ASUS just retroactively removed access to the router I've had for 3 years, unless I agree to new terms and conditions. They are now and forever off the list of "companies I do business with"

OpenWRT time?
Something called Merlin? I need to check the version of the router to see if it's compatible. I can still access through the Android app.
The real question is can it match Valves warranty practices?
Asus is terrible when it comes to warranties. They likely will try to charge you a bunch for unneeded repairs and then send you a device that is broken.
Asus more like a sus.
Seriously though send your money elsewhere. They are cheaters.
ASUS is terrible not because they make bad products (in fact many of them are good), they are terrible because of their horrendous support.
There is no shortage of customer service horror stories because of this company. I would not give them money.
'it runs windows'
Yeah that's gonna be a no for me dawg
