Please don't spread FUD.

The CyberSecurityDive article is awful and makes no mention as to the cause or solution for the vulnerability. The HotHardware article actually states what the vulnerability is and how to resolve it. Neither article actually pinpoints what hardware is actually vulnerable.

If you actually read the articles you linked, you would learn that the vulnerability is due to having SSH enabled. This setting is disabled by default on every single ASUS router I have ever touched and in some devices, completely removed to prevent nefarious access. It should go without saying that the "thousands of ASUS routers" that are truly compromised are probably really old units.

Old firmware versions of the TM-AC1900 (T-Mobile branded AC68U) had SSH access available (but disabled) and was later removed to prevent people from flashing it from T-Mobile's firmware to Asus's "official" firmware or Merlin. People flashing their TM-AC1900 devices had to enable SSH so that they could pull some .bin files off the device, alter them, and then upload them back to the router. Anybody tech savvy enough to do all this is probably smart enough to disable SSH afterwards, but that doesn't mean people don't forget.

Either way, 99% of the people with ASUS routers aren't affected by this and the remaining 1% set themselves up for failure for not being diligent with their tinkering.
As far as I can tell, Asus is one of the routers that provides regular updates to fix CVEs. If not Asus, which routers do you think are better?
Asus routers are absolutely amazing. The next step up would be Ubiquiti but then you would need to be tech savvy.

Seems to only be an issue if you exposed your router's login page to the internet, which is not the default anyway.

Asus actually continually updates their firmware. One of the worst offenders is tplink who will sell you routers at a cheap price but never updates their routers after a year and then they become chock full of security vulnerabilities that the chinese can exploit.

Been researching Asus routers and noticed the WiFi 6 routers have great customer ratings and the WiFi 7 routers do not. Seems their WiFi 7 implementation is not as stable as it should be. If anyone can speak more on that I'd be interested to understanding better.

Probably goes without saying at price, but this is a dual band router with no 6ghz support.

Thats because of age. When wifi 6 was first release there was issues. Same thing with wifi 7 which is why i give it about a year for them to release new firmware. I recently upgraded to the BE86U and had no issues with it.

As far as I know, Tri-Band was designed for those having to use a wireless backhaul. If you are using a wired backhaul then there is very little reason to hold out for Tri-Band over Dual-Band.

Those who live in heavily congested areas, like high density apartment complexes could benefit from the 6 ghz band too.

You're just ASKING for trouble if you expose any infrastructure management interface to the internet.
