    New software update Display of Asus software in the RT-BE88U router

    Asuswrt-Merlin does not support automatic updates, so you definitely did not do that. As @Tech9 already said, the update check reports Asuswrt-Merlin updates, not stock updates.

    IPv6 and media bridge/repeater mode

    Because in 10 years, most of that code has changed.

    Yes, they all sit behind my primary router.

    I don't need AiMesh, a single router can cover my whole appartment.

    My two router nurseries (November 2025)

    I went for the cheapest I could find, because I thought Kaza too expensive and they didn't have enough outlets. These two are 6 outlets each. And if you pair them using the Tuya app instead of Geeni's own (Tuya is the original manufacturer), then they can also be managed through Home Assistant.

    Speed Test Upload Limit RT-BE88U

    PPPoE implementation is identical to stock firmware. I barely get any CPU usage myself with a 1 Gbps PPPoE connection.

    That one is home made. :)

    My two router nurseries (November 2025)

    The old setup is more messy, there's a bunch of unplugged AC adapters on my desk next to it, with labels identifying their router. I have to untangle and plug them as needed, plus only two Ethernet cables that need to be plugged to the appropriate router. The location for the newer setup is...

    [Announcement] Removal of AiCloud from Asuswrt-Merlin

    AiCloud support can be disabled at compile time, it's a build time option. If the device supports CaptivePortal then lighttpd will still be included, but none of the code used to enable and run AiCloud will be. And if the device doesn't support CaptivePortal, then lighttpd won't be included at...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.6 is now available

    You cannot use lighttpd yourself. It's a customized version that's specifically for use with AiCloud and Covchili. Custom config files will be ignored/overwritten.

    RT-BE96U, which is why it's not in those pictures. There's also an RT-AX86U_Pro and the RT-BE58_Go not shown there because they are in another location. The RT-AX86U_Pro used to run 24/7 for fulltime testing, and the RT-BE58_Go because it was so small it was easy to put it next to that...

    My two router nurseries (November 2025)

    First is the older AX models, second is the newer AX and BE models. The older unsupported models are in a box in the closet. The newer models are all plugged in to a pair of smart power bars, so I can remotely turn on any specific router as needed, either through a mobile app or through Home...

    RT-AX58U with RT-AC68U AiMesh node - all devices dropping from all networks regularly

    Modern Asuswrt-Merlin models will display channel usage on the Wireless Log page. I believe Winfi also reports it (at least it used to back in the 1.x days, I haven't checked if 3.x still does).

    Possible to disable constant DNS checks to dns.msftncsi.com?

    Don`t mess with a system intended to properly detect if your WAN is up or not.
