AFAIK the only difference from V1 model is switch to BCM6715X chip(pin to pin BCM43684)

Is there any plan or any info about it at all? like too busy, haven't had time to look at all or don't have any plan but it will definitely be included sometime this year or anything?

[gnuton]

@kchen7e I do have plans to support it by this year

Hi, I want to pull the trigger on the ax82u v2 but just want to confirm with you if you're still planning to support it by end of the year? Appreciate all your efforts across the project!

there is a beta available. there are still some issues which will be fixed once i get how to fix them.
I will close this issue since there is a dedicated issue on github related to work left on V2.
