Description

This is a BIOS dump, revision 6.1, supplied as a RAR archive of about 6.7 MB under the original file name TL-WR740N ver 6.1.rar. The facts do not name a brand or board number, so the TL-WR740N name and version 6.1 are the identifiers to go by. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after the stored firmware has been corrupted or a failed update has left the device unusable. Before writing anything, confirm that the model and revision match your hardware and back up the original chip contents.

Questions about this file

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: TL-WR740N ver 6.1. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.

What does “clean ME” mean?

The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
