Archer AX80 [AX8000] Support/Options for Australia firmware to enable U-NII-3 channels

Archer AX80 [AX8000] Support/Options for Australia firmware to enable U-NII-3 channels
Archer AX80 [AX8000] Support/Options for Australia firmware to enable U-NII-3 channels
2025-05-20 05:54:32
Model: Archer AX80  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.4 Build 20241227 rel.62129(4555)

The Australia AX80 / AX8000 [Slimline version] is brought here as EU spec. EU does not allow U-NII-3 channels 148-173. Australia does have those channels approved for use. Is there any beta/test firmware available to enable those channels? Even potentially safe other region firmware?

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks for your reply.

 

One thing which would assist me would be whether the adoption of UNII-3 channels on Australian versions (yes modified firmware should TP-Link decide to pursue it) would work on the higher permitted UNII-3 EIRP of 4000mW versus UNII-2C EIRP of 1000mW we are currently limited to with EU firmware.

 

In other words, does the EU Spec AX80 have different componentry that limits output on any band to 1000mW or the same componentry of the US spec

AX80 that does provide 4000mW but it's just firmware limited?

 

Appreciate any advice
