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!

@Kevin_Z Уроды вы продаете роутеры с кучей ошибок и обновления ах53 v1 обещаного так и не пришло. Это последний роутер вашей отвратительной организации. Вас надо запретить во всех цивилизованных странах и пусть все забудут о мусоре от бракованой организации tplink.
Пора всем отказаться от ваших роутеров и пользоватся рабочими. Надеюсь за ваш иу6сор вас затягают по судам

I too am on the same boat waiting for the AX80 US firmware. OneMesh appearing instead of EasyMesh on the tether app is quite annoying since it's been over a year without a fix, not to mention 5Ghz channel and channel width from main router not populating to the satellite router via wired ethernet backhaul whereas wireless backhaul populates perfectly fine.

I was stuck with the “getting kicked out after a few seconds” bug when trying to access the admin panel of my Archer AX53 (EU v1). I was on firmware 1.4.4 and the OTA upgrade to 1.5.1 always failed.
I manually downloaded and installed firmware 1.5.4 Build 20250926, and it immediately fixed the logout issue. https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/archer-ax53/v1/#Firmware

Settings were not wiped

Manual upload via web UI worked fine, I was kick out of the admin screen the first time trying at the upload firmware state, but second time was quicker and it worked fine (I used Brave browser with LAN cable)

Hope this helps others with the same issue. Make sure to back up your settings first just in case.

@Kevin_Z That definitely sounds like a firmware-related UI bug. I'd try clearing the browser cache, testing the interface in an incognito window or a different browser, and if that doesn't help, checking whether TP-Link has released a newer firmware or a rollback option. Hopefully they fix it soon. By the way, I recently looked at the Hawaiian Bros Island Grill Tucson menu—those island-style chicken plates and sides look like a great reward after spending hours troubleshooting networking issues!
