Guess what, it’s all the same 5533 error if you are trying to flash over ddwrt the first time to the archer c9 v1 that has had recent official firmware on it (any of them in the last years from 2018 on) – The TP link firmware page states “After upgrading to this firmware (180125), the device cannot be downgraded back to the old version” - Obviously we know that is not the case since this fix seems to work so no worries. Even later editions such as the official tplink software just state “error 5533” and the latest firmware I think just says there has been an error. Firstly older tplink firmware used to say something like “error 5533 – there is a problem with your file or file name” - later builds referenced an issue with file composition that could perhaps make a user think that the bin file was incomplete or had bad file structure. Note to any one reading this having an issue trying to webflash the factory to ddwrt image or tftp over any version of firmware where the router seems to accept the transfer but not flash - You are most likely experiencing error 5533 (if you were to connect to the device via JTAG and open a shell you will get a better understanding that what is going on here / 3 different firmwares display error 5533 in 3 different ways – This error is both simple and complex depending on what firmware you are having difficulty with. Not only will it make it hard to move on to any alt firmware for this model but the latest official TPlink firmware no longer even states the error code or an error description (as older firmwares did). Let me start by saying I have 30 of these units, mostly upgraded to the latest 210107 tplink official firmware and several new in box never opened with the oldest factory firmware that was shipped in US.Īs everyone has figured out, upgrading to latest firmware (well anything since Archer C9(US)_V1_180125) causes this device to kick error 5533 - and upon review of the ddwrt install instructions for this unit one of the very first things mentioned is "upgrade to the latest version". I think I have a working software only solution for the Archer C9 V1 issue that people are reporting. Posted: Fri 6:39 Post subject: Working Solution to Archer C9 V1 - software only, no serial
