    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.13 / 386.13_2 is now available for AC models

    Yes, you normally want to be on the latest version for all the security fixes and benefits. From such an old version that you're currently running, you will probably need a full reset to get a stable network afterward. The following link may help...

    Release ASUS GT-AX6000 Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_34791

    If they had released a GPL source, RMerlin would have it already.

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    @wisecoffee, that post wasn't directed at you. That was to the poster above.

    asus rt-ac68u disconnecting from internet issues firmware 386.3_2

    Sorry, can't help with that. I don't believe any consumer router should be used as a NAS. For security, reliability and dependability reasons.

    asus rt-ac68u disconnecting from internet issues firmware 386.3_2

    My solution is I don't toggle settings on/off. Why do you need to change settings that often?

    asus rt-ac68u disconnecting from internet issues firmware 386.3_2

    Today, the best bang for the buck model with RMerlin support and proven stable and reliable is the RT-AX88U Pro.

    ASUS ExpertWiFi EBG15 as main router

    Best? Buy, test in your environment, and enjoy or return as necessary.

    New wireless router - not too expensive

    You picked the better/best model today. The RT-AX68U was also great for the price, but today it is EOL. https://www.bing.com/search?q=asus+eol&form=ANNTH1&refig=5695e0e503bb468d84ef9ff33437cda0&pc=U531

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    This is a tech forum. Writing/Reading means being precise and verifying too. No heart? The time I put in here is not paid, it is for others to benefit from my experience. Nuance and reading between the lines, without making assumptions (and, always the worst assumptions), is required.

    3 pack ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 vs. 3 AX86U?

    For me, when I care about the form factor, I'm bleeding money. Function over form, always.

    Asus AIMesh Guest network issues

    Okay, brick walls are a great reason for 4 routers. :) I would definitely change the Guest network to 5GHz (less penetration of the walls and therefore, less interference to the other nodes).

    3 pack ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 vs. 3 AX86U?

    $57 over 5 years is just over $0.03 per day. That is not a budget concern. On the other hand, spending $258 today and needing to spend at least $315 in the immediate/near future is a waste of money. I don't only recommend just what customers need. I give them all the facts and they make...

    asus rt-ac68u disconnecting from internet issues firmware 386.3_2

    Depends on the client, and the environment, of course. But improvements will be there. Is Wi-Fi 6 Worth It Wi-Fi 6 Pt 2

    3 pack ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 vs. 3 AX86U?

    As a network device that offers a single 2.5GbE connection, yes, it is crippled. Either WAN or LAN, not both. And this hardware imbalance is not worth the savings of $57 (or less, with sales) over many years of ownership. Not just a lower-end SKU, it is marketing bs at its finest. And...

    Upgrade Router - How to keep devices setup

    Why would you reconfigure your network twice? Unless you're selling the AXE16000 to finance the WiFi 7 router? I'm hoping you will use the new WiFi 7 router as the main, correct?

    asus rt-ac68u disconnecting from internet issues firmware 386.3_2

    Your main router is EOL and the latest firmware is from last month. You're okay for now, but you have a small window to upgrade your hardware to supported status. Then you can use the RT-AC88U as a node if needed (AX-class hardware is far superior to AC-class). The link below shows what you...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    Just looking out for you before you order what you stated and find out later it isn't equivalent. Also, the thread doesn't mean everyone is talking about just the thread. ;)

    Transferring the cfg file to another model

    And particularly using an old backup config file from 386.xxx level firmware to 388.xxx level firmware on a 4+ year newer router. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/merlin-on-asus-ax86u-question.74295/#post-708304

    No, that is not what you asked for. Details matter here. :)
