Likely to address https://www.snbforums.com/threads/malware-damaging-asus-routers.92752/. RT-AC66U hit EOL sometime in 2021 yet it got some updates in 2024: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/rt-ac66u/helpdesk_bios/. See 2021 snapshots of...

After a Comcast outage last night, I noticed my RT-AX5400 (auto firmware updates are on) got into a weird state where it seemed like it partially lost its settings. Got a "welcome" screen, asking me to name my wi-fi networks (I have 2.4 and 5 ghz split into two SSIDs), etc. After some power...

I don't know but don't get one on the earlier side of these lists: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1051375/ https://www.asus.com/us/support/faq/1051929/

As I said, there's no guarantee that Asus will just EOL/stop shipping security updates once those dates pass but at least it seems they have legal obligations in the UK to do so until those published dates.

Anyone still looking for a replacement should probably avoid the ones in the 1st section of the doc I found and posted at https://www.snbforums.com/threads/duration-of-security-update-support-only-for-uk-article.90012/.

The other day while looking around for stuff about the RT-AX5400 routers I recently bought (one for work, one for home), I stumbled across https://www.asus.com/us/support/faq/1051929/ dated May 7, 2024. Unfortunately, the only one with "4 years (until 31th December 2028)" is the RT-BE88U which...

^^^ Yep, but the polarity must be correct and the plug must fit too.

And, as the other thread mentioned, RT-AC87U is now on https://www.asus.com/event/network/eol-product/ so "Its firmware, utility, website, DM, QSG and manual will not be updated".

Not that this helps but GT-AC5300 has hit EOL per https://www.asus.com/event/network/eol-product/.

FWIW, the RT-AX5400 is still $129.99 USD at Amazon after the Asus Amazon sale ended. RT-AX82U is $149.99 USD. I received the RT-AX5400 a few days ago so I only recently got it up and running. Seems fine so far. It replaces the RT-AC68U I was using which hit EOL. At work, I also have an...

Indeed. OP should look at https://www.asus.com/event/network/eol-product/. I wouldn't buy anything that has hit EOL stage.

(thread resurrection) On this note, RT-AX56U_V1, RT-AC88U, RT-AC3100, RT-AC5300 are all now on https://www.asus.com/event/network/eol-product/.

For those in the US, on Asus's site I was getting an ad about Asus week or something like that. It led me to https://www.amazon.com/b?tag=snbforums-20. The WiFi section lists a bunch of units on sale including the RT-AX5400 I ordered for $129.99 USD. Today, I found , so it seems this sale...

Yep. https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rt-ax5400/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AX5400 says: "ASUS RT-AX5400 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22093 .. 2023/01/04 Initial firmware release"

Hmm... that's a little bit troubling then (in terms of possible support length). From https://www.asus.com/supportonly/rt-ax82u/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AX82U, there is this: "ASUS RT-AX82U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384.9261 ... 2020/05/22 Initial release" Crossing my fingers that the...
