In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, it seems like the statement in post #22 is just speculation.Yep vacation time, we will all be back in september.. ,
Wifi 7 models are getting monthly firmware updates while the Wifi 6/6e Pro models haven't received a new firmware since June 2023. Some of the Pro models haven't even received 3.0.0.6.102 firmware.In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, it seems like the statement in post #22 is just speculation.

I fully agree. Having taken the plunge and bought 3 of these units (which I am very happy with generally) it does seem that Asus has lost interest in them for some reason. This is very disappointing and I hope that it's just a temporary blip as the current stock 3.0.0.6.102_21514 firmware is unusable for me as my nodes use different WiFi channels to my main router when I try it.5 months since the last version 3.0.0.6.102_21514 was released on 20 June 2023, it does not take much to see that Asus is no longer a priority these devices and focus on WiFi 7, surely they will release some update but do not expect much from now on, evidence .... 5 months without updates.
And the source code currently available does not correspond to version 3.0.0.6.102_21514, but to version 3.0.0.4.388_23110, released on July 4, 2023.
Without the source code of the new firmware version, we will hardly have new versions of merlin with the asus improvements.
I really don't understand your logic to say that Asus support is on the ball with these models. RMerlin doesn't prove anything as he can work with the source code which is largely common across the models, however he is dependant on Asus to release binaries for the closed source component. Therefore he could continue to support models using older binaries.RMerlin can do nothing without Asus. That proves my point (and your 'take') that Asus has not lost interest here.
There are no unlimited resources. Good things come to those who wait (until proven otherwise).
