8960N V8 7C8BCA643108

BIOS .rar 1.99 MB Shared

Firmware dump labelled for a TP-Link TD-W8960N ADSL modem router, hardware version 8, with a string that looks like a device MAC address appended to the name. A name like this usually marks a full flash read taken from one specific unit, including its own identifiers. The RAR is about 1.99 MB, and you can write the image to the flash chip with a programmer to revive a bricked board. Check that the label shows V8, back up your own chip first, and afterwards change the MAC address and settings to match the unit you are repairing.
