I have been using c60 v2 for past two years without any issue. The new v3 version has MU-MIMO in it. Since MU-MIMO is a protocol and not a hardware feature, can I flash v3 firmware on my v2 router? Or is there any development in progress for an updated firmware of v2 having MU-MIMO option enabled?
"TP-Link Archer C60 v3 is a dual-band AC1350 router, based on Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9561 + QCA9886. It seems to be identical to the v2 revision, except that it lacks a WPS LED and has different GPIO for amber WAN LED."
"
In contrast to earlier revisions (v2), the v3 contains the (same) MAC address twice, once in 0x1fa08 and again in 0x1fb08. While the partition-table on the device refers to the latter, the firmware image contains a different partition-table for that region: name device firmware factory-boot 0x00000-0x1fb00 0x00000-0x1fa00 default-mac 0x1fb00-0x1fd00 0x1fa00-0x1fc00 pin 0x1fd00-0x1fe00 0x1fc00-0x1fd00 product-info 0x1fe00-0x1ff00 0x1fd00-0x1ff00 device-id 0x1ff00-0x20000 0x1ff00-0x20000.

Flashing FW for different HW version may brick your device so I wouldn't recommend doing that unless you decide to experiment at your responsibility.
