Archer C80 V1 US firmware abandoned 17 months while EU V1 gets active updates

Saturday

Tags: #Firmware Update #Feature Request

Model: Archer C80

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.13.15 Build 240812

The Archer C80 V1 US has had ZERO firmware updates since December 2024. 17 months of complete abandonment. Meanwhile EU V1 with IDENTICAL hardware already has version 1.15.0 from May 2026. TP-Link's own EOL document lists C80 V1 US EOS as April 2024 yet firmware 1.13.15 was still released in December 2024 AFTER that date. This is a direct contradiction. Why does the SAME hardware receive active support in EU but is completely abandoned in US. Case number 437d30b5-ee1b-4f4f-9040-54fe731c3467

Have you tried using the EU FW release to update your C80 ? The C80 FW files for the EU and US regions are quite identical.
