Release
Unknown
Why it is unknown: Linksys's online press room (linksys.com/blogs/press, 18 posts, all pages read) does not mention this model, its Linksys support page lists only the latest firmware, and its firmware release notes and older press releases (downloads.linksys.com, Business Wire) do not allow automated access, so no readable Linksys page gives a launch date. US FCC and Wi-Fi Alliance approval records gave no estimate either: neither allows automated access. (checked November 1, 2026)
