To Upgrade

It's recommended that users stop all Internet applications on the computer, or simply disconnect Internet line from the device before the upgrade. Plug and Play - Set up your powerline network and start enjoying fast, seamless wired/wireless connections in minutes

For devices matching the tplink_tl-wpa8630p-v2-int and tplink_tl-wpa8630p-v2.0-eu firmwares with extra-para located at 0x632100: The QCA7550 PLC stores its firmware and configuration in its own dedicated 1Mb flash and runs independently of the router. (This is different than some other Powerline routers (e.g. d-link_covr-p2500_a1), where on every boot the PLC reads its firmware over Ethernet from the plchost daemon running on the router OS). arg 6: mtdparts=spi0.0:128k(factory-uboot),128k(u-boot),1024k(uImage),6784k(rootfs),64k(mib0),64k(ART) Once the firmware has been flashed, you will see this on the console and the device will reboot into the OEM firmware:
