TD-W8961N V1 131205

BIOS .zip 144 KB Shared

Early firmware release for the TP-Link TD-W8961N, hardware version 1, dated 131205, that is 5 December 2013. At only 144 KB the ZIP is far smaller than later builds, so it may hold a partial image, a bootloader or notes rather than a full system file; open it and check the contents before use. Full images are flashed through the web upgrade page. Verify the hardware revision on the label first, since mixing images between V1, V2 and V3 boards risks bricking the modem.
