Tell that to the FBI.

This time. But ASUS has had their share of issues in the past too.

Reboot when necessary/needed... otherwise, let it run, Jim

I think “when needed” was the question? [emoji848]

i have it set for every day at 4am to clear the upnp issue i used to have where ports wouldnt clear for some absurd reason, kept it as habit now.

Me too. I think this is the best plan.

Perhaps you should have scrolled down to see the devices list as it is mips based/older models so far.
I suspect the AC66U is also the older model.

There's a handful of threads on VPNfilter already. While on this topic, would the malware require a reboot? If the persistence stays after a reboot, it makes me think yes. Rebooting a router daily would then stop one possible sign of infection.

Looks like some Asus routers are on the list. and the list is growing.
