Searching for firmware FW_RT_AC88U_300438648313

[scottmen]

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a firmware version for an Asus RT-AC88U AiMesh router. Unfortunately, Asus support has been unreachable since Sunday. Does anyone on the forum perhaps have the following firmware and could send it to me?

Thank you for your replies.

(You will need to copy the link and paste it in a browser for the link above to work.)

FYI, there's a newer firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_48322 for RT-AC88U on ASUS' website.

Thanks for the link, but the website is down.

Does anyone know when Asus support will be back online?

Asus site on that first link is working fine. Click "show all" on that page and the firmware you want is listed and downloadable.

Not for myself and others site is up and working fine. Try using a different DNS server to resolve the URL request. Or try using VPN to a different country. Copy and paste the following URL into a web browser.

Confirming no issues from North America (Canada) and Europe (Spain) ISP providers. Something is wrong with your connection or in your location. Just have some patience until fixed or check your equipment.

Try a different country then and see if you can reach the site. All of these worked.
United States:
https://www.asus.com/us/networking-...rs/rt-ac88u/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AC88U
Australia:
https://www.asus.com/au/networking-...rs/rt-ac88u/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AC88U
France:
https://www.asus.com/fr/networking-...rs/rt-ac88u/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AC88U
Italy:
https://www.asus.com/it/networking-...rs/rt-ac88u/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AC88U

Or as previously suggested use a VPN end point in another country if its a localized issue.

Hi everyone, I was able to fix the firmware problem by installing the correct firmware. I'm still working on the DNS server issue and need to find out why I can't access the Asus support server.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR QUICK HELP!!!
