2026 Monthly Featured Firmware Updates - Home Networking

Hey TP-Link Community!

 

This year, we are continuing our firmware project, which aims to provide a lasting resource for you to see some of the key firmware updates and features delivered to your devices throughout the year.
 

As a reminder, this project is led by our community team and requires us to review each firmware update individually. Please consider this when requesting updates or confirming compatibility, as we may be able to reach out to confirm, but it is not always readily available. The most accurate and up-to-date notes will always be on your device’s support page.

 

• Not all hardware versions are guaranteed to receive a feature or update
   
• Only models and updates with significant changes or additions are included
   
• General bug fixes and minor updates are largely left out (unless related to recent community feedback)

 

We may have missed a few models, features, or hardware versions, so always check your device’s download page for the most accurate, up-to-date patch notes!
