Where is the support for this router? Its not that old of a router and has not had an update since 2017. There have been so many Vulnerabilities discrovered since then. Not cool to sell a $250-300 router that support was just dropped. This makes me think twice about buyin another TP-Link brand of anything and Im sure alot of people think that way. Why stop support of this router? Is it the same with the other models you sell? anybody can answer that if they would like in the comments. I just think it is crazy to leave your customers hanging like that. I could see it if it was a $50 router, but I invested alot into this thing.

Yes, it is a hard pill to swallow, but I do not think you will find any manufacturer providing any more than 3-4 years of support for netwroking equimpment.  Expecting more than 5 years of support in an industry that releases new models on an almost yearly basis is unrealistic.  How long are cell phone manufacturers supporting their products with software updates?  It is just a hard reality and too expensive and time consuming for companies to support products that long.  Sometimes, it may even be a hardware limitation to provide the updates you wish to see.

 

Hope this makes sense.
