UPDATE
after reading through https://community.netgear.com/t5/c-ejquo23388/AX6000+WiFi+Mesh+Router+%252528SXR80%252529/pd-p/SXR80
it seems netgear have EOL this product which is a shame as its absolutely fantastic!
Lets hope DD-WRT, Merlin or similar pickup the product and build better firmware.

Are you referring to this post? https://community.netgear.com/t5/c-ejquo23388/AX6000+WiFi+Mesh+Router+%252528SXR80%252529/pd-p/SXR80
If so, I have tried to search for a reliable source of information to confirm that. When googling "SXK/R/S80 EOL" I am not able to find any website/statement by NETGEAR that would indicate that SXK80 has been abandoned/discontinued.
There is a firmware beta that is being tested now (4.3.1.100?). And I have seen some posts on this forum stating that the next stable version is scheduled to be released end of July 2023 (today I suppose, or it might be delayed). Here is one thread discussing the beta firmware and release date: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Pro-WiFi-for-Small-Business/SXK80-Satellites-turn-pink-as-soon-as-I-use-VLAN-tagged-network/m-p/2324134Here is another thread where the upcoming firmware release is discussed. According to this post by BruceGuo it is scheduled to be released by mid-August: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Pro-WiFi-for-Small-Business/CVE-issues-with-SXR80/m-p/2322422#M6135
