ixi Tr*** AssUs. Router itself does not see update when checked through mobile app :), so, where is the update? Currently on it: 3.0.0.6_102 firmware series . Thanks GamerNexus. Vulnerability is still vulnerability. Better to be known and fixed than sitting there for ages.

The vulnerabilities, including CVE-2026-75775, CVE-2026-75779, and CVE-2026-93489, could allow attackers on adjacent networks to gain administrative access or cause denial of service. The first update was released on October 20, 2026, for the 3.0.0.4_386 and 3.0.0.4_388 series, followed by a second update on October 23 for the 3.0.0.6_102 series. ASUS recommends that users update their firmware immediately, as the flaws could be exploited without authentication under specific conditions.
