Identify the affected asset
Confirm whether TP-Link Systems Inc. Archer BE230 v1.2, Archer AXE75 v1, archer be230 firmware is installed, record the deployed version and installation path, and identify exposed interfaces.
- Record the product name, package or appliance identifier, and installed version.
- Identify internet-facing, administrative, API, and internal access paths.
- Preserve the pre-change configuration and relevant service logs.
Validate the affected-version match
Compare the deployed version with the affected range: < 1.2.4 Build 20251218 rel.70420, < 1.5.6 Build 20260623, < 1.2.4. Treat incomplete inventory results as unresolved.

Verify the result
Confirm the resulting version, service health, authentication and access paths, monitoring coverage, and relevant security logs.
- Confirm the expected version and package state.
- Run a functional health check for critical service paths.
- Review authentication, error, application, and security monitoring logs.
- Reassess exposure if the supported fix cannot be applied.
