Why there is no up-to-date EU firmware for the Archer A6 v2?!
2020-02-08 12:34:15
Model: Archer A6  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 20181224 rel.49176(4555)

Why there is no EU firmware updates for the Archer A6 v2? There were at least 4 US firmware release in the latest year but 0 Eu firmware. The EU firmware still don't have these features:

 

- One Mesh

- WPA3

- Alexa

- UPNP Lookback

 

 

It's a kinda shame, especially because of the WPA3.

Hello sorry for the inconvenience caused here. The new firmware for Archer A6 EU V2 is under testing now.

 

You can keep an eye on the official website for the updates. And we will remind our engineer to release it more quickly.

 

Thanks for your understanding and patience in advance.

 

Good day.

@Kevin_Z the new firmware was released but it is just that hwnat fix that was released for the C6 EU three months ago, even though the C6 and A6 are very similar to each other.

 

Where are the new features that you promised in multiple A6 firmware threads, but only the bug fix was released? It's simply lying.

 

How long do we have to wait to get the new features on C6 and A6 while the US models are already having them for nearly 6 months now?

Also we expect to get "wireless time schedule" in EU model as US one model has. We do not need all that radiation emittion through the nights. Is this function so comprehensive to include it in firmware? Year 2020. Please, explain me this!

I bouth this router and an 305 repeater from tp link special for onemesh feature for my parents house. Tp Link It's not ok whats happening, your marketing just push people to find alternative ways to upgrade the firmwares with this attitude. In US you have multiple releases with this features why we still need to wait for them in Europe?

 

Regards,

@CotutiuLucian 

 

Is your Archer A6 v2 a US version or EU version, please? As you can see from the TP-Link official website, the Onemesh firmware had been released for months ago:

https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/archer-a6/v2/#Firmware

 

However, regarding the RE305, please ensure its hardware version is V3, which supports Onemesh. V1 doesn't support Onemesh:
