I'm curious. Do you find it odd that they haven't released an update for it since July of 2022? Is it already EOL?

I’m well aware. I couldn’t find a lot of threads where someone was a fan of these units at all, and for a product that is not listed as EOL, I have to wonder why it’s still on the 386 code.

It may not be on the EOL list, but the writing is on the wall.

Buyer beware.

And if using as a main router, user beware too.

Current buyer, sure. What about people who bought these new a few years ago? I recommended this to a neighbor when it was about 6 months old, expecting 8 years of support, based on Asus’ track record. I’m furious. Sure, my AX88 works great for me, but they need AI Mesh, given that it’s a mesh system.

Grrr…

8 years support? That's being patently optimistic.
