AX50 - Any hope for WPA3 ?

Model: Archer AX50  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Hello,

 

Anyone here having information about a next version of the firmware with initially announced features such as WPA3 ? Is there also more advanced features (stats, optimization) planned ?

 

I hope I am wrong saying that like for Netgear RAX40 (Nighthawk AX4) which has the same radio Intel chip Intel (Lantiq) WAV654, we are users which are facing more or less the same issues... 

 

Thanks in advance.

Ben

Hi Ben, thanks for asking. While unfortunately, Archer AX50 will not receive an update to WPA3, as it might be limited by the chipset, but we cannot understand more with the technical limitations or feasibility.

@Kevin_Z  Hi and thanks for your direct and honest response.

At purchase time, I was quite happy to buy a future-proof router. That's really a shame.  

I am available to test any beta FW in case of things are changing. Else I think I will look for another router... :'(

 

NB : Still don't understand this situation with the chipset Intel. TP link should keep the pressure on them for the benefit of your customers

 if the soc intelGRX350A3 the correct soc, it's a shame not to see these features implemented in the Ax50

Btw I don't know why but it's impossible to add link to intel website
