Install

-Simply refresh it like any regular update. You do not need to reset to the factory default settings (see the note below for exceptions). You can restore the original ASUS firmware at any time by flashing the firmware downloaded from the ASUS website.
-If the firmware upgrade fails, please try to restart the router to release enough memory, do not insert any U disk, and then try to flash again.
-If you encounter any problems after the upgrade and you have not done so, please try to restore the factory default settings.
-Always read the change log, as forced resets will be mentioned there when necessary.
-In all these cases, do not load a copy of the saved settings! This is the same as not resetting at all, because you only need to re-enter any invalid settings you want to delete. Make sure to create a new settings backup after reconfiguration.

notes:

-For the following situations, it is strongly recommended to reset to the factory defaults after flashing: updating from more than 3 old firmware versions or switching from Tomato/DD-WRT/OpenWRT firmware

Installation Precautions:

-This custom firmware can be applied like any regular update.
-You do not need to reset to factory default settings.
-You can restore to the original ASUS firmware at any time.
-Do not load a copy of the saved settings.

About router firmware:

Before you consider downloading this firmware, please go to the router’s system information page and make sure that the currently installed version is not updated or does not match this version.

Due to the wide variety of router models and different methods of upgrading devices, it is strongly recommended that you read and understand the installation steps before applying the new firmware, even if you are an advanced user.

In theory, these steps shouldn’t be too troublesome for anyone, because manufacturers try to make them as simple as possible, even if they are not always successful. Basically, you must upload the new firmware to the router through its management page and allow it to be upgraded.

If you install a new version, you can expect a higher security level, solve different vulnerabilities, improve overall performance and transmission speed, enhance compatibility with other devices, increase support for newly developed technologies, and other changes.

If you are looking for some security measures, remember that it is better to use an Ethernet cable instead of a wireless connection to perform the upload, as the wireless connection can easily be interrupted. In addition, if you wish to avoid any malfunctions, please make sure not to power off the router or use its buttons during the installation process.

If this firmware meets your current needs, please obtain the required version and apply it to your router unit; if not, please visit our website as often as possible to avoid missing updates that can improve your equipment.
