Wait TP-link EOL their fancy Wifi-7 router. Jezz how long do they support their product, 1 month ?


Well, they EOL’d their early–release WiFi-7 router that came out before WiFi-7 was even finalized, and simultaneously released one that they have spent an extra year debugging. Presumably they fixed the firmware bug that fixes the synchronization problem, or switched to a different implementation. It’s a really bad idea to buy early products like this since.


Nah bug is still in the qcom tree. I've not checked how many devices use it though


Ugh...reminds me of the "Pre N" Wifi days, and my stupidity for buying one before 802.11n was actually ratified.

Live & learn...


This is standard tp-link policy. They release a model, give it almost no support, then release a new revision a year later with incompatible hardware and then the old one is never updated again.


It was EOL from the factory. 0 updates. But other routers I "own" receive updates regularly so I guess I won some lottery.


If a product never got a firmware update during its support window, was it ever supported to begin with?
