ASUS has rolled out a new firmware package compatible with two of its wireless routers, namely version 3.0.0.4.376.1665 developed for the RT-N56U and RT-N65U devices, which updates the OpenSSL library to 1.0.0m (from 1.0.0d).

In addition to that, build 376.1665 now allows the system status to display CPU and RAM usage and the client status to show wireless signal strength, and gives users the ability to change both the client icon and the client name.

Moreover, even if the client name is modified, the parental control, QoS, manually assigned IP, static route, and port forwarding client list will still refer to this name.

If you want to enjoy the benefits that this release brings, then save and extract the proper downloadable package targeted at your device model and make sure the router is connected to the computer via an Ethernet cable (wireless technology can disconnect easily).

Afterwards, log into the unit’s web user interface, go to the “Firmware Update” section, select the .trx file from the newly created folder, and wait for the new software to be transferred and then applied to the router.

With this in mind, all you need to do now is to download ASUS RT-N56U Router Firmware 3.0.0.4.376.1665 or download ASUS RT-N65U Router Firmware 3.0.0.4.376.1665, depending on which device you own, and update the router by following the aforementioned steps.
