New Around Here
Hello
I am new here, so I also don't have much knowledge about firmware, but I recently bought this router to replace a router that I have had for more than 10 years and while reading I found many comments in other forums and reddit that when updating the firmware the router becomes unstable, understand that the connection drops a lot and the performance is slow
I just saw the Asus website and there are many firmwares available and recently I see that there are now custom firmwares
I don't know how much difference there would be between the last one available on the Asus website and the last one available from Merlin.
----------
Likewise, I also need to expand the network coverage and I found that I can add nodes like the ZenWiFi AX XD5 or XT8 (both within my budget) are "ideal" for what I am looking for.
but just like when I started looking for information about the firmware for this, here it was worse, comments that the connection becomes really slow, or that the connection is intermittent and in the worst case that the nodes can never connect more to the router or to each other and the only solution is to do a factory reset
The latter are comments that I found from months ago. That's why I don't know how the situation is with these ZenWiFi
I hope that someone who is up to date on these issues can give me a concrete answer so I can safely update my router and make the right decision when buying the nodes.
Thank you
