[QUOTE="The_King, post: 933816, member: 88497"] It is very easy to damage your BIOS chip using the CH341A or other similar devices. BIOS chips can operate at different voltages some are 3.3V others are 5V. If you select the incorrect voltage your BIOS chip can be damaged. If the leads from your CH341A are incorrectly wired to your BIOS chip without knowing the pin layout this can also damage your chip permanently. In short [B]YES[/B] you can very easily damage your motherboard with the CH341A. Using a software based BIOS reader from Gigabytes website would be much safer. It is a good idea to go with a router that supports WPA3. If you have used pfSense before then that is a great option however it does require much more time to configure and can be complicated for some users. ASUS routers in general are great and have great reviews. I personally don't have a problem with them and would recommend them to most people. [/QUOTE]
