Hello all!

Thanks for your patience...the MR3020U firmware is now live on the LibraryBox website for everyone to use:


It appears that any new MR3020's purchased will be the U variety. It's still not entirely clear to me what the hardware difference is, but the MR3020 v1 does NOT work for the U variety. 

Please verify the MD5 hash when you download. I build one of these today, and all seems well.

Thanks for uploading and making the version clear to the user.
It might not be obvious if she has a UN version or not.. you might want to put a picture or a howto for verification on the webpage.

The difference is, that TPLink changed the used firmware chip. Maybe for reasons like wholesale or discontinued production of the old chip. The "new" firmware chip does work with the old driver, if you tell the driver, that it can work with it  as well (this is what my patch did).

best regards Matthias

That's a good idea...I'll add the image of the label so people can tell. I am willing to bet any new purchases are UN.

Will do ASAP.

I just now successfully made a LibraryBox 2.1 with a router labeled as MR3020(UN) ver. 1.9 (that I purchased from Amazon for $28) using the recently posted firmware. Thanks.
