You can set the Asus router app to give you Notifications. I do not know just what you will get, though. You can also set the router to auto upgrade. Some do not like this feature for obvious reasons. But for the majority of consumers it will not harm them and keep their firmware up-to-date.

Looks like auto upgrade is your ‘go to‘ then……

Maybe you should give it a try. There have been lots of changes and improvements. You have no reason to complain unless you have tried it.

The difference is my 5ghz radios haven't missed a beat since upgrading to it. I have a tendency to get unhappy when the white lights are on but nobody's home.

Is there any link (GitHub or otherwise) where all previous firmware versions are available along with release notes?

I have tried to search the forums but was not able to find this….

Thanks.

Came from 3.0.0.4.386.44266 which runs perfectly. Tried this latest 45934, everything works well except my DLNA devices. My Samsung F8000 connects to the media server on a Synology NAS and a HDHomeRun box via DLNA, it's very slow to load menus/video and will end up quitting/error out the stream for both devices. Reverting back to 44266 has everything working properly again.

Can someone please check and see if this firmware is allowing your W11 machines to have an IPV6 connection? When I check my router it says the machines all have an ipv6 address but when I check the network status on each machine it shows no network access and if I run the ipv6 test they fail.

i am running version 45934 for a month now.

i noticed a nice improvement.

apparently when you change your Lan DCHP list it get's sorted automatically instead of adding the new entry to the end.

i removed an entry with ip 144
i added a new entry (with a different mac address) to ip 144
pressed apply and it is sorted
