ASUS has just made available a new firmware package targeted at two of its top wireless routers, namely version 376.2769 compatible with the RT-AC87U and RT-AC87R devices, which fixes the LAN connection drop issue spotted on EU models.

In addition to that, the new version resolves the network looping problems encountered when several Sonos speakers are connected to the router via cable, and also improves the GUI string and browser compatibility.

Last but not least, ASUS’ release adjusts and improves the priority setting GUI in Adaptive QoS bandwidth monitor, and increases the QoS monitor app’s icons.

As for installing the 376.2769, just save and unzip the appropriate package for your router model, connect the device to the computer through an Ethernet cable (wireless technology tends to drop randomly), and log into the unit’s administration page.

Now go to the firmware update section in the dashboard’s settings, and use the newly extracted .trx file to initiate the upgrade process.

Bear in mind that during the installation you should not remove the Ethernet cable as the firmware file must be first transferred to the router. Also, don’t turn off the router or disconnect the power cable because this can cause serious device malfunctions.

With this in mind, download ASUS RT-AC87 Router Firmware 3.0.0.4.376.2769, and apply it on your device in order to benefit from these new changes, and also to stay “updated one minute ago.”
