OMG what a brilliant find! Nearly an hour on chat with Amazon (screenshots taken and saved) and several email exchanges with Asus left me completely confused and concerned. A quick post on here and a full and satisfactory answer.
I can now rest assured and enjoy the BQ16s for the beasts they are lol.
Thanks so much ;)

I personally did not appreciate warranties where so complicated if ASUS routers are purchased via AMAZON, luckily I usually get mine from ASUS directly

Mine is exactly the same, I purchased an item that someone purchased from Amazon. For 2 years I will need to return it to the store who will arrange this with Amazon. 3rd year will be a hail Mary and hope……

It really is bizarre that the warranty conditions are different just because an item was purchased from Amazon.
I’m going to rely on the last email from Asus that confirms it’s a 3 year guarantee and, if necessary, to contact them if I need a repair and Amazon don’t play ball.
Nothing about this arrangement seems to be of any benefit to consumers, including the fact that Asus made no effort to tell us that they’d effectively terminated the warranty.
Just very weird all round and tbh very disappointed with Asus.

I just noticed that my pair of BQ16s updated themselves overnight, I’d got auto-update turned on (by mistake, I don’t normally do this). Anyhow, all is fine thus far so hoping it lasts lol.

Auto-Update is always fun, let us know how stability is after a few days

I believe the ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 is not effected by the published CVE-2023-39780 injection flaw. (it is to new).
Only a handful of router models all running older firmwares versions where impacted, alas ASUS officially have not published which models and what firmware versions are effected.
But seems to be the following three ASUS models.
- RT-AX55
- RT-AC3100
- RT-AC3200
