Should I update Firmware?

Hello,
even though I have no option to update firmware from the Tp-Link router web UI, should I do it anyway?
Router's Web UI says I'm fine... But apparently the dates from build are not that fine... 20210730
And yes, I have all tons of issues with speed, limited to 250-290Mbits down, UP is 500 as it should be (500/550 on ISP level), QoS switched off and bandwidth set, restarted many times, factory resseted many times, still without router running at full speed etc, so before I try something else, does anyone have an idea if I can simply download manually Firmware from usual page:
https://www.tp-link.com/cz/support/download/archer-ax50/#Firmware
and install this one? Archer AX50(EU)_V1_220526
My HW version says exactly: Archer AX50 v1.0
No EU or US or any region.
So... Can I install it and see if things improve? Or would that brick it?
Thanks for any ideas,
Petr
In general, if you try to update router's FW with FW release from another region, an error message should pop-up during the procedure.
The device bottom sticker would provide the details for HW version and the Region of your router:
I see that your browser has redirected you to the Czech support portal - you should have EU region FW on your AX50.
Having that in mind, you should be fine to manually update the FW with the Archer AX50(EU)_V1_220526 release.
