Over the past few months I have come across a couple of significant issues with ASUS wireless routers (which to their credit the company has been quick to resolve).
In mid February, I wrote that a substantial portion of ASUS wireless routers would fail to update their firmware. In fact, the "check for update" function would inform the administrator that the router was fully up-to-date, even though it was not. The timing could not have been worse, coming right on the heels of an exploit for a bug in which USB hard drives connected to the router could be accessed from the public Internet, with no login required.
