No new update in over a year. Check the maker’s support page for a newer one.
Minimum support period for the UK: the maker promises security updates for products sold in the UK until at least April 23, 2027. This is a legal minimum for that market, not an end date, and it may not apply to other markets.
The maker discontinued this model in the US on December 31, 2024. The maker’s policy says security updates usually end 3 years after discontinuation, so I estimate the end at December 2027. TP-Link end-of-life policy (opens in a new tab)
