Description

From the original post:
TP-LINK TD-W8961N(UN) 4PORT Ver2.0 TESTED OK

The file is a BIOS dump for a TP-LINK TD-W8961N(UN) 4PORT router, hardware version 2.0, shared as a RAR archive of about 1.6 MB. The uploader marked it as tested, but that is their claim and has not been independently checked. This is not a laptop or motherboard file, so the usual bench workflow of reprogramming an SPI chip on a PC board may not apply to it. Before flashing any firmware image, confirm that the hardware version on your device label matches Ver2.0 and back up the existing firmware first.

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: TP-LINK TD-W8961N 4PORT Ver2.0. 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.
