... has continued to provide BIOS updates for older equipment, unlike most manufactures ...

Exactly, that's the main point of using an ASUS router. I bought mine in 2008 and I still get BIOS updates.

I wonder how many small business are affected by this and how much money was lost. Asus should be sued by this.

This is my last straw with this brand.

After already spend money and went with an all Unifi setup due to this "inconvenience" I would be still in the dark without knowing what happened to my Asus router if not reading it on the headlines from a third party website. I'd bet Asus would think I'm crazy if I call them up and ask for an reimbursment of what I spend to replace their F*&(ed up router.

Even now, going to Asus US website and trying to find this secuirty bulletin is next to impossible.

Thank you Asus for this outage, or I'd be still stuck with your lame ass routers that push updates that can brick the device without user knowing.
