: 3.0, 3.1, or 4.0, do not use the links provided later in this article. Stop and search for your exact version.


    Advanced users often ask if the V320 supports OpenWRT. As of 2025, support is unstable.

    After extensive research and verification, the official and safest download link for the TP-Link Archer C6 v3.20 firmware is hosted on TP-Link’s global or regional service portals.

    ⚠️ Important Warning: Do not download firmware from random file-sharing sites (Dropbox, MediaFire, or obscure forums). Cybercriminals often inject malware or backdoors into fake router firmware files.
