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.

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.

The Net Gear one that I have done as well.

Something that runs openWRT.

Set up and forget.

Set up and forget is a often a bad idea. Keyword: Security Updates
