Model: Archer AX73  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: V2_1.0.11

Hi!

 

We preferably chose TP-Link products, for the exceptional quality offered.

 

One thing that is concerning recently, is the very outdated base system.

 

The one actually embed is "OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment 12.09-rc1", a 2013 build, so we have a decade obsolete build in use.

 

The most recent stable release was announced a week ago, 23.05, which brings the most updated components for improved performance, stability and security.

 

Since Archer AX73 is in active lifecyle support, we would like to known if not the newest, when can we expect to have the possible earliest release available in next update?

 

We at least expect a system updated product before it reaches EOL, since Broadcom AX routers are not supported and cannot be replaced by third party firmware, as disclosed in Support page.

 

Thank you.

Hi, may I know how you checked the base system?

What is the hardware and firmware version of your AX73 router? and is there any issue with your router now?

@Sunshine

 

Base system version can be verified by serial, warranty was already expired.

 

For this model, we have routers versions 1 and 2, both with lastest firmware, V1_1.2.6 and V2_1.0.11.

 

Base system outdated is the main issue, but I can list more.

 

NAS difficulties similar with cases already reported in community, whose were working with EOL TP-Link routers, with third-party embed;
Web System Log overlooked, many information to diagnose connectivity problems simply not show, lacks of verbosity;
SSH not available, this is very limiting to troubleshoot and management.

 

DNS caching suggestion for faster browsing experience.
