A word of warning.
Don't buy TP-Link AX20 if anyone here wants to use the OneMess functionality.
TP-Link pulled a bait and ignorance on previously AX50 model. They added the NOTICE below after FLASH SALES of AX50. dry.gif
Note that it is "planned" for the OneMess. Who knows if TP-Link will pull another same stunt on AX20 too. puke.gif

TP-Link official statement regarding WPA3 and OneMesh Compatibility.

Model:General Product
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Recently we have had some inquiries about the OneMesh and WPA3 compatibility update for our products, such as the Archer AX50 and Archer AX3000.  While "Coming Soon" was never intended as a guarantee and more of a reference we understand how it was causing some confusion.  To that regard we have made changes to the splash pages for these two services to better articulate the actual intent.  "Coming Soon" has been changed to "Planned".  We also encourage you to review the disclaimer note at the top of the page for further explanation. 



Splash pages for these two services can be found here:

WPA3:
Note: The WPA3 firmware update for products marked "Planned" are not a guarantee. Firmware will only be added should resources and hardware allow. The compatible device list will be updated regularly and the information of planned models is only for reference; TP-Link reserves the right to modify this page at any time without notifying the user.

OneMesh:
Note: The OneMesh firmware update for products marked "Planned" are not a guarantee. Firmware will only be added should resources and hardware allow. The compatible device list will be updated regularly and the information of planned models is only for reference; TP-Link reserves the right to modify this page at any time without notifying the user.

That is unexpected indeed.

But not for Malaysia's version right? I remember someone said it's only for v1.0 but ours is v1.2

I saw both V1.0 and v1.2 being sold at my local pc shops last week. confused.gif

Can't be sure if v1.2 supports OneMess or WPA3 or not. hmm.gif

Hmmm....I never again trust TP-Link on delivering the promise until the company actually released the functionality.

Both listed and higher hardware versions of these models are compatible with OneMesh.


Next thing you know, they said "Archer AX20 V1 V1.20 support to be released" is just a "plan" again. dry.gif

Last time, they also claim AX50 = "WPA3 WILL BE AVAILABLE". rolleyes.gif

Guess how that turned out.

There were many times that TP-Link forced to "release" features on other routers.......EXTREMELY half-baked features with no further support just to satisfy the promise "Hey, we did released it". puke.gif
