    That's because this article was posted today in multiple media blogs like it was something brand new, no mention of it being corrected months ago (at least for us!).

    Diversion I'm confused, XT12, no USB = no Diversion?

    AX88U 386.x and 388.1, Ethernet connection dropping during large file transfers.

    AX88U 388.1. Has anything changed in the past two releases of Merlin Firmware or perhaps Windows 10 that might make it more difficult for older ethernet 1gb connected Windows 10 computers to stay connected to my home network during large file transfers? Routinely seeing one computer go offline...

    380.70 RT-N66U, Guest network allowing full access to home network?

    I thought a guest network connection was internet only? Enabling network discovery on a Windows 8 laptop connected as a guest (should be internet only) is showing all devices on my home network? Steve N2UBP

    I stumbled across this article after dinner tonight...

    I suspect Merlin was poked about this article so many times because you are what many including myself consider a Subject Matter Expert on Asus firmware. It means your opinion is well respected by the community.
