Hard to tell without knowing the list of every specific security issues that were fixed since that build, but chances are that if you don't use AiCloud and don't open your webui to the WAN, you should be fairly safe.

I suppose that organisation only just added that old issue to their own database. <shrug> It should be mandatory for these researchers to reveal which specific version of a software had been tested and confirmed as vulnerable. Otherwise, these reports are completely useless.

It`s fine if AiCloud is kept disabled.

Just to let you know that I have uploaded a new GT-BE19000AI build. This build is based on a newer GPL version (I was previously using a fairly early version, so it had a number of known issues). This new build also integrates a new version of the Ark engine which should be at least more...

Locking this thread as it has run its course, and should not be used for general support discussions.

AFC requires additionnal hardware and software, so it will always be an optional feature provided on a per device basis.

Personally I run Plex Server on my QNAP TS-464. That would be the direct successor to the TS-453E. I'm quite happy with it. My Plex client is a Shield TV Pro. Before that, I had an Asustor, but I wasn't using Plex back then. Initially I ran XBMC/Kodi on the Asustor itself. When they...

There's nothing of this on the GT-BE19000AI.

What AI specifically? It's just a marketing term to denote the presence of an NPU that allows on device inference. The router does not connect to any external LLM.

In summary, stop trusting AI chatbots... The CPU and wifi SoCs are the same (BCM4916 CPU, BCM6726 wifi). So no, the performance won`t be different. The NPU has nothing to do with either of these. It's currently used by Frigate for its video image recognition, for instance. I suspect it`s...

You say that as if Asus was a team of three persons who can only work on one thing at a time. Their team is large enough that they can even continue to provide security updates to devices that they themselves marked as being End of Life almost two years ago. That should tell you a thing about...

Might be because it needs to scan locally available networks, which is typically a location service.

Tuya's wifi uses cheap junk. I have a pair of Tuya smart powerbars that keep disconnecting and reconnecting 2-3 times a day, sometimes one of them end up connected as 802.11g instead of 802.11n, requiring a power cycle. They are the only devices on my network that do that, even my Roomba...

if using ProtonVPN it might be worth considering switching to WireGuard for better performance. Their WG implementation works very well within Asuswrt-Merlin, it's what I use for 24/7 VPN testing here on a guest network. I have 47 days of uptime on my main router, and that includes that VPN...
