Asus RT-AC88U best software

[rt2016]

Hi Guys,

I do have a question around the software for the Asus RT-AC88U.

Actually I'm confused what way Asus like to go, for me it looks like they fire software to the marked without having a clear goal.

First the beta release ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 9.0.0.4.380.2697
[Beta release]

and now a new version ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.3341.

What exactly does it mean:

ASUS has been dedicated to cooperate with third party developers to come up with more innovative features.
To comply with regulatory amendments, we have modified firmware verification rule to ensure better firmware quality.
This version is not compatible with all previously released ASUS firmware and un-certified third party firmware.

Does it mean when installing the image that I can't use a open source image afterwards.

Let me have your input what you guys are going for.

best regards
rt2016
