Important: After installing this firmware, we strongly recommend performing a factory-default reset to activate every new security adjustment.

Security Enhancements:
– Password Policy Upgrade – Minimum of 10 characters, including at least one letter, one digit, and one special character; disallows consecutive identical characters; hardens defense against brute-force attacks.
– HTTPS on 8443 – Management interface now served over TLS by default.
– UPnP Disabled – Universal Plug and Play starts in the off state for reduced surface exposure.
– AiCloud Authentication Hardening (CWE-287) – Added layered verification.
– Authentication Logic Refactor – Removed redundant code paths for a lean sign-in flow.
– Memory Safety Guard (CWE-476) – Introduced null-reference protections across critical services.
– Enhanced IPsec Parameter Validation – The existing input checks have been hardened.
– Data Exposure Mitigation (CWE-200) – Reinforced controls on sensitive pathways.
– Detailed Audit Trails – Expanded logging within the authentication module.

System Improvements:
– AFC Channel Priority – Raised the selection priority to increase the likelihood of switching to Standard Power mode.
– AFC Positioning Data Handling – Resolved an error where invalid location inputs blocked AFC activation.
– AFC Retry Logic – Adjusted retry behavior to avoid interference with normal AFC operations.
– Connection Stability – Core algorithms refined for steadier links.
– Scheduling Accuracy – Timed tasks execute reliably under PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP WAN modes.
– Client List Maintenance – Resolved an issue that prevented offline devices from being removed from the client list.
