Asus Rog Gt-Ax6000

Hi everyone, I have always used custom firmware from merlin and I wanted to know if there will be further updates for my router. I know it is not fair to ask but I am honest, a router without merlin firmware can never really give its best.

Of course it's still supported, and will be for a while. There's no ROG version right now, but the non ROG version for the GT-AX6000 will work just fine - the difference is mainly cosmetic. Latest version is 3004.388.8_2.

Out of curiosity, what makes you think there won't be future firmware update for your router? The latest 3004.388.8_2 Asus-Merlin firmware for the GT-AX6000:

Unless Rmerlin changes his mind for some reason your router should continue to receive Asus-Merlin updates so long as Asus continues to provide GPL's to RMerlin for your router model.

This router as well as other AX-class RT Pro and GT models with stock Asuswrt 5.0 released are de facto in Asuswrt-Merlin maintenance mode on the last Asuswrt 4.0 GPL provided many months ago. All new Asuswrt-Merlin Asuswrt 5.0 based firmware is for BE-class routers only. When and if GT-AX6000 (and the others the same generation hardware) will get new base Asuswrt-Merlin is to be confirmed later and depends on when and if Asus provides workable Asuswrt 5.0 GPL. Some of the flagship models like GT-AXE16000 and ZenWiFi ET12 Pro still don't have official Asuswrt 5.0 release.

I would look at RT-BE86U or RT-BE88U if purchasing new router today. At least they have confirmed new base Asuswrt-Merlin coming.
