Short feedback and conclusions so far about the new firmware of the Archer BE550. After testing the new firmware 1.1.2 Build 20250317 rel.18331(4555) extensively over the past few days, as far as I could, and not having detected any bugs or unusual behavior with the router, I'm currently very satisfied. Therefore, my thanks to the development team in the background and to you @Kevin_Z.
There's only one thing that still bothers me, but I know that it's unlikely to change anytime soon, and that's the certificate error when accessing the router's web interface via https. 
@GrenSo I'm more than happy to hear that.

Do you refer to the concerns reported on other models that when you try to access the router web GUI via its IP address (192.168.0.1), it will redirect you to tplinkwifi.net? I cannot say for sure whether or when this will be optimized in all router firmware, but this was forwarded to the development team a long time ago, and I thought it had been optimized.

No, that's not exactly what I mean. Rather, when I access the web GUI locally (I always use the router's IP address), I get a certificate error. In Chromium, it's "NET::err_cert_authority_invalid," and in Firefox, it's "SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER."
Yes, I know, you can make the appropriate changes in your browser, but I don't think that's in the best interest of the average user without prior knowledge of the topic.
