Firmware to Support for Australian WiFi frequencies
It is awesome to see actual Australian firmware in the new EAP603 Outdoor!
EAP603-Outdoor(AU) v1.0
This means the EAP supports the correct WiFi frequencies and transmission strengths for Australia. Congratulation to TP-Link for this great step to support the Australian market!
Will TP-Link be extending Australian firmware support for any of the EAP's sold in Australia with the incorrect (and possibly illegal in Australia) EU firmware?
In the past, TP-Link has been selling Omada WiFi products, like the EAP772, in Australia, but with EU firmware. This means:
(1) Whole bands like 5Ghz Band 4 and 6Ghz 97-125 frequency channels that are supported in Australia are not available with TP-Link Omada EAPs.
(2) TP-Link EAP transmission strengths are too low or too high on some channels (especially 5Ghz) so don't match Australian regulations.
(3) TP-Link EAPs sold in Australia with EU firmware can transmit on some frequencies that are illegal in Australia, e.g. 5Ghz channels 120-131.
Hoping that the new AU firmware will be extended to these existing products to fix these issues? That would be awesome!
