Firmware not listed anywhere Beware
After installing this firmware using the web UI a pop-up prompted me to change my password. I did not initiate a password change at anytime using the web UI. The pop-up displayed a 6 character password that I didn't initiate so I declined.
This router is only used for tp link cameras and only has an online connection when tethered to cellular to initiate a time sync for the cameras.
BEWARE! This firmware.

Thanks for contacting our community.
Has the router returned to stable operation? Has the abnormal password display reappeared?
If not, we suggest you continue to observe for a while. If it reappears, please record your screen or take a screenshot, and contact your local support with error message for further assistance.

The firmware was reflashed back to:
TL-WR1502X(US)_V1_1.1.0 Build 20250416
I have taken the router out of operation. I have ordered a competitors router to replace.
I have also reported this to my CISA representative in District 9.
The router when in use was in a remote location, the closest Wifi hotspot in use is 1000 meters away. At the time of the incident that hotspot was located in Northern California due to being installed in a Transport vehicle.
A cellular connection was initiated to check for updates on Tp-link cameras and the router indicated it had new firmware for download. Like I mentioned I use the router for camera time syncs. The mentioned firmware with the problem would not time sync with - use controlling device activated and when the password change prompt pop-up. I have never noticed a pop-up interface using the Web UI ever.
