You're not alone if you've experienced network connectivity issues with your Asus router this week. As first reported by Bleeping Computer, Asus routers around the globe mysteriously went offline on or around May 16, with nary a word from the company on what was causing the problems.
However, Asus acknowledged the problem today, writing on its Product Security Advisory support page, "During routine security maintenance, our technical team discovered an error in the configuration of our server settings file, which could potentially cause an interruption in network connectivity on part of the routers."
