Hello,
When connecting to the openVPN server running on this router using 'OpenVPN connect' app on android, app now reports TLS version on server is too low.
I can connect via setting the app option to 'allow insecure connections', which permits older TLS versions, however the fact the router runs an insecure version is concerning.
Are more firmware updates due?
Would be such a shame to have ditch the router for this, as it is just SUPERB and holds my fibre connection stable for months and has been every-bit-as-solid as my last Broadcom based Billion router.
8900AX R2 - insecure TLS version?

Re: 8900AX R2 - insecure TLS version?
Thank you! Success!
That is a more recent version than listed in the 'announcements' section.
With OVPN cliet set to 'legacy' rather than 'insecure' I seem to be able to connect without problem, so that's fine.
The client set to 'prefered' it complains about server using compression (perhaps I need to turn of IZO compressions). Anyhow, legacy works so all good.
Ironically, my router had it's first problem the other day, with DNS simply not working whatever DNS I used. (IP addresses worked fine).
My spare 8900 with identical settings was fine. Gave me chance to flash router with the file you provided and back to factory, and all working again. Never did identify the problem.
Thanks again.
