Also seems like all previous releases are now not available for download, maybe a bug in previous releases also.Got to love those ASUS guys and girls for their CC
In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
Asus seem to have also removed all previous FW for BQ16 too and only left the previous 2 online. They must be doing some sort of purging of older FW versions.

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……

Finally got a response from Asus. Apparently the seller has taken responsibility for warranty on this and I need to approach the seller if I have any warranty issues. This is why the warranty is shown as expired one day before the manufactured date. Feels like I have been fobbed off, but hey as hardware goes Asus routers have been good for me. Lets hope I do not have any issues hardware wise.

Reading the comments about the guarantee made me double check I’d registered my pair of BQ16s. Fortunately I have; unfortunately it says ‘Warranty Expired’ on my account. I’ve sent them an enquiry.
In other news, I’ve been really pleased with the setup. I previously had an AX11000 with a pair of XT8s as nodes which worked flawlessly but I changed my ISP from BT to Zen to take advantage of the 1.6 gig service, so needed a new router/mesh setup. Originally I planned to get a BE98 with a BQ16 as a node but changed my mind when I found a reasonable deal on the pair of BQ16s. Set up was straight forward enough; I’ve got a Sky Q and 4 mini boxes plus several Sonos speakers and had read that others had problems with these, so was pleasantly surprised that every thing works well. In fact, I only need the 2 BQ16s for full house coverage and the garden too.
Just need to get the guarantee reinstated…
My 2 x BQ16’s have also been flawless for my use case so far with an uptime of nearly 24 days.
Mine also says warranty expired on 18/11/2024 after finally managing to ‘register’ using the serial number on one of the nodes. I have sent a copy of my invoice and asked Asus to update the warranty expiry date.

I also currently have a Dyson Animal purchased a good few years ago and looking to buy a replacement soon. Was looking at this Shark one too. I know TopCashback are giving up to 20% cashback via Shark directly.
Have you used the Shark vacuum yet?

I decided to keep the BQ16 after testing it for a few days and confirmation on the EoL date was the icing on the cake. As the official price has been reduced all over the internet, the seller kindly gave me a further discount on his original price and I have bought them for £600
. Essentially a £300 reduction on the brand new price, even if purchased directly from Asus.You need to login in order to vote
