Malware damaging ASUS routers?

[giosita]

The various MAC addresses associated with the different interfaces might be easy to retrieve, but if you notice, the backup settings also include the radio calibration values, which, as I understand, are specific to each INDIVIDUAL model produced. I assume Asus has a database they can rely on, based on the serial number, to restore all models affected by the issue. That’s good news, at least they’re actively working on the problem.

EDIT: However, it would be nice to know WHAT caused the issue, specifically if and which vulnerabilities or malware are involved in this....

you are very wrong individual settings are made at the factory and they depend on the radio module

in fact, you can use the default ones, you will not notice a big difference, BUT this will be true if you have one router, and if 3-4 then this will create additional interference

Yes, I think we’re saying similar things, namely that each radio module has its own specific calibrations BUT they are done at the factory (by the wireless module manufacturer, e.g., Realtek, Qualcomm, etc.) and not by Asus, correct ?
