Phenomenon Description:
We've received feedback from users indicating that after updating the router's firmware to the version mentioned above, the web interface page will not display correctly and most menus become invisible when logged into the page. When this happens, all devices connected to the router continue to connect to the internet without issue.
Workaround/Solution:
We understand that this situation can be frustrating. Please be assured that we have prioritized this concern, and our team is actively investigating to identify and resolve the underlying cause as quickly as possible.
As a workaround, please try changing the Mode of your web browser to Light Mode to see if the web interface page of the router displays correctly as expected.
For Google Chrome, navigate to the three-dot option and click on Settings > Appearance > Mode, choose Light:
For Firefox, you can find the Mode settings as below:
You should find similar settings for your browser to change the mode. If you're not sure how to modify these settings, please Google online or feel free to let me know.
Thank you very much for your feedback and cooperation!

@quellenform Thanks for the code, it works! I'm using the User JavaScript and CSS extension for Google Chrome. If anyone is having trouble, here's a quick CSS tweak: * { background: gray !important; }. It's not fancy, but it works on every browser.

Hi community,
Anyone is facing this issue, cannot login as well after upgrade to the latest version on ax53? Although change the browser to light mode fix the UI issue but I still cannot login via web UI neither using my local pass nor using Tplink account. Tether app still login fine
