Hi,

With the 1.1.1 Build 20250917 rel.63889(4555) firmware update for the Archer AX50, the 160 MHz option on the 5 GHz band disappears. Also, the bundled OpenVPN settings are dated and should be brought up to current best practices.

Remove/replace:

• cipher AES-128-CBC → switch to AEAD (AES-GCM).

• comp-lzo adaptive → compression is obsolete; remove it.

• float → not needed in most setups.

• remote-cert-tls server → replace with stricter name verification.

Add/update:

• data-ciphers AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM

• data-ciphers-fallback AES-128-CBC (optional legacy fallback)

• auth SHA256

• verify-x509-name server name

• Explicit remote <server_address> <port>

• verb 3 (reasonable logging)

Personal opinion:
It would also be a good idea for TP-Link to include OneMesh support in the Archer AX50, especially considering that lower-end models like the AX10 or AX20 already have it. This would make the AX50 lineup more consistent and appealing for users who want seamless mesh integration without downgrading to less powerful hardware.

Thanks
