when you do a check for firmware in the router and click on the new version (without installing it of course) this shows up, oddly though i don't see anything on the support pages about this newer version. and no, i haven't tried it.

I am unable to update my 2 nodes. Do you have a local copy that you can upload. I was only able to update the main router from the router IP address.

Strange ... I updated my router and node from the web interface, no problem ...
 
Any issues with the update so far?
I didn't have any problems. I pressed one "Refresh" button in the web interface of the router, and both the router and the node were updated at once. Then the router demanded to manually turn off and turn on the router and the node...
The "Google Assistant" item has appeared in the application "ASUS Router" on the smartphone in the settings. But he requires to open access to a remote connection to the router. I do not want to open such access yet. Therefore, I will not tell you how to use it ... Voice control of the router via a smartphone ...

Some vulnerabilities are very old. Why the first firm (or any) didn't come with those patches applied? :mad:
 
The link from here is broken (404), and the routers don't see it anymore either.
Did Asus pull the upgrade?

In another forum it was confirmed the link is broken, ASUS will fix it soon.

Will wait for it being pulled in webui. I'm not in a hurry. Present firm is perfect. I would not update to this one, but it solves lots of security issues.

Currently it's no longer shown in the Asus download page, so likely it's not only a problem of a broken download link, but IMHO just a pulled bugged firmware.
Otherwise Asus had simply and easily corrected the missing link.
 
They recently did this with my motherboard firmware as well, posting it, removing it, then restoring it a few days later. Not exactly confidence-inspiring, is it.
