Security researchers recently disclosed a timing attack vulnerability (CVE-2025-1024) affecting older TLS implementations. Firmware Version Xw.v5.6.11 migrates from OpenSSL 1.1.1t to OpenSSL 3.0.12, deprecating weak ciphers (TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA) and enabling by default the more robust ChaCha20-Poly1305 for embedded devices. This patch also addresses the "Heartbleed-style" memory leak identified in the previous web management interface. Firmware Version Xw.v5.6.11

Flashing requires careful preparation. A failed upgrade can brick the device if power is interrupted. Firmware versions and other details of the current

For users operating within the Wi-Fi 7 or Wi-Fi 6E ecosystems, Xw.v5.6.11 introduces critical refinements to Multi-Link Operation. Previously, band steering was somewhat aggressive, causing older 2.4 GHz IoT devices to disconnect intermittently. This version implements a "smart fallback" timer, reducing disassociation events by an estimated 68% in mixed-environment tests. This patch also addresses the "Heartbleed-style" memory leak

This version was released around 2015–2016. Because it is quite old, it is often replaced by later updates like v5.6.15 or the newer airOS 6 (v6.x.x) series.
