New Features/Enhancements

1.Add support for ECO mode ( on Advanced->System->ECO Mode page).

When working in Power-Saving Mode or Ultra Power-Saving Mode, your router will reduce the power consumption to save power, please note that your network speed and coverage will be reduced as well.

2.Add support for DoH/DoT(on Advanced->Network->Internet page).
                                                   
3.Add Tap Mode in OpenVPN Server(on Advanced->VPN Sever ->OpenVPN page).

TAP mode, short for "Ethernet Bridging" is a network technology that enables the bridging of two or more network segments into one virtual network. With the integration of TAP mode into your OpenVPN server, your AX55 router now has the ability to work as a bridge between multiple local networks, creating a seamless and unified network experience.
