I have an Asus RT-AC1200, released in 2019 that hasn't had a firmware update since 2021/05 which is the reason why I bought the TP-Link. I do see Asus has a Nov 2024 firmware for that RT-AC68U on their site.
As far as my TP-Link router, I think I remember it being stuck on a 2022/09 firmware until at least 2023/09, and I wound up flashing it with OpenWRT earlier this year.
- throw0101c 2y agoThe AC1200 series was originally released in 2015: * https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/ASUS_RT-AC1200_series https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/ASUS_RT-AC1200_series The V2 seems to be exactly the same except for some minor chip revisions (e.g., -DAN vs -AN), perhaps due to OEM part availability. OpenWRT also supports (supported?) the V2: * https://openwrt.org/toh/asus/rt-ac1200_v2 https://openwrt.org/toh/asus/rt-ac1200_v2
- dole 2y agoThe RT-AC68U was released in 2013, but I realized that the AC1200 is the consumer tier below the AC68 and related series, so that explains the closer importance on better hardware, easier updating of firmware and development.
