I guess the update person works for the US government since the update coincides with the government reopening. . (Let the conspiracy theories begin!) Muahahhaha

Must’ve been the case because from 2.476 to .482, there are 2 updates in between that nobody pushed to us.

But it could be the case that they failed the quality checks as well.

QA is the final check before Signatures goes out to Active Update Servers of Trend Micro. And Bob always gets the hit when something failed.
BTW, this same Bob is also present in McAfee, Symantec,Crowdstike and the rest of the AV industry.
The "common pattern", hiring BOB in QA

A relative of mine in IT often registered everything years ago to bob@bob.com, I did often wonder about Bob?

I thought it also needed to be mentioned as far as F-Secure's Router Tool Checker.

I just checked the latest official released firmware last month. And it say's something with AI Cloud fix. This could be related/fixed as the CVE-2025 in the WRTHUG is dated April 2025. Need to double check.

You can always depend on Asus to patch their exploits, even though here it seems to be very much post factum.

Yes. This is one of the traits of Asus. Regular firmware updates even for decade old routers. Kudos to Asustek!
