Don't own this model just curious though did Asus say what the issue is ?

Yes.

By the sound of the short "Yes" response, I suspect that we will not be hearing the details (security/proprietary/confidential/etc...).

If I have already updated to 3004.388.4 beta, do I need to update this version 388.2_4 ?

​

Yes, as the fixed driver is not included in beta 3 (I only received it two days ago). It will be included in 388.4 final.

Yes.

LOL. Care to elaborate ?

I can't. All I can say is that I know the reason, and I agreed with Asus to issue this quick update.

Ok fair enough.

Thanks RMerlin taking security seriously and taking the time to make the 388.2_4 build! If it is important enough for you to update an "old" build for only 1 model then I know it's important: I am installing it now.

Does it matter if the AXE11000 is standalone/master or an AiMesh node?

No, since the fix is related to wifi then it also concerns nodes.
