MSFT 50 on Asus Router: What It Means and How to Fix It
If you've noticed your Asus router displaying "MSFT 50" and using excessive data, you're not alone. This issue has been reported by several users, and it can be frustrating to deal with. In this blog post, we'll explain what MSFT 50 is, why it's appearing on your router, and how to fix the problem.
What is MSFT 50?
MSFT 50 is the stock symbol for Microsoft. It's possible that your router is displaying this because it's attempting to access Microsoft's servers for DNS lookups. DNS is a system that translates domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses (like 192.168.1.1). When your router is unable to resolve a domain name, it may send a request to Microsoft's DNS servers.
Why is MSFT 50 using so much data?
If your router is using excessive data while displaying MSFT 50, it's likely because it's sending multiple DNS requests to Microsoft's servers. This can happen if your router's DNS settings are incorrect or if Microsoft's DNS servers are experiencing problems.
How to fix the MSFT 50 problem
There are a few things you can do to fix the MSFT 50 problem:
- Check your router's DNS settings. Make sure that your router is using the correct DNS servers. You can find the DNS server addresses in your router's settings menu.
- Update your router's firmware. If your router's firmware is out of date, it may be causing the MSFT 50 problem. Check your router's manufacturer's website for firmware updates.
- Contact your ISP. If you've tried the above steps and you're still experiencing the MSFT 50 problem, you may need to contact your ISP. They may be able to help you troubleshoot the problem and find a solution.
