Hello@Niojar ,
Please check whether your version is the US or EU version. It's generally recommended to use the firmware from your local official website.
Alternatively, you can check for new firmware on the Firmware Update page. If there is no new firmware, it's recommended to wait for a subsequent firmware update.

Dear Joseph!
I have an Archer AX53 v 1.0 (EU) router.
I am from Ukraine.
Today, I received a notification in Tether that new firmware V1_1.5.1 Build 20250721 is available. However, there is no information about the new firmware on the official website for my country, Ukraine!
https://www.tp-link.com/uk-ua/support/download/archer-ax53/v1/#Firmware
My question is: Can I install the new firmware via the update page in the Tether app, or should I wait until the firmware becomes available on the official website of my country?

If you can detect the firmware update normally on the router's web interface or app, you can upgrade with confidence. This is a push notification for the official firmware.
If the update hasn't been released on the official website yet, it's usually because the website staff haven't checked the release button yet. I'll report this to the relevant department, and thank you for your feedback.
However, after the firmware update, you may encounter the web interface menus becoming invisible. We recommend disabling dark mode in your browser. For more information, please refer here.
If you mind this minor anomaly, you can choose not to upgrade the firmware yet and keep the existing firmware and settings.
Thank you.
