Technical Support for Routers

I'm trying to find the 4.x user guides for the Mango and Shadow. I found user guides other models, but not for these two.

See: Overview - GL.iNet Router Docs 4

Hello,

We will update the docs 4.x for Mango and Shadow when the v4.5 (or newer) firmware releases.
They are coming soon. Please wait a while.

Iā€™m trying to figure out how to make a simple Access Port or Wifi Extender with 4.3.18 on a Shadow. Without documentation it is very confusing on how to set it up and what ports to use.

On the lack of a user guide: I bet that the Shadow and Mango are two of the most popular routers made by GL iNet that are still being sold today. The 4.x firmware has been out for well over a year, and to not have user manuals for it for these products shows that GL iNet really does not support their current products, even their bestsellers.

I noticed your edit about changing the firmware version from 4.6 to 4.5 before bothering to release the User Guide. Too bad that GL iNet reneged on the promised 4.6 upgrade for these routers. I hope that since all the new routers are getting 4.7, that GL iNet can get someone in engineering and documentation to finish up 4.5 for those of use who supported GL iNet in the past.
