From a previous post of mine, I know the UK V1 AX55 can use the TW/CA firmware but please could the UK version of the website be updated with the latest firmware? Currently, it's still showing the latest version V1_1.2.3. This is now quite out of date. I have been using V1_240129 TW version for a long time without issue and now have applied V1_1.3.3 TW firmware manually (as checking for firmware updates in the web interface showed it as "up to date").

Hi, please do not worry.

If the 1.3.3 version is good, it will be released officially then you can check it on your local website.

When will the owners of top models like AX80 expect an equally interesting expansion of functionality?

The last official firmware update for the stable version of the TP-Link Archer AX55 ver.1.0 router was on December 26, 2023, according to the Polish TP-Link website. This is concerning because such old firmware likely has unpatched vulnerabilities. Almost 8 months have passed. I understand adding new features, but I believe that patching security vulnerabilities should be the top priority. When will the premiere version of the firmware be released? Because I don't know whether to update to the pre-release version or wait a while? Sorry for my poor English—I am using Google Translate.

Hi, sorry. Our developers only provided the pre-release version for Archer AX55 V1/1.6 at the moment.

We will publish here in the community if there is beta or pre-release software for other models~

Hi, sorry.  I don't have any specific details that I can share around if this feature can come to the model, or when it might.

You may start a vote here, then we will record your feedback and deliver it to the related team. Thank you~

Hi, it is ok. I can understand what you mean. Whether you have problem using this router or not, it is suggested to test this 1.3.3 version. Then welcome to feedback us if any problem happens on the router. If no obvious bug or security vulnerabilities, I believe the official firmware will be released based on this.
