    ASUS router features powered by Trend Micro. Do you turn them on and agree to have your data collected?

I'm usually not enthusiastic about having my browsing history shared with any third party. When you don't agree to the above (which is what...

    Why my router's WAN IP is different than my Public IP?

    Thank you for that, this is I never heard of so thanks for bringing this to my attention. That's why they are charging an extra $10/month for a fixed IP I don't need a fixed IP, I'm good with a dynamic IP but it needs to be a public IP. That's something they left out in their service...

    Live, manual, Rescue mode restoration not working to update firmware Asus RT-AX55

    Quick update, I tried in rescue mode, WAN cable disconnected and I set computer IP address to 192.168.50.7 and I got the same invalid IP address. I tried 192.168.50.1 and again invalid IP address. This was using another PC. I figured I would try the Manual WEBGUI method again with another PC...

    Hi everyone, I've been trying to update my firmware without success since yesterday, I really don't understand how every single method doesn't work. My router is currently running the factory fw version 3.0.0.4.386_45375 I recently noticed on the Asus' support page that my router had received...
