Yes, if your router is the original version (not V2) with an FCC ID of MSQ-RTAX8D00.

The Asus firmware contains two different firmware images for the different hardware versions.

So, will be correct, I can use this FV.

I consider change FV because Asus firmware after 27 days without restarts has two problems:
- increase uses processors from 3-5% to 30-50% (Permanently in use).
- lost free RAM
All problems I send to Support (log and describe) and described in SMB forums in "ASUS TUF-AX5400 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285".

What is difference between version V1 and V2?
