Performing a firmware rollback on your TP-Link EAP670 can be essential if a recent update causes issues or if you prefer an earlier version for stability. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a successful rollback process.
Prerequisites for Firmware Rollback
- Ensure you have the correct firmware version compatible with the EAP670 model.
- Download the firmware file from the official TP-Link support website.
- Connect your computer to the EAP670 via Ethernet for stability.
- Backup current configuration settings to restore after the rollback if needed.
Steps to Perform Firmware Rollback
Follow these detailed steps to rollback the firmware on your TP-Link EAP670:
Step 1: Access the Web Interface
Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your EAP670 (default is usually 192.168.0.1). Log in using your administrator credentials.
Step 2: Navigate to Firmware Upgrade
In the dashboard, go to the System Tools section and select Firmware Upgrade.
Step 3: Upload the Firmware File
Click on Browse or Choose File, then locate and select the downloaded firmware file for the rollback. Confirm the file selection.
Step 4: Initiate the Firmware Rollback
Click on Upgrade to start the firmware rollback process. Do not interrupt the process or power off the device during this time.
Step 5: Wait for the Device to Reboot
The EAP670 will automatically reboot once the firmware has been successfully installed. This may take several minutes. Do not disconnect or turn off the device during this period.
Step 6: Verify the Firmware Version
Log back into the web interface and navigate to the System Info section to confirm the firmware version has been rolled back to the desired version.
Post-Rollback Recommendations
- Restore previous configuration settings if they were backed up.
- Test the device thoroughly to ensure stability and proper operation.
- Monitor for any issues or anomalies after the rollback.
If issues persist, consider re-upgrading to the latest firmware or contacting TP-Link support for assistance.
