Asus Router Firmware update problem

The router cannot connect to ASUS server to check for the firmware update. After reconnecting to the Internet, go back to this page and click Check to check for the latest firmware updates.


The above is the message I've got when trying to flash the firmware of my Asus Router RT-AC87U.  I've tried different browsers on my Windows 10 machine, but this message keeps popping up when I click the flash firmware on the Web interface.

Even the Asus app does not work. It appears to be upgrading, but is in fact not.
Same as using a browser on an ipad...

My existing firmware is 3.0.0.4.380_7378

No solution so far. will update this post when I get more....

AIVA - Artificial Intelligence contribution to music

https://soundcloud.com/user-95265362

Go ahead, go to Soundcloud using the above URL, and listen to some of the music composed by AIVA.  Original soundtracks generated after the Machine Learning process. 

The current iteration of AIVA only produces piano output. The mapping to orchestra instruments are still done by humans.  Future version will be fully computer generated.
