14 DAY TRIAL // ASUS has rolled out a new firmware version compatible with its RT-AC66R, RT-AC66U, and RT-AC66W router models, namely build 3.0.0.4.380.4005, which should resolve security vulnerability regarding CSRF and XSS.
In addition to that, the present release will also fix certain UI redirection issues, improve IE compatibility and WAN detection regarding quick internet setup wizard, as well as update the translation strings.
Moreover, ASUS has managed to change the Firmware Upgrade page by allowing owners to obtain and install beta firmware (when made available) on the upgrade page, and implement various other small fixes and improvements.
When it comes to installation, first of all, check the router’s current firmware so that it isn’t newer or matching the present version, and only afterwards save and unzip the downloadable archive.
Now, establish a wired connection between the RT-AC66 unit and your computer, log into its administration page (username and password should be requested), go to the Firmware section, and use the newly extracted .trx file to upgrade the router to the latest 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 might cause serious malfunctions.
That said, download ASUS RT-AC66 Firmware 3.0.0.4.380.4005, take into account all aspects mentioned above and enjoy the changes this new release brings about. Also, check back with us constantly to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
