    How to remove all malware?

    As far as we know, the VPNFilter malware doesn't currently put ASUS routers at risk, but the FBI believes it was created by a Russian state-sponsored cyber espionage group, so we can assume attackers are gunning for all SOHO routers.

    how to set up RT TimeMachine server?

    Does Time Machine work reliably on ASUS RT-AC3200? Where are complete setup instructions? I'm running ASUS stock firmware 3.0.0.4.378_4980 but will switch to Asuswrt-Merlin if that makes TM reliable (and the inactive-disk spindown feature would be a huge plus). Custom-config-files mentions...
