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.
