Crytptic as always they are.

Yes, I think that’s what makes the wording interesting. I had a look at ASUS’s actual announcement here:

https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1057454/

ASUS says the Speedtest service is being “adjusted” from October 2026 and refers to it as a “unified optimisation adjustment”, but doesn’t actually explain what has changed.

My guess would be that something has changed on the backend/service side, which means ASUS needs to change the implementation in the firmware. If this is related to a change by Ookla, for example, that would explain why the existing Speedtest implementation suddenly needs a firmware update.

But that’s only speculation, ASUS doesn’t mention Ookla, losing access to the old backend, or any backend problems.
