Update: Downloadable files have now been removed from the Linksys site.

Router manufacturer Linkys I've always played catchup. Eero when it comes to addition HomeKit support for their routers, namely HomeKit secure router (HSR) functionality. However, according to Reddit u / missbootleg the latest firmware for the company's line Wifi 6 routers is now released - albeit unofficially - adding HSR support for the first time to some of their WiFi 6 routers.

The new update covers MX4000 series, MX4000 series, AX4200 series, again MX4200C and MX4050 series, although it seems that this has not yet been officially announced by the company, because in order to get the relevant download for the models mentioned above, you have to go through a few circles to get these updates, which starts with login to the web interface of the company.

Although there seems to be no restriction on downloading the relevant firmware update right now, it might be wise to wait for the download to be automatically available through the Velop app, which doesn't seem to need a companion update for the firmware in the routers. to work. The firmware number, dated May 19, 2021, is v1.0.9.206360, which according to the release notes, contains general bug fixes, he adds application prioritization support, and adds support for HomeKit.

This is a continuation of the company that added HomeKit support to Wifi 5 routers at the end of last year.
