Who knows what ASUS is thinking.Update:
seems like there is no firmware update since last june. is it normal?
I think it would come down to your specific needs and use-case. While stock AsusWRT has stagnated in terms of updates, it has support for VLAN's and Guest Network Pro, and you are able to get support from ASUS if something goes awry. However, we do not have a crystal ball that can tell us when ASUS will update their firmware. It might happen, it might not. If it does happen, it could happen tomorrow, or another year from now. Its hard to tell because the next generation of stock AsusWRT updates seem to be stuck in perpetual beta for some models.Is it better to migrate to Merlin firmware if we consider official update is 10 months old?
AI Mesh does work on MerlinI too, would love to run Merlin but the AI mesh I am not able to get working using Merlin firmware...
I know some have, I just have not been able to. I spent an entire afternoon trying to get it working and never could.AI Mesh does work on Merlin
