14 DAY TRIAL // ASUS has announced the availability of a new firmware package suitable for its RT-N12HP rev.B1 router model, namely version 3.0.0.4.380.2943, which restricts WAN access to improve security.
In addition to that, the update also adds support for ASUS Router App and auto dynamic port changing of UPnP server (when there are conflicts), and fixes reboot scheduler and Quick setup wizard GUI-related issues.
When it comes to installation, first of all, check your router’s current firmware so that you make sure it isn’t newer or matching the present version, and if everything is OK, save and unzip the downloadable archive.
Now, establish a wired connection between the RT-N12HP unit and your computer (using wireless for an upgrade isn’t recommended), log into its administration page, and use the newly extracted .trx file to update the router to the latest firmware version.
Even though this seems easy, bear in mind that interrupting the upgrade process by removing the Ethernet/power cable from either device, closing the web browser, or in any other way will lead to an update failure that might cause various malfunctions.
With this in mind, download ASUS RT-N12HP rev.B1 Firmware 3.0.0.4.380.2943, take into account all the aspects as mentioned above, apply the package to your router, and enjoy the changes this new release brings about.
