Firmware not autoupdating?

Hello, i was posting a question on the forum the other day and noticed that there were newer firmware available for my router that hadn't been auto-updated. I know you can load them manually, and I did try unlinking my TP Link cloud account and relinking but that still didn't do it automatically. Any thoughts on other things to try to ensure the router is autoupdating firmware, or at least when you login to the router and click check for firmware updates it doesn't just say your running the latest version? I saw beta firmware was out for this router that would include additional VPN options, so i want to ensure my router gets that when its out of beta.
You have the first step of the OTA auto-update and that is to like your router to a TP-Link ID. After you do that follow these steps
Though to be honest if you are on a Beta Firmware I want to say that is the cause of the concerns. I believe Beta FW disable the auto-update, as they could be based on a lower build number.
@Carl My appologies, i probably was not being clear.
First, I'm not on beta firmware currently. I saw that beta firmware was released, and while I don't have any plan on installing beta firmware, I would like to get notification or have the router auto update to the newest firmware when that beta firmware moves into alpha release.
Second, I am on firmware version 1.2.4 20210719. When I review available firmware downloads for my router on TP-Links page (AX6000 Firmware) I see that there is a newer version of the firmware available (version 20211208). Howver, when I go to click on check for new firmware in my Routers admin page, it tells me im using the newest firmware.
I wasn't sure why it wasn't updating to the 20211208 version. I tried unlinking my account and relinking, but it didn't seem to help and I wasn't sure if, other than just downloading and updating the firmware myself manually, there was something else to try. I wasn't sure if there was some small difference with my router version that the updated firmware didn't apply to or what. But when they do release the alpha version of the beta firmware (Archer AX6000_V1.0_1.3.0 early release firmware (Updated on Dec 21, 2022)) I'd like to ensure im able to apply it since it has updates to the VPN section.
