is there a planing to do a GPL merge ?That's your answer then. There is no GPL merge in that build.
I think you'll find the answer to that question right here:is there a planing to do a GPL merge ?
The GPL is the GNU General Public License source code archive. There used to be a link to it on the support pages for the RT-AX58U and RT-AX3000, but it's now gone, as is the selection of "Other" in the operating system list.Asus has not released any new GPL for the AX58U (3000) since march. Not sure why they were updating this router all the time now nothing.
I hear ya' brother! Don't see anything in the changelog that would warrant sacrificing these awesome numbersFilthy update of my 3 APs from 386.2_4 Release. No issues so far. All devices re-connected. Leaving main router on 386.2_4 for now.
What app did you use to scan the QR? The security setting/authentication method wil depend on how you set the wireless router's authentication and per clients capability, I don't see how it will differ with the method how you connect. How did you determine WPA/WPA2 from WPA2/WPA3?Observation:
PS: My Wifi settings are sync on both my iPhoneXsMax iOS 14.5.1with my MacBookPro macOS 11.3.1 via KeyChain,
- If I use QR code scan to join my Home WiFi on my iPhoneXsMax , I observed that I get WPA/WPA2 for security setting
- However, if I enter SSID and Password by hand, I get WPA2/WPA3 for security setting
- so, each time before I test I make sure I removed my Home WiFI SSID from both my iPhoneXsMax and MacBookPro. I tried a few times and observation is consistent.
- I do not use Private Address so that my DHCPlist can be respected
PRESERVE THE UPTIME!!!!!!!I hear ya' brother! Don't see anything in the changelog that would warrant sacrificing these awesome numbers

- I used iOS 14.5.1 built-in Scanner on my iPhoneXsMax
- RT-AX88U AiMesh Router's uses Merlin default WPA2 ... that is propagated to both my RT-AC86U AiMesh Node (I see it using Wifi Explorer App on Mac)
- I see WPA/WPA2 or WPA2/WPA3 of my devices from my MacBookPro macOS 11.3.1 (my System Preferences are sync on iCloud)
- System Preferences -> Network -> WiFi -> Advanced
- If I use QR code scan from my iPhoneXsMax the Security becomes WPA/WPA2
- If I enter SSID and Password by hand the Security becomes WPA2/WPA3
- Before I test the above each time, I remove SSID from both iPhone and MacBookPro and validated that it is gone.
- Like I said it is just an observation and reporting it as part of alpha testing, I do not know the technicalities, just showing how I can recreate the reported issue repeatedly in my environment
I do not use wpa2/wpa3 authentication only wpa2 personal. Even if I want to test your scenario I won't be able to determine the authenticated connections cause I don't have a client to check. If your router wireless authentication is set to WPA2/WPA3 the clients will connect either WPA2 or WPA3 could be your MacBook shows a WPA2 connected client shows WPA/WPA2 and WPA3 connected ones shows WPA2/WPA3? But still, why is your Mac showing different results. I'm at my ends.View attachment 33964

Merlin's default Security setting of WPA2 is propagated correctly to both my AiMesh Nodes:I do not use wpa2/wpa3 authentication only wpa2 personal.

Just curious, if you're using Aimesh why is your authentication WPA2/WPA3? Did asus fix that?
Thanks, is it documented somewhere? Thanks.known limitation of the QR support.
I still don't understand what's happening. Are you telling me you can setup the iPhone and Mac WPA2/WPA3 diifferently from the rest of the clients? Maybe, I don't understand aimesh as I don't use it but my understanding is the global authentication is what the Aimesh router is set to and I thought you can not use WPA2/WPA3 because when you set to, the warning about using it is not recommended.Merlin's default Security setting of WPA2 is propagated correctly to both my AiMesh Nodes:

- Below is a screen shot from my WiFi Explorer App on MacBookPro showing WPA2(PSK) settings
- I always see WPA2/WPA3 setting on iPhone and MacBookPro ever since I started using AiMesh,
- I accidentally found out while playing with the new QR Quote, that with QR Quote it now iPhone and MacBookPro got set to WPA/WPA2, therefore, reporting here.
