    Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 and Merlin firmware

    Hi folks, hi Merlin :) I am upgrading to GT-Ax6000 from AX89X for two main reasons: 1) Lack of VPN tunnels per client and 2) No Merlin firmware support because of Qualcomm chipsets. Is it fair to assume that Merlin will be happy to support this router at certain point, like Ax11000 and...

    Does Merlin Support SMB2 or not?

    Do current Merlin releases support SMB2 or not? I've seen things on line which suggests it does. And others which suggest it doesn't. I just bought a used RT-AC68U because there is a Merlin install image for it, RT-AC68U_386.5_2.trx . But after I loaded it into the Asus, Windows Explorer...

Is this a strategic decision or is it just a...
