Hello,

Thank you for your reply.
Could you please tell me where on the TP-Link website it states that the Archer AX50 is compatible with EasyMesh? I would like to verify that information, as I haven’t found it listed among the EasyMesh-supported devices.

I’m also attaching an image showing that neither Smart Connect nor EasyMesh are enabled on my router, so the 160 MHz option should not be affected by those settings.

Regarding the OpenVPN client, the available options are actually found under the VPN Server section of the router, not the client. Therefore, I’m unable to modify or reconfigure it as suggested.

Thank you for your assistance.

The VPN works correctly, but the configuration loaded by the router is outdated. I’m requesting the developers to update these parameters to newer and more secure standards.

Regarding the 160 MHz option, it disappeared after updating the router to the latest version; in previous versions, it could be selected without any issue.

I leave all settings at the TP-Link defaults. If the 160 MHz option has disappeared, it’s due to the router firmware update, not because I enabled anything.

  @Alohomora Agree, the channel width of 160MHz has disappeared after this firmware update. It is simply not available in the mobile app or the browser.

Other bug is that smart life assitant appear in english but no in spanish:

In spanish:

  @ElToroBenito yup, 160mhz witdh is gone, this was the main reason i bought this router, and without this option i can toss it in the trash...

Hi

The main reason for choosing 160 MHz is that a wider channel can provide higher wireless throughput and better overall performance. I understand it can be more prone to interference since it uses more spectrum, but in my case the environment is relatively clean, so the benefits in speed and latency clearly outweigh the potential drawbacks.

That said, I have to admit some disappointment. TP-Link is a well-established brand with years of experience, and decisions like removing existing features without prior notice are quite frustrating.

On a different note, I would also like to report a small design concern: right before logging into the router’s web interface, it is possible to change the router’s language from the login page. This option should ideally be available after logging in, not before. Otherwise, anyone with access to the local network could change the interface language, overriding the administrator’s preferred setting.

Finally, I’ve noticed that some Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) devices do not automatically reconnect to the wireless network after being disconnected or restarted. It would be great if your technical team could review this behavior, as it may indicate a compatibility or firmware issue.
