Yes. Less than 24 hours ago I was given the following information from
a customer service rep from tplink:

Adam Longwill09:10:01 pm downgrading does not work
 I get an 18005 errror
 upon attempting to downgrade
 I want to know if this is because of the FCC's rules regarding
broadcast strength and DFS control. Has TP-Link complied with these
rules and locked down its firmware and if so, for what models
 I need to know if I am going to continue purchasing devices from you.
  
 Camille09:13:25 pm wait one moment please
 Thanks for your waiting, right now only these products has limitation
on firmware: Archer C7 V2 Archer C1900 V1 Touch P5 V1 Archer C2600 V1
Archer C3200 V1 Archer C2 V1 Archer C5 V2 Archer C8 V1 Archer C9 V1
TL-WR841N V11 TL-WDR3500 V1 TL-WR940N V3.0 TL-WR1043ND V3.0
TL-WR710N(USA) TL-WR841N V9.0
 and all products will also limite firmware in the future.
   
    Adam Longwill09:26:19 pm Wow. Thank you. I'm impressed with
your digging
 And this limitation is due to FCC rule clarifications in 2015?
 And not some other reason
 
  Camille09:28:15 pm Right, due to FCC
  
 Adam Longwill09:28:50 pm Thank you very much. Can you explain why the
WDR3600 appears to be locked down? Is it possible that your list is not
totally updated?
 And do you have a method or avenue that people who wish to use other
firmware have?
  
 Camille09:34:02 pm Yes, wdr3600 as dual band wifi router, is also
locked down. And there is no other way to use other firmware. Sorry for
that
    
 Adam Longwill09:34:19 pm Thank you very much, Camille. You've been
very helpful

Sorry for the formatting, I'm on mobile.

I'm very interested in what we, as a community, can do to ensure we can
continue to build our networks.

Dear fellow meshas,

we are searching, if there is a proof that manufacturers already
locking down to follow the EU 2014/53 or FCC?

The result is that alternative software cannot be flashed, even if they
stated in the guideline that this was not the goal?
An article or spec or something?

Thanks a lot, Monic

PS: ETSI has the standard for DRM on SDR-Modules nearly finished …
one said to me, but I don’t have more infos at the moment.

List of TPlink routers that cannot be reflashed due to FCC rules:
http://is.gd/HPrGgu as confirmed by a tp-link service rep.

Some folk are trying to turn the recent glibc bug into a meta-argument
for source to critical infrastructure:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/+AlanCoxLinux/posts/4WwDBRq5A9F

(although many are using a different libc, which does not appear to be
vulnerable - it does however, have less eyeballs on it)

Dan Gillmor also had a good piece today:

http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2016/02/tech_reviews_should_assess_gadget_app_security_and_privacy.html?wpsrc=sh_all_dt_tw_ru

I keep wondering what mudge is up to. I LIKE the U/L insurance bet 
idea.


and it would be nice to find some forum (medium? circleid?) for
debating the mandates we'd outlined in the wifi vs fcc letter.
