I mean, this might work for me, but how do we deal with the fact that if I were my wife ASUS has basically turned my very expensive router into a very expensive brick?
Agreed. I had enough issues with my router yesterday I purchased a different brand router and decommissioned my ASUS. I was not aware of this wide-spread issue until today. Much like HP printers, I will think twice about recommending or purchasing an ASUS.
>I will think twice about recommending or purchasing an ASUS.
With the recent ASUS motherboard over voltage, emergency BIOS update, warranty void if update used then reverse that threat.... the insanity of it all. Many people are saying that.
Then purchase what? From what I understand most consumer router manufacturers do push automatic updates. Usually installed when the router is power cycled.
At worst, most troubleshooting guides online (one's phone probably has Internet) and probably even in the manual end with "if all else fails, here's how to factory reset". Someone in the comments of the article said a factory fixed it for them.
I understand the frustration, but after some initial anger, people will eventually get there.
