Anyone know if there'll be a Wifi-6 desktop WAP, e.g. an AP904?

As a lowly "home user" I have too much invested in Draytek kit (going back to the 2200 usb - not in use now ) to make jumping ship feasible - and is there another make which offers the features at anything like the price?
Would be good to know why UK support appear to be ignoring requests though, maybe the admins here have some insight?

From a router perspective, PfSense and some hardware like this:

Searching for pfsense hardware brings up lots to choose from for all budgets and internet connections. Ubiquity is another choice for off-the-shelf solutions

I've pondered using pfsense in the past. But having just bought a 2927ax this would absolutely do what I want it to do - if only it had the mesh capability of the 2927ac
At present it's sitting unused gathering dust. My own fault for not reading the small print before pressing "buy now".......

It will have Mesh capability with firmware 4.4.0. They're just working on a mesh compatibility problem with the ax routers right now, which is why the [Mesh] option is missing.

Hi I have a 2927ax running 4.4.0 and the mesh feature appears to be still missing. When will this be available?
Thanks
