While upgrading the firmware of the TP-Link A6 wireless router, the internet connection type settings change and there is a chance that the internet may not be accessible after the process has been completed. (There is a chance that the firmware was upgraded automatically.)

Below are steps on how to get your internet working again if your internet is not working after upgrading the firmware of the A6 router.

Changing the internet connection type to [MAP-E (OCN)]

Changing the Connection Type through the Quick Setup
