    Malware damaging ASUS routers?

    UPnP is as safe as the devices on your LAN using it. Securing the devices using outbound connections is outside of the scope of UPnP itself. The continued UPnP FUD is ridiculous. If you have clients abusing UPnP you probably have bigger problems.

    AX88U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_33338 2024/11/06

    AiMesh is missing in mine as well. However, everything I do use seems to be showing and working correctly. I never would have even noticed the AiMesh issue since I don't use it.

    Malware damaging ASUS routers?

    I see what you are saying, I thought I had seen all the current models on the list. Good point, they are not updated.

    Malware damaging ASUS routers?

    The list is referring to ASUS routers that do not have the firmware updates listed above in the security advisory. The AX models have these updates.

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    I have never seen the AiCloud services enabled on my routers. My AX88U Pro has always defaulted to disabled on ASUS stock firmware.

    BIG issue with ASUS routers killing network with upload flood

    It is suspected the malware could be using the AiCloud services. Either as a vector or enabling it to run something it needs. Also as far as I know AiCloud is not enabled by default. It hasn’t ever been on the three ASUS routers I’ve had.

    I agree I’ve never enabled these and they have never been turned on.

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    I have no idea. I’ve never used it either. It’s been a problem since I first started using ASUS routers.

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    Anandtech closes up shop

    I just read their new Ryzen reviews recently thinking how useful the information was. Very few pillars of industry left.

    Bit of a noob when it comes to finding a router - any budget recommendations?

    Don’t know what to say, I guess my house is impossible. But it’s the second house I’ve had where a single somewhat centrally located router is more than sufficient. Sufficient being 300+ Mbps for high performance devices in any major room or bedroom with a consistent signal. In my current house...

    Bit of a noob when it comes to finding a router - any budget recommendations?

    Didn’t register the £. Many neighbors, but similar size houses and decent sized yards in the US. Maybe not comparable. Though I agree with your recommendation as a good first step.

    Bit of a noob when it comes to finding a router - any budget recommendations?

    I mean that is 5GHz. Anywhere in my house, including the garage and back porch the 5GHz is sufficiently strong. No one is doing large file transfers outside at our house, though. Anywhere else in the yard it’s not really necessary.

    Bit of a noob when it comes to finding a router - any budget recommendations?

    Small is relative. I have full coverage from a single router in a 1900sqft single story house. Some of the back yard and front yard also have useable coverage for web browsing and videos/music.

    ASUS Firmware update privacy policy?

    No this is for the updates to the ASUS Security Daemon (ASD). The thing that bricked a ton of routers last fall.
