Asus is a 100% Taiwanese company. The US administration is banning based on nation location/ownership, not on the (reported) products flaws. It's is purely a political decision, it has nothing to do with product security, except they use that as an excuse to justify their decisions. In the...

iperf is used internally by the firmware, including in various closed source portions. That means an upgrade can potentially break functionality without me even being able to notice, so I'm not touching it.

Regardless of whether it's deserved or not, if the US administration end up banning TP-Link products, one major impact on customers will be they will most likely lose any warranty support, as TP-Link would be unable, among other things, to provide replacements in case of a defective device...

Stop believing these drunken AI chatbots, seriously... Also, you are 10 years late to this discussion.

It will be fairly similar to the UI of the Expertwifi models, which also have the Dashboard-based UI: https://demoui.asus.com/EBG15/index.html

Another year is almost gone, and I thought this year I'd have a go at my irregular "year in review" posts. It certainly has been an... interesting... year, globally. In the sense of that old "May you live in interesting times" expression. Not gonna lie, I'm not too optimistic about what 2026...

Final release is now available. Thanks to everyone who participated in this beta cycle.

Reserved post.

Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.11 is now available. The focus of this release is merging a new GPL (largely security fixes), the removal of AiCloud due to repeated security issues, and the new Traffic Monitor redesign that was initially introduced in 3006.102.6. Changes since 3004.388.10_2...
