@INTRASERVERNET I've logged in to my router and had a quick check with mine and its the same as what I've got. Had this firmware since release and been running great for me and what I've been using it for:
3 PC's (Ethernet)
iPhone14 and S24
2 PS5's (Ethernet)
2 Firetablets
Nvidia Shield Pro (Ethernet)
5 FireSticks (Ethernet)
Various other Wi-Fi things all at once but all good.
Also using AX73 as a Satelite mesh with ethernet backhaul.
I've been very happy with this router.

This firmware appears to have a bug in the Norwegian translation, it is showing Dutch (?) in some places. Btw, i have wifi7 currently disabled as I don't have any such clients...

Same issue here, one of my devices (Tado internet bridge) that's connected to the internet via ethernet has stopped working, it is also confirmed to be 10mbps half duplex which was working until I upgraded today to 1.1.1, so now I can't control any of my smart heating anymore as I have no idea how to connect this device to internet now. Why? When will this be fixed or reverted?

What's worse I can't even downgrade the firmware to get it working again, I'm literally stuck with no way to access my heating because engineering decide to try to fix something that's not broken cmon guys...
