ASUS has just rolled out a new firmware package suitable for its DSL-AC68R and DSL-AC68U routers, namely version 3.0.0.4.378.6553, which improves login authentication strength, resolves various CSRF issues, and includes several other changes. 

Specifically speaking, the new update implements a protection mechanism for GUI login brute-force attacks, adds support for DSL Dashboard feature, changes auto-APN nvram, and fixes lockpin and send_sms functions.

In addition to that, the router will also receive updated DSL firmware (1.0.2.7) and drivers (5.5.1.129), a fresh Adaptive QoS DPI engine, up-to-date SPN data from Android, as well as a refined AiProtection alert mail format.

Moreover, if build 378.6553 is applied, several issues will be resolved, such as Ethernet connection failure in IPv6, JS errors in AiProtection, dnsmasq buffer overflow problems, NAT loopback bugs when connecting to LAN FTP server.

However, these aren’t all the changes ASUS’s update implements. Thus, in order to view all modifications that your router will be subjected to, make sure to hit the Release Notes button below, and carefully read all information displayed there.

As for installation, save and unzip the downloadable archive for your router model, establish a wired connection between it and your computer, and log into its administration page using the username and password.

Now, simply go to the Firmware Upgrade section, hit “Browse,” navigate and select the newly extracted firmware file, click “Upload,” and wait for your router to do its job. Bear in mind that interrupting this process in any way can lead to serious malfunctions.
