AC86U Upgrade

[bilboSNB]

Does the AX86U have a faster processor than the AC86U, if not what is the next model up that does and is supported by Rmerlin?

Edit looks like the ax is quad vs the ac dual core, so assuming better open vpn performance? Or is openvpn still single core?

OpenVPN itself is single threaded. It will only perform better to the extent that its access to that thread is NOT being shared w/ other processes due to the availability of other cores by those other processes. Bottomline, unless you're pushing that router to the max for some reason, it's NOT going to make much difference.

ASUS RT-AC87U / FW Merlin 384.13_10 vulnerable due to dnsmasq?

I have seen that, as for other ASUS routers, there is a new beta FW for the RT AC87U that solves a lot of vulnerabilities. Are these ones related to the dnsmasq problem?: CVE-2020-25681, CVE-2020-25682, CVE-2020-25683, CVE-2020-25687, CVE-2020-25684, CVE-2020-25685, CVE-2020-25686 If the answer...

If you had to buy one today, which would you pick between the ax88u and the ax86u, if they were both the same price?

AX86U is the newer model and with better specs.

The AX86U is likely where I'll go next from my AC86U, which has been flawless for the 3-4 years I've been using it so far. It replaced the AC68U, so I should continue with the vertical standing theme really.
