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.

Its problem with the new firmware. USB storage in both mode Main and Sattlite.
(before that problem not existed)
When you unselect any folder on the disk usb storage, You no longer have access to disk to send files or make new folders. Always have to be all selected; if not, you don't have access or permission to send any data; it is only possible to download; you cannot upload. I sent to engineers that problem, but it seems they don't know what happen with it. Same bug appear in BE550v1 - but after install beta firmware become event worst, you loose totally connect with device storage usb.
Edit: i add video in attachment to download.
I connect me second AX55v1 alone with other disk and problem finally appear on Web-page router: Un-select sub-folder make all disk un-selected.

Thanks for your sharing.
I am afraid that what you described is normal, which was tested by our support engineers.
If you still have doubts about this, please provide your previous firmware and we can take further analysis.

Why is it always taking so long to release the EU version?
Version 1.3.1 has been available in CA/TW for a pretty long time and now there's version 1.3.2 which is US only.
Both versions are apparently(?) also compatible with EU devices, at least that's the general recommendation here in the forum.
So are they officially supported on EU devices?
If yes, why are they not released to all regions at the same time?
And if no, why does everyone here recommend to install it anyway?
I'm still running the beta version (1.2.6) from last year, waiting for an update. The beta version is generally working ok, but it's not the most stable and I'd really prefer to run an official version again.
But I also really don't want to manually update to an semi-offical version anymore. So far each time I did that, something went wrong and I spent at least an hour resetting devices and uploading firmware until everything was working again.
On the other hand, always having to wait several months until the EU version is finally released is also not great.

It is true that the 1.3.2 version works on the EU routers. In fact, if you download and unzip the file, its name starts with “ax55-v1-up-all-ver1-3-2”. I am using it on four AX55(EU) devices here.
The 1.3.2 version does have some documented issues and I imagine that the engineers want to solve these issues before releasing the firmware for the EU community. In fact, I envision the next firmware release will be 1.3.x where x will be a higher number than 2.
To explain this further, there is an issue with parental controls that you will find elsewhere on this forum. In addition, I personally have two other outstanding issues (one with access control lists and the other with device isolation) both of which the engineers are working on.
I would recommend upgrading from the older beta version to 1.3.2 as it is more stable with EasyMesh connections.
