Asus: Install Firmware Updates?

Should we be installing the firmware that is suggested on the Asus router management page? I thought that the software on the USB3.0 stick updated itself and didn’t require my intervention.

The suggestion states A new version of firmware is now available. Update Now

hi @forbesb you definitely can do that at any time.

The anmuscle binary (adam:ONE® software) does its own upgrades as its software lives on the flash drive since v4, but the firmware upgrade of the router follows the ASUS/Merlin process.
