Hi @RichMcD 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

  @Dahliana The primary reason is that I already have two of the V1's in addition to the V2 which is where I got the notion that adding a custom option is possible.  I would like to continue using the Omada software to manage my network rather than setting up my own DHCP server (where I can specify standard RFC options) and have to manage it in yet another UI.

 

I am, after all, a Scotsman; and, as such, I am extremely cheap, err, thrifty.

R605 V1 is marked as EOL. TP-Link End of Life Products

I am afraid that new features may not be added to them. Based on the previous practice, the EOL products do not enjoy the firmware updates with new features added. We still provide the fix to security issues.

So, if you are expecting this feature, recommend you consider upgrading to the newer version. Or another model. I cannot guarantee that what you asked for be available.

  @Clive_A while it is unfortunate that v1 is no longer eligible for updates, basic dhcp features can be added to switches which are used as layer 3.

many people still have fully working and valid setups with older gateways, but switches that still get updates.

this is a decent solution to avoid unnecessary e-waste of otherwise perfectly good gateways

I am afraid that I cannot give you this guarantee. Like I said, I can report this to the dev but it's not my decision. The old practice is mentioned above which could be the result of this.

So, you can still hope that there is an update in the future somewhere but it is not guaranteed.

I've made myself clear and I have reported it. If it is denied after their evaluation, I'll change its status.
