Hi guys, I found that the RE500 and RE650 were in the supported list but I couldn't find the RE550. This device here... https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/range-extender/re550/
Will the RE500 process work for the RE550?
Thanks
Never attempt to apply a firmware for a different device.

Thanks, of course I wouldn't normally. The RE500 is AC1750 and the RE550 is AC1900 so was thinking maybe it's the same hardware for the most part.
Even if it was, there's no guarantee it'd work.
Find out what's inside, and we'll know if it's supportable.
Another interested party here.
RE550 Ver.10
There's a summarized info sheet on this wiki here: TP-LINK RE550 - TechInfoDepot (shoutwiki.com)

seems to match https://fccid.io/TE7RE550
But a 4/64mb device is never going to be supported.

especially as the whole SOC isn't supported either (with very little chance for that to change, nor to get xDSL drivers).
That's a shame, but thanks for checking though
Thanks for letting us know
