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.

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

Live & learn...

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

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

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