On the asus Homepage there is no information of
QTN and wave 2.

but is this true, all devices should be upgraded to new rev.

Another question why HW rev is same as A1 (nvram get HW_ver)
 
I wish I knew about the A2 version availability. I could have replaced my A1 router last year. Not possible anymore as it's now OOW... sigh.
