Install

– Just refresh it like any regular update. You don’t need to reset to factory defaults (see note below for exceptions). You can revert to the original ASUS firmware at any time by simply flashing the firmware downloaded from the ASUS website.
– If the firmware upgrade fails, try restarting the router to free up enough memory, don’t insert any USB stick, and try flashing it again.
– If you have any issues after upgrading and you haven’t done so, try restoring to factory defaults.
– Always read the changelog as forced resets are mentioned there when necessary.
– In all these cases, DO NOT load a saved copy of the settings! This is the same as not resetting at all, as you just re-enter any invalid settings you want to get rid of. Make sure to create a new backup of your settings after reconfiguring.

notes:

– Resetting to factory defaults after flashing is strongly recommended for: updating from firmware versions older than 3 or switching from Tomato/DD-WRT/OpenWRT firmware

Installation Precautions:

– This custom firmware can be applied like any regular update.
– You don’t need to reset to factory defaults.
– You can revert to the original ASUS firmware at any time.

About switch firmware:

Given the wide variety of switch models with different upgrade methods, if you wish to apply this package, we recommend that you read and understand the installation steps before installing new firmware, even if you are an advanced user.

Usually the update process is not a hassle as manufacturers try to make it as simple as possible. However, there are some cases that are exceptions to this rule. First, go to the system information page of the switch and check if the currently installed version is newer or does not match this version.

Applying the new firmware reduces security vulnerabilities, enhances overall performance and compatibility, improves various power management functions, resolves various bugs, and adds support for newly developed technologies and protocols.

It is recommended that you perform this step in a stable power environment, such as one guaranteed by a UPS unit, and do not interrupt the upgrade in any way, as this may cause the switch to fail.

Having said that, please click the download button to get and apply the new version, and check our website frequently for the latest version.
