Description

From the original post:
TP-LINK TD-W8961N(EU) VER 5.0

This is a BIOS dump for the TP-LINK TD-W8961N(EU), hardware revision 5.0, supplied as a RAR archive of about 1.6 MB. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after corruption or a failed firmware update. Note that this is a router rather than a laptop or motherboard, so the usual board-number matching applies only to the revision shown on the device label. Before writing anything, read and back up the original chip contents, and confirm that the revision 5.0 matches your unit.
