That's not unusual. No manufacturer would "plan" a firmware update unless they were adding new features. That doesn't necessarily mean they won't release updates to fix bugs. The current firmware was only released 26 days ago.

Sorry, my mistake. I misread 2018 for 2019. (I still haven't adjusted to the year being 2020 yet. )

Is there a bug in the current firmware that you want them to fix?

 

[camaran]

some bugs are cofirmed from asus also, for example dhcp lock and other is feature missing, for example wpa3

I wouldn't expect them to add WPA3 to that model because it's too old. At the moment it's only in the RT-AX88U. If they do add it to other models I would expect it to be only on "ax" devices.

and other is feature missing, for example wpa3

WPA3 is not likely to happen via any firmware update to existing routers . It requires the manufacturer to apply for certification for their devices.

https://www.howtogeek.com/339765/what-is-wpa3-and-when-will-i-get-it-on-my-wi-fi/

Technically, WPA2 and WPA3 are hardware certifications that device manufacturers must apply for. A device manufacturer must fully implement the required security features before being able to market their device as “Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ WPA2™” or “Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ WPA3™”.

Do you have any client devices that are WPA3 enabled?

This would be consistent with my feeling that gateway devices that include modem functions tend to be less mainstream and enjoy less love and support and a shorter usable life overall. I've used the same cable modem while updating the router from N66U to AC68U to AC86U, and could even make it to an AX router now that I have an AX-enabled PC arriving soon.

Still, your gateway hasn't "died"... you can still use it.

I had an Optus branded netgear modem for ooh I want to say. 15 or 16 years and it never battered an eyelid. I'd still be using it if it wasn't for the NBN routers, they do so much so simply
