asus's update server has covid 19
UPDATE. After trying signature update 3 or 4 times over the last few hours, it Finally updated successfully. No configuration changes. So the issue was NOT the firmware. New signature is 2.172 Updated : 2020/04/08 21:32Mine says 2.170 on 86U. I've gone to a very basic WAN DNS config using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as my hard coded DNS servers (bypassing my ISP DNS). Still getting signature update failure. LAN clients using router as DNS are working fine. So not sure what the signature update failure really means in the grand scheme of things.
Attached is the system log showing the 2 lines in the log for each signature update request.
Thanks. I was able to update my signatures to 2.172 as well with no config changes.UPDATE. After trying signature update 3 or 4 times over the last few hours, it Finally updated successfully.

Successful update just now.Same here, I tried a few times, including login out, login ... finally, I got this
For me I by pass my ISP DNS and use Cloudflare (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1) instead on my WAN GUI page.

Wan set to 1.0.0.1 and 74.82.42.42
me also whit a RT-AC88U AND 384.16Signatures were 2.170 since 2020/03/20.
After clicking on the "Check" button I get "Signature update completely", but the version remains 2.170 on my AC86U...
