Received a phone call from this number for router hook up support , was curious is I was scammed or if it’s a legit company affiliated with ASUS routers

were scammed

Caller claimed to be asus technical support

I received this call for links support, think I just got scammed

Why do you think that? Did you let them access your computer? If so, take your computer to a local repair shop & tell them what happened.
Did you give them a checking account, credit or debit card as payment? If so, cancel that account immediately!

Its a scammer Though I they were from Linksys range extender support.  I gave them access to my computer so they could supposedly fix the problem.  They went into system files and gave me some runaround and then said their itt person would have to fix the problem and there would be a charge.  Said I had several viruses in my network.  I told them no and ended their access to my computer.  After playing around with my range extender for a while I finally got it to connect.  Obviously no viruses

Yeah, except they installed malware on your computer and stole all the information off of it.  User names, passwords, contacts, banking info, etc.

Similar to Sherry 22 July 2019.  This guy said I had trojans on my network he would clean off for $199.  I asked how my antivirus would have let that through and he insisted it wasn't my computer but my network.  I said malware would have to be on a physical address.  I finally got off the phone and got a new router.  Now everything is fine.  I'll watch my accounts.

bunch of scam artists....    blocked the number

Wificommsolutions accessed my computer. I paid $80 for security protection. What should I do?

Thanks to Slim, another registered poster here and computer whiz:

Since the scammers accessed the computer, they probably did one or more of the following:
• Disabled the anti-virus software
• Added nasty malware to the computer
• Copied the Contact List (so they can spam/email your soon-to-be ex-friends)
• Copied any financial data or passwords they could find
• Compromised your ID on Facebook or other social site(s), and perhaps on shopping sites.
• "Zombied" the computer, so it would respond to THEIR commands sent via internet
• Deleted some important files
• Asked for money to repair the damage they caused

What can you do immediately after such an attack?
1.  Pull the cables on the computer, or otherwise disable it, so it cannot access the internet.
2.  Change ALL  passwords stored on the computer.
3.  Run FULL malware scans on the computer, in "SAFE" mode!
4.  Change the passwords again, particularly if the malware scans showed anything.
5.  Inform your bank and credit card companies.
6.  Sign up for credit monitoring, and check the status frequently
7.  Backup non-executable personal, data files to an external storage device.  (Executable files might be infected).
8.  You may have to bring the computer to a local repair shop, and tell them the story.
9.  Tell friends what happened, so they can be aware of strange emails from you.
10.  Connect to the internet only AFTER all the above have been done.
11.  Change the passwords on all online accounts.  Even better - access a "safe", uninfected  computer, and change your online account passwords RIGHT NOW.

NOTE:
If your computer set a "Restore Point" while it was infected, any "System Restore" you make will re-infect your computer.  Suggest you delete any potentially infected restore points and avoid setting such restore points until after your computer has been thoroughly cleaned!

You fell for one scam, and might be susceptible to others mentioned on this site:

Read that info to educate and help protect yourself!

Honest computer companies do NOT cold-call people, or cause popups from websites to tell them their computers need fixing!

Some scammers even have websites, and falsely advertise they are associated with popular software packages or computer companies; so do NOT believe a "we will fix your computer remotely" site, and allow them access to your computer!
