Where to find update details?
My router is calling for an online update to Firmware Version 1.2.6 Build 20240619 rel.72016. It claims enhanced system stability and security, without adding any detail.
Where can I find details concerning the “enhanced system stability and security” claimed?

Hi. Thanks for replying. I thought there might be an associated CVE available.
If I find it necessary to downgrade after applying the update, do you have any suggestions as to how I might do this?

It's posts such as this, https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/681758 that cause me to be reluctant to install this update without good reason. Apart from that it appears to be for the EU, well outside my locale.
