    Yikes--what's so awful about the ET12?

    I'm new - router recommendations?

    Have you gotten any sense that the newer routers are less reliable than the older ones?

    I'm new - router recommendations?

    What's the general longevity of Asus' routers? I don't upgrade often, preferring to use hardware for as many years as possible.

    Is Draytek suitable for novices?

    Yes, one of the reasons I'm apprehensive about Draytek is the apparent lack of support, information, or other kinds of resources. There doesn't seem to be a large community of Draytek end-users.

    Is Draytek suitable for novices?

    Hello, It’s time for a new router. My needs are modest; I just want reliable, secure hardware that performs well. Draytek seems like it could be a good option, particularly the Vigor 2135ax. (Yes, I’m aware of Draytek’s recent security fiasco!) I’m not a total novice, but I don’t want to...

    One more question about the Merlin firmware. (Yes, it's likely one that's answered elsewhere, so thanks for your indulgence.) According to the Merlin wiki, "Priorities: Stability > performance > features." What about security? As you all may be aware, security among consumer-grade routers is...

    I'm new - router recommendations?

    It appears your support for the AX88U Pro is preliminary, at least as of March 20 (388.2 Beta 1). Assuming I ordered one tomorrow, would the beta firmware be stable and safe enough for me to install? Is it an indication that you plan to support the AX88U Pro going forward?

    I'm new - router recommendations?

    @RMerlin, if I may ask a potentially uncomfortable question - No doubt the Merlin firmware is a major undertaking--a massive project for one person, especially if you've got other obligations. Have you thought about how long you plan to continue this work? What would happen if you couldn't...

    I'm new - router recommendations?

    Many thanks for the nice thread. GT-AX11000 Pro aside--it really isn't my style--which routers have the BCM4912 / BCM6715? I'm not willing to wait for Wi-Fi 7, but I would like newer hardware that would allow Merlin compatibility for the longest possible time.

    I'm new - router recommendations?

    Hello - It's time for a new router, and I want to get the best Merlin-compatible model I reasonably can. My space and needs are modest. Long-term reliability and viability are important; gaming and extended signal coverage are not. Still, I'll consider a gaming-oriented model if it's the best...
