I had disconnect issues with 1.31 for weeks - I have installed this and connection is solid again. My question however is if anyone here has yet implemented vpn client with either expressvpn or nordvpn? Asking as these are the two I am looking at but would welcome some feedback. Using ax11000, connected to virgin media super hub (hub is in modem mode) here in the uk.
@RobbieB50 Good to hear that the disconnect issue gets resolved with this early release version.
Regarding the VPN Client feature, this AX11000 can connect to most of the third-party VPN Servers such as ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Surfshark, Mullvad, Proton VPN, Private Tunnel, PIA, etc. There are plenty of users are using this already, you can check the discussion here.

Yes - I can confirm that ExpressVPN works without issue at the moment at least! I should add that it is OpenVPN mode as ExpressVPN no longer support pptp or l2pt anymore.

@Sepharine It looks like they have removed the early release version as its now fully available - or at least will be in the coming few days. So keep checking either here for the latest 2022 version or via firmware upgrade from the router itself.

@Sepharine The UK version still not available so I have used the EU version (I used the EU beta early release withouout issue). Been running great for several days now, and I have implemented ExpressVPN client too.

We have reminded the local web admin to update it, and you could check it later.

@Tukulstar28 Are you able to detect the new official firmware on the V1.26 hardware? If you can detect it, you can click on upgrade.
BTW, can you please show us the model and hardware version of your Archer AX11000? It seems I cannot find the V1.26 version on any website. Please mask the MAC and SN number for your own security before posting. Thank you.

Thank you very much for replying.
I have confirmed that you can install the latest official version on your Archer AX11000(US) V1.26 hardware. Please download the latest 1.3.2 version on the local website, then install it manually to see if the issue will be solved.
BTW, it seems the local website has not yet published the latest official version yet, we will make sure to remind them to update it soon. You can download the latest version from the US website or wait for the update on the local website.
