I would imagine the reason it was taken down entirely was due to the reasons myself and a few others have reported - under some circumstances, it is deleting and resetting WAN port settings killing internet connectivity - especially on remote managed sites

@Vincent-TP Aren't the two firmwares incompatible? So backing up the config files will be useless?

Quick question: is the FW still suspended or safe to use now? Controller shows me this version as update but have not seen any unblock notification in the forum (perhaps overlooked).
Thanks & Br's

Thanks! Was unsure due the problem mentioned re. ISP login credentials on different sites. Exactly my use case.
Will give it a try then.

So far I haven't encountered any problems since I applied the firmware.
I must admit that I'm really enjoying this new experience.
I decided to abandon the software on my computer to use an OC200 controller. When I realized that it didn't have what was in the software, I was very disappointed and even tried to understand.
I saw a post that made my eyes shine and my hope was greatly rekindled when I saw someone from TP-Link respond that they were working internally to make one of the features available, DPI.
When I was browsing the forum a little after 10/28, I came across this post and in the notes I saw a bunch of new features including DPI. Ask me how I felt? Like a child and super happy with TP-Link's competence.
I didn't have much time to assess the wonders introduced in the product, but I really must congratulate them.
I would like to make two suggestions for the OC200:
1- Storing logs on a USB flash drive - I see that the product saves logs locally and that this ends up being somewhat limited due to space constraints. Is it possible to enable the storage of logs on a USB flash drive?
2- I see in the logs that the TCP SYN attack blocks are effective. However, I cannot identify the device that is generating these attacks.
Ex.: 2024-11-07 17:11:13 DEVICE WARNING [gateway:ROUTER:00-00-00-00-00-00] Detected TCP SYN packets attack and dropped 101 packets.
Is it possible to do something to identify the source in the log itself? I would really like TP-Link to provide this information in the logs.
Now I have a question.
What are these Webhooks? I still don't understand what they are for, but the idea sounds very similar to APIs.
