BE900 is a dead end product and customers who purchased it have been fooled thinking of it as some high end router. Even their $50 routers get more updates and support.

 

No MLO after loads of promises. Without MLO, it is not a Wifi7 product. But just a glorified Wifi6e product which can do 320Mhz channel width.

  @Mahapurush @Riley_S Would that apply to v2 and 2.6?

 

Or, only v1 and v1.6 are EOL? 

 

Strange that a product with 1 year old gets deprecated

Thats a shame, but seeing their product support firmware, with no updates since December, makes me thing indeed this product is a no go, now without MLO makes no sense to consider

Hey  @Mahapurush,

Our teams are still working on this, and the team had the tag removed due to its inaccuracy of what is actually happening - since it was essentially removed due to established processes. Traditionally, our EoL tag is more representative of a larger change in model but does not indicate that updates or even that large feature updates will stop coming(Decos being a prime example).

 

With Wi-Fi 7 being so new and the v1 built on a draft version of the protocol, it is likely that changes were made to improve compatibility and performance with a newer version - but this does not indicate a change in our support for your version. Unfortunately, we have not heard any recent specific updates regarding the BE900 and MLO - with the latest news being given on reddit about the new versions support for MLO.

All versions. Just don't buy BE900... irrespective of hardware revision numbers. Trust has been lost in this model.
