The latest firmware is running 4.1.27 and the entire 4.1 family was EOL over a year ago. Anyone knows if there is an expectation/plan that the kernel will be upgraded by ASUS or it will just stay on an unsupported version forever?
The latest firmware is running 4.1.27
Thx, I got the idea now...The kernel is determined by the SDK and the platform, not by the firmware. 4.1.27 is used by the RT-AC86U, the RT-AX88U uses 4.1.51, and the RT-AX89U will be on 4.4 (if my memory's right). Just like Broadcom SDK6.37 and SDK7 models are on 2.6.36, and none of these ever has, nor ever will change kernel version.
One thing I know is synology rt2600ac.
It gained kernel upgrade to 4.4.60 from 3.4.103.
