    New Asus GT-BE19000 and BE6500/BE3600 with KI

    OK, I am starting to learn that different CPUs are used in these routers which I did not know. I thought the RT line uses Broadcom and the TUF lineup uses Mediatek (or is this wrong?), but I didn't know that within the TUF series different CPUs are used. So even though the TUF-BE6500 has a...

    ASUS RT-BE92U BE9700 is now the most popular Asus router on pricerunner.dk.

    Thanks for this information. Very handy to know. So does the BE92U use the same CPU as in the older AX model series? What cores does your AX86U Pro have? I was actually looking at the BE92U, but that is off the list now. I'll stick with keeping track of prices on the RT-BE88U and BE86U if they...

    New Asus GT-BE19000 and BE6500/BE3600 with KI

    I'm a little confused. I've been looking at the specs of the TUF BE3600 and TUF BE6500. The BE3600 shows a 2.0Ghz Quad Core CPU, but the BE6500 tech specs say it has a 1.5Ghz Quad Core CPU. Shouldn't the BE6500 have at least a 2.0Ghz CPU too, or the BE3600 have the worse CPU if it's the lower model?

    Long Term Support - Asuswrt-Merlin Router List

    Yeah, they don't look that great, but then again, I was looking at the GT-AX6000 and that looks really bad. I'm still iffy on buying it due to the looks of it. I actually found on Ebay a New Zealand seller/store that has it for a good price. I contacted Asus to ask if it will work OK in...

    Long Term Support - Asuswrt-Merlin Router List

    Thanks for that info Thanks for the information. Very interesting about them having more features. I think I will pass on them, though, and look for something better hardware wise. What are your thoughts on the TUF-AX4200 and TUF-AX6000. Both have just currently gone on special on Amazon AU...

    Long Term Support - Asuswrt-Merlin Router List

    Interesting. I just looked at the EBG15 and it seems to have VPN Client Wireguard, VPN Client OpenVPN and VPN Fusion, all things I wanted VPN wise. Not sure how either would perform on this hardware, though? I'll have to have a look at prices in AU. Can this be used as the Router and then...

    [ANNOUNCEMENT] Asuswrt-Merlin 386_x devices are no longer supported

    Is this a definite? The only reason I ask if because I've been looking at pricing for secondhand Routers and the RT-AX86U was one of the models I was looking at along with the RT-AX88U. I thought if I found them for a decent price, I could go with one of these. I guess I will just look for the...

    [ANNOUNCEMENT] Asuswrt-Merlin 386_x devices are no longer supported

    It's still going to be my main router that connects to the internet. I don't have any other routers to use. Passwords, I'm OK with, but what do you mean by WAN facing options?

    [ANNOUNCEMENT] Asuswrt-Merlin 386_x devices are no longer supported

    I only just starting using Asuswrt-Merlin less than a year ago and loved it (should have moved to is years ago). Just wanted to say (even though I didn't use it myself) thanks for all the amazing support over the years on some of these older models. I've now only looked at models that support...

    Release RT-BE92U Firmware 3.0.0.6.102_37435-gdd27f25_1059-g807f7_BB0B 12/23/2024

    I'll see how it goes when I get my connection up and running in a few days time (I chose to have the service activated on my day off). I'm OK with a lesser speed than the full 1Gbps. As long as the router itself doesn't crap out trying to handle a 1Gbps connection, I'll keep it a bit longer. If...

    Release RT-BE92U Firmware 3.0.0.6.102_37435-gdd27f25_1059-g807f7_BB0B 12/23/2024

    Thanks. That makes things a bit clearer. This does seem like a good router. Still might consider the RT-BE88U if the price comes down in the next few months here. This is something I didn't actually think about. I've currently got a 100/40Mbps connection which I've had the past few years, but...

    I've only just started looking at routers again for the first time in a few months (I did check the BF/CM and Christmas sales, but there wasn't anything I liked price wise). Now that the official support is over for the AC68U, I started having a bit of a look again, and this router seemed...

    Happy and sad for RT-AC86U

    Thanks for pointing me to the thread about RMerlin adding support for the BE88U and BE86U in the future. That's really great. I can now just keep an eye on pricing and see if either one has any discounts/deals in the coming months.

    Asus Rog Rapture GT-AX6000. No rog version avalaible in last Merlin 3004.388.8

    Yeah, cool, thanks guys. Thanks for the information about the GUIs. As for the GUI itself, I'm more than happy with the regular UI if RMerlin support will still be there for those GT-AX/GT-BE ROG models currently listed.
