Hi All

Just dropped over 5 Bills (CAD) on a TP Link Ax11000.  Opened it up to find it's version 1.  Read around as much as I could (or wanted to), and it seems that the US/EUR version 2 is an updated HW unit that you seemingly can't update by firmware. (I really should not have had to even look to see if it was old or new, the well known and respected reseller's ad said "New").

Dropped a ticket into tech support requesting a definitive list of the difference(s) between versions 1 and 2 (none of the usual "it's probably...", "it  might be..." kind of responses will be accepted).  TP link went to version 2 for whatever reason(s), and i just landed myself a fresh, new, old version 1 out of the box.

Pretty miffed I might say.  Got my RMA in hand, just waiting for TP link's reply and where that takes me.  Not afraid to say that if there's a hardware difference/feature/update that would prove beneficial, this puppy is going back and I won't be back to TP Link.

TP Link may want to avoid this type of first impression by getting their old stock off the shelves before they push the new stuff out..
