I don't think they get updates PERIOD.
If you want updates (why wouldn't you), my suggestion would be to flash this. I ordered another one recently when ebay 20% off coupons were popping around. ...

I bought a new unit about a year and a half ago. Flashed the firmware, but have not been impressed with it at all. Video stutters on all of our Roku boxes. Our older Linksys router was much better.

You may name them the same but you don't know if client will always switch to the strongest one. If the one the client is connected to is "good enough", it will not switch.

Thanks, what's about update firmware? when you update the firmware from official Asus, it will automatically update the firmware to the other mesh ones? Or I have to unAimesh and update manually?
