Antivirus wi-fi router, network security

The Asus routers enriched overnight with a firmware update that offers several new functions extremely useful.
New features related to security and bandwidth management. They are called:
1. AI Protection (Security TrendMicro)
2. Adaptive QoS (bandwidth management)
If you have not received the update, you can flash-ui Merlin, a custom firmware for routers Asus. Be careful, your device must be compatible, otherwise it will not work.
Cu AI Protection We have protection for all devices connected to the router, including tablets or phones. In addition do not have to install anything, everything is in router. Another function is improved collaboration with TrendMicro parental controll site, which now allows us to block only certain types of services and websites (great for parents with children curious)
Cu adaptive QoS We can decrease bandwidth (speed internet) on some devices and can grow to others. In addition to Adaptive QoS can see which sites or services to access each device.
I can hardly believe it, usually manufacturers do not improve devices after they have already sold. Asus instead give proof of responsibility and involvement.
This trend with firmware improvements was launched by Fujifilm, which has incredibly improved cameras like the X-Pro1 and X100, thus increasing people's confidence in the company and implicitly sales. You know the saying "our client, our master".
Do not forget ! If you want to show you how to block categories of sites or services via DNS (free router and free software), please let me know in the comments box exactly what you want to block (website, service, etc.) .

  • Hi Cristi, if you can do a tutorial with this router in repeater mode, it would be very useful if I could thank you a lot. Let me explain why it would be useful (my brother-in-law and I live at a distance of about 25-35m, I have an internet connection and a very good bandwidth here in Spain and he wants me to share them with my consent from my internet connection via wifi sharing money) now I think that if I buy two routers like yours: mine leaving the router mode and his brother-in-law's repeater mode would be used for what we need, specifically between his house and mine you have no obstacles, with the laptop the signal would be something in his house, but he wants to have wifi in the whole house. Thank you again.

    • Said and done. These days to make a network configuration.
      Besides I do repeater mode and other modes, as you understand it in context.

  • Hello Cristi,

    Please do tutorial which can block certain websites by using DNS.

    Thank you!

    • I put it on the list, now I'm waiting for more amateurs with comments.
      These are quite exotic topics that don't really make a "career", so I will ask for more comments with requests for the proposed topic.

      • Cristi and I salute subscribe to the next tutorial (if you want to do it)
        we know that the Internet is a double-edged sword
        but why not look at the positive side of things

      • Hello!
        I agree with the proposed subject, related to blocking sites and I would add plocarea computers accessing the router, ip or mac-lock!
        thank you!

  • Hello, please recoamanzi my router so I can get the signal ok throughout the house (home to earth, 5 rooms).
    I tried a Tp-link WR841N, but it doesn't do its job well :)
    Thank you

    • Try to put it right in the middle of the house, closer to the ceiling, and if you put the antenna on the ceiling to be down.
      It certainly is placed in one end of the house.
      My advice is to try what I've suggested above first to throw money on another router.
      If you still have a "headset", I recommend the AC68U or AC87U from Asus.

  • My opinion, that it's stupid and with antivirus on the router honestly, why do I need it if I have antivirus on my pc and mobile, I didn't even password the router and the net works well on my mobile and laptop, I don't know why they want to complicate instead of being simple here I mean restricted to sites or streaming, and set what to give more bandwidth another nonsense, I honestly expected something completely from the video tutorial but m- I cheated bitterly.pa

    • Thanks for the fidbec given here! And we expected more from you. (sarcasm) :-)

    • Your degree of "professionalism" in this area is given by the fact that you think you do not need the password to the Wi-Fi network. "Smart" choice ... It seems that you think that if you password the Wi-Fi network, the way the net will work is influenced, since you say: "I didn't even password the router and the net works well on mobile and laptop ". Another thing that puzzled me is that you don't find the bandwidth management and site restriction utility useful. If you know that you are not even at the amateur level in a field, you better refrain from giving lessons like the one above.

    • You are a genius! How come I didn't think of such a thing? When I get home I take out all the passwords to everything I have so that I also have gigabit speed. Damn security and that's how it is known that people are always good and would never hurt :)

  • Hello! I'm interested in a tutorial on how to block certain websites by using DNS. Thanks for what you cee

  • Hello ! Please sa_mi tell if Windows Defender is an anti-virus program; I bought a laptop with Windows Defender and Windows 8 and want to know if I can count on this program or need the else. Thank you !

    • Lately border between antivirus / antispyware and others, it has faded greatly.
      Windows Defender is as good as others solutions.
      I use and I had problems.
      The real threats now come from other directions and so antivirus is no longer what it once was.
      If careful and not go on exotic sites, software Anti Malware is good.

    • Simply download here https://www.mediafire.com/folder/bkfq2a6aebq68/Asuswrt-Merlin firmware for the type of router you have, go into the settings and give Administration-Upload Firmware Upgrade to firmware that you descarcat.Ca gonna go give a good router that will bring reset settings (as of factory) as the first time you bought ..
      WARNING: Download the firmware suitable Otherwise you can brick-despiseth (mess) router permanently.

  • Cristi you have all my respect for the work they do. And the idea from Asus is excellent.

  • Is there such a thing on DD-WRT or OpenWRT? I want to install a custom firmware on my TP-LINK: D
