I've seen this also, and I think it has just updated itself (from private to public) after some time, but I can't be positive about that.

Right. Take some pics of each page of the old one to ease configuring the new one. I also learned to copy/paste certain data and keep in a text file for such events.

It was easy to find - at the top of the list :)

Hey, @Ripshod , is that a V8 router you have?

Is UPnP enabled on the router?

How did you connect to it? How did you find the SSID and password?

Android Wi-Fi scanning apps require location permissions to do most things or give full info. So annoying. I think Windows is 'maturing' to be like other OS-es with app permissions. However, I too, think it is (or should be) bogus.

I've found that NVMe's are now often cheaper per GB than SATA III's. They may be overkill, but if $$ matters ...

Very much unexpected, but what do I know :D. My fiber ISP (that is thru my router) is like tgl's experience.

Wait a minute ... You are saying it broke after the router firmware was updated? Your first post did not mention that.

My computer is plugged into my pass-thru cable modem (so the PC has the WAN IP address). I did a traceroute to cnn.com and got: 10.180.x.x 172.30.x.x 10.16.x.x 10.16.x.x 10.16.x.x 68.66.x.x ... It took (5) hops before it hit a WAN IP address. How can this be? The first (or second at most)...

The confusion is simply that it says withdraw makes the router 'unable' to be upgraded, which is untrue since the manual firmware Upload workflow still works, but then it says (even though the router is now unable to be updated, mind you) ASUS can still update it. So is it unable to be updated...

Am I not comprehending or is there an actual contradiction/inconsistency in the ASUS Privacy Notice on the Admin > Policy tab? It says if I withdraw "may result in the inability to update to the latest firmware version and unable to receive the most up-to-date protection". How can that be? But...

I never claimed that LOL 🤣
