To test the client part of the router settings, adaptive layout and mobile application, it is enough to load one tester with work for no more than a month. You can not give the firmware assembly for a year. And this despite the fact that the router is one of the top products for B2C.
Beta testing on users is not respect for customers, so don't expect respect for yourself. If you continue to behave in relation to customers in this way, you will feel it on your own sales figures.

Hi.
The problem as you said is during netflix streaming. It looks like there is something that webOS doesnt like. Im loking to find another device running on webOS to test it further. I wonder if there is a firmware version that allows traffic monitoring within the network(something like wireshark or just debugging mode?) So i cann see on a packet level whats going on.

Aside from the 5 GHz problem and it becoming impossible to downgrade the firmware, version 1.3.0 also weakens the connection of 2.4 GHz devices.
For example my printer, which hitherto had a stable connection of around 65 Mbps on various firmwares, now has this (or less):
As I see your printer is 2.4Ghz. Maybe it is not obvious to some people but if You have USB 3 device attached to the port at your router then you should definitely check if it is a shielded device. Many USB 3 devices are causing a lot of interference in the 2.4 GHz band. Those devices should be shielded or connected through a shielded cable.

Thanks for your input.
I have heard of the shielding issue, but the problem happened whether I had anything connected to the USB ports or not.
In any case, this all went away with version 1.3.0 Build 20220517 rel.55480(4555) of the firmware from 18 May.
Cheers

Something is terribly wrong with the beta FW for the AX11000.
The strange symptoms i encounter is either when i use torguard or airvpn.
See picture:
This is a dutch webshop, this error appears on a Dutch VPN IP either on Torguard and AirVPN when i use a system wide NL VPN from the AX11000.
When is use the same IP from a windows pc i encounter no issues.
The openvpn version in the FW seems to be 2.4.11 while the current version is 2.5.7.
Any thoughts about this?
@Sepharine That's really weird. To assist and figure it out efficiently, I've forwarded your case to the TP-Link support engineers who will contact you with your registered email address later. Please pay attention to your email box for follow-up. Thank you.

When do you expect the firmware version v2 with vpn client function to be available?
@Neytview Are you referring to Archer AX11000 V2.0? As confirmed with the R & D engineers previously, the new firmware for AX11000 V2.0 is under development, and it will be available soon. Please keep an eye on the router web GUI or the TP-Link website for any updates.

Just a heads up...
For the past year or so, ever since the introduction of OneMesh for the AX11000 v1, I've successfully used two RE550 range extenders with the router in OneMesh mode exactly.
Now, however, on Beta firmware 1.3.0 Build 20220517 rel.55480(4555), both RE550s totally lose connection within a couple of days, and the only resolution is a reset, which is bothersome.
Since both units are experiencing the same problem, everything seems to point to the firmware.
My workaround has been to use two RE600Xs (excellent!) in OneMesh and one RE550 in AP mode, this way it doesn't get lost.

@Maciej Thank you for reporting the extender connection issue with the AX11000, I would certainly report this to the engineers and ask them to confirm. You can also report this feedback to them via email. Thanks.
