    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.

    New models to be introduced with 3006.102.2

    Just wants to say thanks to RMerlin for adding support for these routers in the future. Someone else pointed me to this thread as I was mostly looking at the RT-BE88U (I don't need 6Ghz), but thought I'd wait and see what the RT-BE86U has spec wise as I also don't need that many ports, but then...

    Happy and sad for RT-AC86U

    I don't see the BE86U on the list? Has it recently been announced it'll have Merlin support? I've been holding out hoping that the BE88U will have support sometime in the future. Not in a hurry to upgrade myself from the AC68U. If I see a deal price, I'll do it.

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

    Thanks for the reply guys. Fair enough on his part. What he said makes complete sense. Too much work to stuff about trying to fix UI issues on top trying to do the regular UI. I don't have any issue whatsoever using the regular blue RT style UI if it works fine. So using the regular UI might...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    This is what I've assumed, that if it doesn't already have it, then it likely won't get it. Having said that, I don't think the AX88U Pro, AX86 Pro, GT-AX6000 etc. came with 3006, but they now have it, so maybe some models still might get it, but probably unlikely if they don't already have a...

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

    Hi, I just wanted to ask a similar question if it's OK? Not sure if I should have asked here or in the 388.8_2 thread as it is specific to this router model. A member at an AU forum told me that support may be getting dropped from all ROG models in the future. If so, does that just mean the ROG...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    I didn't think it was fact, though. You told me what current models have it. I thought there's still a chance some other models would get it. I don't understand the criteria, for example, of the regular version of the RT-AX86U not getting the 3.0.0.6 at some point as it looks good enough spec...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    So it's pretty much settled that none of the 3.0.0.4 routers that aren't Pro models in the RT range, and/or most of the ROG models (GT range) definitely won't get the 3.0.0.6? Since you bought up ExpertWiFi, was just curious if the ExpertWiFi and ZenWiFi range, do they have the same general...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    Seems like the list is a minimum amount of time as it says this : https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1051929/ Also, looking at the list, it seems incomplete, as they don't have a bunch of models included such as the RT-AX86U and AX88U non-pro versions (unless these weren't released in the UK?)...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    What list is this? How long Asus are going to support the Routers for? If so, where do I view it? Where do I read about Openwrt and how to use it? Would it have all the VPN features such as VPN Fusion/Wireguard support etc.? I was curious how Merlin chooses what Routers to support. So it's...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    Alright, so definitely not the best idea then. Interesting about those Chinese versions if you've seen people from AU here that have them and are able to select a different region. I wonder if I can find the Chinese versions at a cheaper price. I guess I could look for some of those, but it...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    Ahh right, got it. I found the AX58U V2 on Amazon AU, but I think you've found the German model for that price (I don't think we even have the V2 in AU). The one I clicked on ships from Amazon Germany. I think the AU version of the AX58U is around $250 on special/discount, and I don't think that...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    Alright, darn, didn't know that. That sort of screws that idea. How would firmware updates work in that scenario? Do you mean I was saying the streaming service is not consistently HD? When using a VPN client software (for example VPNs app for my Android TV media player), the streams are HD...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    I understand and that is what I thought too, but doesn't seem so when I last tried streaming certain things, the quality wasn't consistently HD like when I was streaming similar stuff with the RT-AC86U, so I gave up doing so on some devices (I just started using the devices that can support...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    Well I still have to get something better at some point soon, as OpenVPN performance will never get better on the RT-AC68U. If I still had the RT-AC86U, I'd consider still using that for quite a while longer. I also have no clue how to use this FreshTomato (not sure if there is a lot to learn)...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    Yes, I am not in a hurry. Since I've now decided to try and get an AX86U Pro minimum and not bother looking at any of the lower/mid-range models, and only Routers that support AsusWRT 5.0 (I see in your signature the AX86U Pro already has the 5.0 update on current firmwares?). I'm going to have...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    Thanks for the reply. So support has already ended for the AC models? There won't be anymore firmware updates going forward? Does that mean also that Merlin will drop those models too? I assume the older AX models aren't getting AsusWRT 5.0 such as the RT-AX88U and AX86U non-pro versions...

    Question/s about possibly upgrading Router. Not sure what to upgrade to, or if to upgrade at all right now.

    Hi, So I am currently using an my very old RT-AC68U as I went back to it because my RT-AC86U failed well over a year ago. The main reason I was using the RT-AC86U was OpenVPN client performance, as I had my VPN service running through the Router when I wanted to access geo-restricted streaming...

    "Best" Asus Router for VPN

    Since factory reset was brought up, I just wanted to ask, should you always do a factory reset when upgrading to these firmwares (should you also do it before or after upgrading to Merlin)? Also, what is the correct way to do a factory reset? With the official Asuswrt firmware updates, I just...
