Hello,

After upgrading to this version, after I reset my router, when I configure it back after I input my username and password for my pppoe connection, it goes into asus homepage instead to continue to next screen to set up password for wi-fi.

A reset is not necessary...simple reboot is all that is needed after upgrading.

Installed the firmware. The only unusual thing happened is the manual reboot post install only option & it asked me to change network place (samba) permission to "Share with account" which already was set this way before. Anyway, I set it to "Share without account" then changed it back to "Share with account" & the yellow icon was gone.

It seems they added a notification system to advise you of insecure settings.....very good idea Asus.

I have got the yellow arrow icon too....but mine said my 2.4ghz wifi was insure and I should adjust settings....however, I ignore it, as I have the 2.4 band disabled...the bottom of the balloon notification..it has a link that says Undefined...so it seems Asus has a tad more work to do in this new feature.
