Okay but you listed ASUS RT-AX88U -Wi-Fi 6 - 347,96€ so just wait for RT-BE86U to be released save up money
None, just different maintainers. Gnuton is based on my code, just for different models.

I didn't ask only if it would be supported, but if it "was" already supported.
[FAQ] READ ME FIRST before posting a question
Model support Q: Will you support the RT-xxxxxx that was just announced? A: See detailed answer in post #3. Q: Will you support router XYZ from this non-Asus manufacturer? A: No. Asuswrt-Merlin only targets Asus-supported models, due to both technical and legal reasons. Q: I'm having...www.snbforums.com
All you posted was a link regarding "if".
I have no idea if it is already supported since a lot of models are supported under another name.
I am already aware of the "if" part.
No.

Wrong models.ASUS Unveils RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router
Hi everyone! I put my hands on this device few days ago and I'm really enjoying the experience. I still have to understand the GUI and all the "hidden" functions around, anyway, does anyone can suggest me a SFP+ 10Gbit RJ45? As far as I know they are not all the same and I didn't find any...
I already posted the "was" part and you chose to not read it for some reason.
I posted another TUF model, but RMerlin already said no, so all good.
I'm still looking and considering my options.
I haven't moved into my new apartment yet, so i still have time
Just got a new PC with a 2.5gb network port, and the default ASUS firmware for this router includes iperf3.
So took the opportunity to do a little iperf run on this device.

PC->Router
Throughput seems alright. I assume not hitting 2.5gig exactly is due to encapsulation?

Nice, didn't know Asus had added iPerf3 to their routers. This also made me discover that there's a but in the latest firmware on the GT-AX6000 where speeds from the router are limited to 1 Gbps.

Down to £288.99 in the Uk at the minute. £40 more than the AX88U Pro (£244) and £10 less than the BE86U (£299)

I just ordered a RT-BE88U to tinker a bit. I'm mostly interested to see if the wifi range is any better than my RT-AX86U Pro which disappointingly has worse range than my RT-AC86U.

[Review] ASUS GT-AX6000 vs RT-AX88U Pro vs RT-AX86U Pro
After I tested tested each of the three routers, I decided to make a dedicated video to find out which one of them is the better WiFi 6 router. I look forward to any questions and feedback.

By the way, the UniFi equipment Sam is talking about at the end of the video is $403, Ubiquiti US store prices.
- Cloud Gateway Max, $199
- U7 Pro, $189
- PoE+ Adapter 30W, $15
It adds 6GHz band support, UCG-Max has a built-in 4-port 2.5GbE switch. Extra switch may not be needed. Extra AP may be needed for larger spaces. Single AP may have less coverage compared to home router. Two APs will have better coverage and aggregate throughput.
Some limitations of the above relevant to home use:
- U7 Pro has a cooling fan inside. In warm environments it may not be dead silent device. May be an issue for some home users.
- UniFi networks don't support WPS. Folks with WPS-only setup IoT devices have to use a workaround to connect their devices to the network.
