    Ac68U broken antennas. Can it be fixed, or is aliexpress or ebay ok?

    How do you keep breaking them off? Can you place the router in a slightly safer location?

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51733 (2025/03/10)

    No. It's just very unusual. I can only guess this is similar enough to a supported model that they can do this easily?

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51733 (2025/03/10)

    This is weird. Why non-security updates for a device that is supposedly EOL?

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51722 (2024/11/26)

    Is it just me, but did the update seem faster than normal? I updated from the April update (51685?) I update "manually" from a downloaded file. It seemed to be back up and running by the time the progress bar was around 60% or so. The icon support is nice. I saw one I had tried to update was...

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51720 (2024/11/13)

    Looks like these updates were across most all devices. I guess they thought it was enough of a security threat and easy to update that they went ahead and did it.

    Should I replace my RT-AC68U?

    I have Comcast which is rated 500/20, although should test to 600/24. On my Pixel 8, I can get into the mid-upper 400's. (and nearly the full 600/24 on a wired computer.) I do have AiProtection and many other stuff turned off, so the router is running about as basic as possible.

    Anyone noticed leds not working on their device?

    I think I have seen posts that they tend to get dimmer and dimmer. On my 68U, the ones that tend to be on most all of the time are dimmer than one for a port that is only occasionally used. Little hard to tell from this picture, but the port 2 LED is actually much brighter than the others.

    router.asus.com stopped working | 4G-AC86U

    Depending on the model, there are multiple options for the local GUI: router.asus.com www.asusrouter.com www.asusnetwork.net There was awhile where some force HTTPS list in Firefox blocked router.asus.com. The Android Firefox on my phone no longer works with router.asus.com for some reason, but...

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51685 (2024/04/15)

    This is a sign of wider coverage of the issues and updates. Hopefully, some of this info might trickle down a bit to tech feeds of more regular news services.

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51685 (2024/04/15)

    Just a note that Ars Technica has an article about the Asus vulnerabilities. https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/06/high-severity-vulnerabilities-affect-a-wide-range-of-asus-router-models/

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51685 (2024/04/15)

    Maybe it just moved. Here is where I found it. https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rtac68u/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RTAC68U

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51685 (2024/04/15)

    I hope this was a joke. That activity would have no effect on such short-range transmissions.

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51685 (2024/04/15)

    Other than auto update not working, does this update seem to be OK?

    RT-AC68U - Issues and problem with upgrading firmware

    I have auto-update disabled on mine, but it still seems to go through the motions every day around 3AM CDT. No errors though. It just says No Update Needed. I wonder if, being EOL, they moved something to a different folder that the router cannot find?
