    I just got an Asus W5F. I was wondering. Do you think I should update the stuff from support.asus.com? Thanks!

    Well... there are two routes you can go:
    1) If it ain't broke, don't fix it
    2) If it will make things better (in theory), why not?

    The choice is up to you, really. If something just doesn't seem to work right, and you see an update listed, why not update it? However, if everything works the way you want it to... I say just leave it alone.

    As AuroraS mentioned, if you have no problems with it, there is no need. Updating may cause unnecessary problems.
