@Kevin_Z has the new official version already been released? If so, my GE800 isn't seeing it as an update; is the final release the same version as the latest pre-release version?

Not yet. It is still the same beta version for now
Could you ask the engineering team if they can (or did in the new firmware) implement GeForce Now into the game statistics so it’s recognized as a game? I am willing to give them feedback regarding cloud gaming. I know it is not the main focus of this firmware but it could be useful I guess.
Also, will it be possible to add the AFC feature in the future with the GE800? (I know it is not available everywhere in the World). Not sure if it got the hardware for it.
Thank You!

I conducted further tests regarding game detection in Game Center for Game Boost.
When playing on Amazon Luna, it seems to be detected in Game Center’s Game Boost mode. However, GeForce Now is not detected at all when playing on it.
Could you report it to the team, please?

today my Tether app notified me of a new firmware update.
here is listed: https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/archer-ge800/#Firmware as version V1_1.2.2 Build 20250727 so... it looks like is newer than the one of this thread, but it doesn't provide AI QOS but just "Enhanced the stability of device".
updated without issues, so far.
BTW on the italian site (I'm from Italy) https://www.tp-link.com/it/support/download/archer-ge800/#Firmware the "newest" firmware available is still V1_1.1.6 Build 20241120 from January 2025...
should anyone from tp-link update that page?

another day, another official firmware? https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/archer-ge800/#Firmware
version V1_1.3.0 Build 20250802:
New Features/Enhancement:
Enhanced the stability and security of device.
Note:
This firmware release cannot be downgraded to the previous version.
I guess that yesterday firmware was really bad for security if they released another firmware just one day later!
and the build number? from 1.2.2 to 1.3.0?
and still no AI QOS.

Looks like mine auto-updated to 1.2.4, which is not listed on the USA website. No idea what it is!

@Jaybonaut No worries. You can update to the latest firmware when it becomes available on its web page or via the Tether app.
The website may not publish the new firmware as fast as the cloud. You may check the US site on Friday. They generally update the resources on Friday.

As stated, the 1.3.0 Build 20250802 was published urgently to enhance the stability and security of device, so it didn't include the AI QoS.
