    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    Finally some good fracking news! Sunday my spanking brand new RX6800XT died after an hour of playing with it.. Big OOFFFH Big Sad SAD! This news brightens the mood! I installed it too. Seems to run fine. Let's wait for updates.

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    AC86U is just rock solid if you want a decent allrounder with great Merlin support. It's still going strong for me in the office. And for Wifi 6E. Not everyone is all about WIFI like explained above. 6E is not a valid reason not to buy a router right now. WIFI AC is still very viable. And 6 is...

    Aquantia AQC10x firmware update

    Somehow it doesn't allow me to update? MSI 10G SuperLan card.. pretty sure it's an Aquantia made one.. the drivers are just stock Aquantia drivers?+ . UPDATE: Got it working by simply deciphering my hardware IDs from Device Manager. I added: <pciid vid="1d6a" did="07B1" sdid="B912"...

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    Found a possible solution for the slow SAMBA performance. But I can't get it going somehow... https://github.com/JackMerlin/USBAccelerator Any help with this? UPDATE: Got it working from the other link below on the page. Not much luck though Stock @ 140MB/s: Mod @130MB/s:

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    Thanks for confirming. I'm pretty sure it makes for a very stable gigabit connection though. But I've ordered a Aquantia AQtion AQN-107 10G (MSI add-in card second hand new for $45 from TRX40 board) NIC to replace the faulty Realtek 2.5G onboard instead. I won't be able to enjoy the full...

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    For me Wifi is just for my handhelds.. and they do fine on Wifi AC and AX... Small apartment.. nobody uses 5Ghz here even... it's all 2.4Ghz... cheap Chinese ISP modem routers... I have a loft where to top floor isn't concrete but a wooden structure. Wifi AC/AX blows just straight through it...

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    My realtek lan still keeps popping out. I think I have a faulty chip or something. I'm trying to get my Dual gigabit Intel card working as a team with dynamic link aggregation on the AX86U and even though Windows shows me 2gbit in the team adapter status... it still only does 115MB/s to my...

    RT-AX86U/RT-AX5700 hits the FCC

    I got it for 1450RMB which translates to 210 USD or 280 CAD. Gotta love China for that. I do get some funky Chinese options though from Tencent and NetEase for speeding up game ping etc... Wonder how that works since I flashed the latest firmware from the Asus global site... it must have some...

    The rmerlin donation thread.

    Donated yesterday. Hope donations can keep coming for future support. It just makes our device a higher class. It's a no-brainer upgrade. Thanks Merlin

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    Thanks for your explanation. I saw the AC68U is most popular. AC86U a solid second place. I hope the AX86U will be widely spread too eventually but it's a bit early to tell. As an early adopter I'm ready to wait it out. Thank you for all you've done for the community and are still doing. My...

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    I had the same questions as you. Now having bought it anyway I can tell you this. The unit is almost the same as the AC86U except for Wifi AX (which in theory is an upgrade but practically I don't notice much difference since I don't game on my wifi. I use cabled for that and Wifi for my...

    RT-AX86U/RT-AX5700 hits the FCC

    It's solid so far. Doesn't let my Realtek 2.5G crash like the AC86U did strangely...

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    You might be right as the 68U is the cheaper one and good enough for most homes. The 86U though is more for slightly more demanding power users I guess. It's faster (newer) than the 88U. Hence my reasoning. I think by now it has overtaken the 68U. I just got my AX86U and it's good but I'm so...

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    I bought one just now. Should arrive tomorrow. I'll run it stock for a while. See how that flies. But I'm on my knees praying Merlin will support it eventually. I mean it's the direct successor of the AC86U which is by far the most popular Asus Merlin router out there I bet. I looked at the...

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Quick questions for the RT-AX88U users here. I'm on a RT-AC86U now and I like to use it as a NAS with a 8TB HDD connected to it. And although speeds are very decent for a router steadily 110MB/s, I can't enable the security features because it will take too much of the processor and throttle the...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.67SF & 1.0.2.67.1SF

    The data throughput is also to cry about. I think after upgrading a few versions this puppy needs a factory reset! I'll give that a try later. I just replaced it with an Asus RT-AC86U with Merlin.. and boy that's a relieve from the retro genie interface and outdated neglected options.. With the...

    There we go. That did the trick. Thanks so much! And how to edit the config file?
