Hello! We will now flash the Tp-link TL-WR841N router. This manual will work for TL-WR841ND as well. We already have instructions for flashing Tp-link routers on our website. There I told you how to find out the hardware version of the router, download the firmware, and actually flash the router. This is such a general article, and I thought that I would need to prepare a separate article on the firmware of the Tp-link TL-WR841N router.

This is a very popular model, one might say popular :) Therefore, I think the article will be useful to many. By the way, I wrote about setting up this router in a separate manual, you can read it here. As for the Tp-link TL-WR841N firmware, everything is just as simple there:

First, let's find out the hardware version of the router
Download the firmware for our model (TL-WR841N, or TL-WR841ND) and hardware version from the official website.
Connect to the router via cable and update the firmware.

All this will take a few minutes. And a software update can significantly improve the performance of your router. In new updates, the manufacturer always improves, adds, and refines something. Therefore, after updating the firmware, your Tp-link TL-WR841N can run even better and more stable.

Firmware in Russian for TL-WR841ND

For this model, many are looking for and asking about the firmware in Russian. I think this question needs to be answered. Below, I will show you how to download the firmware from the official Tp-Link website. So, for each hardware version of the router, the site displays several firmware versions. Yes, there are versions in Russian. At the time of this writing, Russian firmware for Tp-link TL-WR841ND is available only for V9, and V8 (not the newest). The site indicates the language of the firmware.

I agree that setting up a router is much easier when the control panel is in Russian. But there is nothing false in English either. Moreover, almost all instructions for setting up this router are written using the example of the English version of the web interface.

1It doesn't matter if you have a TL-WR841N, or ND, first of all, you need to find out the hardware version of our router... The easiest way is to look at the sticker on the bottom of the router itself. The hardware version will be listed there. For example, my router has hardware version 7.2. Below, the sticker says Ver 7.2.

I have an old model, now I already have 11 hardware versions. Everyone, we know the version of our device. This information will be useful to us when loading the firmware. Since the firmware must be downloaded for our version.

2Next, we need to download the firmware file. We will download this file from the official website of the Tp-link company. It is very important to download the firmware specifically for our router and the hardware version.

Further, on the page of our model, we select the hardware version of our router, which we learned above. I have Ver 7.2, so I choose V7.

Have chosen, and scroll down the page. We tear off the tab Firmware (or, firmware).

Download the first firmware on the list. She's the newest. We save the archive with the firmware to the computer. Save it to your desktop, for example.

Now, open the downloaded archive, and extract the firmware file from it.

That's all, we have the file we need. It remains only to fill it into the router.

3Attention! At the time of the firmware update, connect your computer (laptop) to the Tp-link TL-WR841N via the network cable that comes with the router. You cannot flash the router via Wi-Fi.

So, we connect via cable and go to the settings. Open any browser, type the address in the address bar 192.168.1.1 and go over it. You will be prompted for a username and password (default admin and admin). If you cannot enter the settings, then see this article.

In the settings, go to the tabSystem Tools - Firmware Upgrade... Click on the button select a file, and select the firmware file that we downloaded in the explorer.
