New firmware for Archer AX73 V2 1.1.1 Build 20241031 problem with Access Control and White list!
New firmware for Archer AX73 V2 1.1.1 Build 20241031 problem with Access Control and White list!
Today I updated my Archer AX73 V2 (EU) to the latest firmware 1.1.1 Build 20241031 rel.70279(4555) and I immediately noticed that there was a bug.
After updating to the latest version, the Access Control - Whitelist section no longer shows devices and gives the error Operation failed.
While I was on the previous firmware (1.1.0 Build 20240323), everything worked normally and devices were displayed and I had about 14 devices registered in the White list.
Also, now with the latest firmware, no device can be added or inserted into the White list, and as I said, it constantly throws the error Operation failed!
Have your engineers noticed this too, so please check it, attached is a picture...

Hi @zexoni70,
Thank you for your feedback.
May I know, did you try to reboot the router? Please also try to clear Browser Cache, or log in to the router via different browser.
Also, you can try to factory reset the router. If the issue persists, please collect the system log and send it to email support.forum@tp-link.com, attaching Forum ID 734364 and details, and we will have a dedicated person to assist in analysis and follow-up.

Dear @Joseph-TP
Yes, I've already reboot the router a few times and the same thing happens.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to do a factory default on the device because I have three other Archer C80s connected to it in an EasyMesh network with a lot of clients, so it would be inconvenient to leave all the clients without internet...
Wouldn't it be more logical for your engineers to try the same thing and make sure of what I'm saying, because before the update to the latest firmware everything worked perfectly and all clients in the White list were visible.
Because immediately after updating to the new firmware, the problem with the White list appeared and as I said, it still exists after several restarts of the AX73 device.
Best regards!

I tried with another browser and clear Browser Cache, but the problem with Operation failed still happens even when Access Control is disabled.
So it's definitely a problem in the latest firmware!

same problem here
i tried different browsers and computers
i also reboot the router
the problem still persists
it seems like something so simple to be checked within the TP Link test lab before releasing a new firmware
I hope that TP Link can diagnose and resolve it quickly, as the white list is an extremely important and necessary feature
a while ago I exchanged my 3 M5 decos for 3 AX73s to have this feature. I even suggest that the access list maintenance can be done through the cell phone app and not just through the browser.
it would help a lot.

TP-Link engineers solved the problem quickly (within two days) and sent me the Beta firmware (ax73v2_us-up-ver1-1-1-P1[20250113-rel65108]) by email because I wrote to them and they opened a ticket.
With that Beta firmware Whitelist is now working perfectly for me, and I expect that a new official firmware based on that Beta will be released on the website soon.
The picture is attached .
You just need to follow the download section for Archer AX73!
