Minimum support period for the UK: the maker promises security updates for products sold in the UK until at least December 31, 2026. This is a legal minimum for that market, not an end date, and it may not apply to other markets.
Minimum support period for Singapore: the maker promised security updates for products sold in Singapore until at least February 28, 2025. That minimum has passed; it was not an announced end date.
In the EU the maker lists this model as end-of-life (no date given). That listing is for the EU only.

Firmware newer than 3.0.0.4.388_24609
Source: asus.com (opens in a new tab) · checked November 13, 2026
Basis: The maker lists this model for the CVEs below but doesn't name the fixed firmware for it. The version comes from a CVE record by another organisation or from the maker's download page. Only the last affected firmware is named, so we assumed newer firmware has the fix.

Firmware built or released on or after May 29, 2024

Basis: The source gives a date instead of a firmware version, so we assumed this model's firmware from that date on has the fix.
