I’m using this card for At&t 2 Gig internet i’m not having any problems with this card other than my pc can’t see the current firmware and it won’t update to the new fimware as seen in the pic below. I tried the firmware from Asus wed
After looking at the FW package on Asus’s website I’m inclined to say you probably should hold off upgrading unless you’re experiencing throughput or power state related issues. The 3.1.88 AQC107 firmware they just posted is from 2019 and has issues of its own.
But if you’re dead set on upgrading I have 3 suggestions:
Download and install the latest driver package and Asus’s support site, reboot, and then re-run the flash tool that was included.
Temporarily install the card in another PC (Win 10) and see if you get the same error
And lastly if both fail, there is an Aquantia tool named diag.exe that will ignore versions and just flash the image file you specify. But if the update fails things could get messy with needing to erase and reprogram the MAC address. I personally wouldn’t recommend going this route unless you’re trying to recover from a failed card.
