January 23, 2025 at 12:31 pm #35470January 23, 2025 at 2:21 pm #35471I think there’s minimum support time vendors have to support them now by law – 5 years I think? But I would assume BQ16 will get the updates first and then they will filter their way down to the 10 and 8 some time after.

January 23, 2025 at 4:01 pm #35472ASUS will offer security update support to the networking products complied with UK PSTI(Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act) until the date specified below.
The PSTI came into affect on the 29th Apr 2024, 4 years is the requirement but ASUS do usually go beyond that.
Note: frequency of updates is a totally different scenario

January 23, 2025 at 4:16 pm #35473January 23, 2025 at 4:24 pm #35474Guarantee a typo form their perspective, ASUS are not dynamic in this area.
ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 was released in 2024, so support (firmware) should be to at least 2028.
