Hi thanks for including ROG version in 3004.388.8_2 release!
My router is GT-AXE16000 and currently is running on 388.7 ROG. I tried to apply 388.8_2 ROG version, but it keeps failing. Any suggestions?

If you are asking about the 3006.x firmware with it's Guest Network/VLAN support, then see the other discussions on the 3006.x firmware Merlin development, why only a couple of routers are currently supported at this time, and why there isn't a solid time frame of when/if other AsusWRT 5.0 supported routers will be added.First of all, thank you for all the work you do. I apologize if this is not the correct place for this. I have an RT-AX86Pro. I see that the OEM fw supports VLANs. Are there plans to do so with Merlin? Is there an ETA?
All good here too - dirty upgrade, recycles completed no issues to report. DDNS good, DNS Director good, VPN Director good. IOT/Nest/TP-Link/Devices/Wife happy. Heh heh.
Also, finally got that upgraded upload speed from Rogers. LOL! About damn time.

Those are the right speeds - 2Gbps down, 200Mbps up. It's still the old coax/cable system here - still got the old XB7 modem. No fibre in our area at all for either Rogers or Bell. This must be DOCSIS 4.0 then I'd guess? They've been promoting "higher" upload speeds in our area recently.How much do you pay for 2G/200Mbps? (or I didn't get the the speeds right?)
Do you get Bridge ONT/ SFP+ included in the monthly fee or you pay extra for it?
Delete your old vpn profiles. There’s new killswitch implementationI tried both updates of 3004.388.8 and 3004.388.8_2 and I cannot get any of my systems on the local network to browse out to the internet. Ping to internet sites do not work either. The router will do a speed test no problem, so the connection to the internet works that way, just no system can even though it is getting IP without any issues. However, the version of 3004.388.7_0 works just fine with the same settings as 3004.388.8X. Is there a routing issue?

thanks for the suggestion. I triple checked and confirmed I downloaded correct firmware (for GT-AXE16000).I had the same problem. Then I found out I was using a firmware version for a different router.
It’s DOCSIS 3.1Those are the right speeds - 2Gbps down, 200Mbps up. It's still the old coax/cable system here - still got the old XB7 modem. No fibre in our area at all for either Rogers or Bell.

There was an offer on my Rogers account for a bundle of Rogers Pro 2G Internet, Rogers Ultimate TV and Rogers Home Phone for $185/month, which was like $10/month less than I was already paying for the 1.5G service and all the same stuff so I "upgraded" to it, save $10/month and get the better upload speeds.

So I think you should manually go through the GUI menus, write down or screenshot necessary information. Then do a factory reset via the reset button, wait about 5-10 minutes for things to settle down before flashing the new firmware again.reboot the router then tried updating to 388.8_2 again, still got same error. After this message I reboot the router firmware stays as old version (388.7)

Anyone got GT-AXE16000 updated to 388.8_2 ROG successfully?
Nice. Was not sure if DOCSIS 3.1 supported those speeds but a quick google says it does. Support for up to 10Gbps downstream and 1Gbps upstream. Let's GO! I know Rogers has been testing DOCSIS 4.0... but that would likely need a new modem on my end as well.It’s DOCSIS 3.1
Companies started upgrading equipment last year in the US and I presume Canada.
Standard has been available for many years with modems available 5+ years ago… but internet companies are slooow.

Thank you SO MUCH for using the correct abbreviations for metric units! It makes posts so much easier to read, and to understand what the user is concerned about.2Gbps down, 200Mbps up
It's likely mid-split or high-split speeds like Xfinity (mid) and Spectrum (high) here are implementing in some areas. Xfinity is offering better upload speeds while Spectrum is now offering symmetrical speeds. Spectrum recently lit it up in my neighborhood and I went from 500Mbps/20Mbps to 500Mbps/500Mbps.Nice. Was not sure if DOCSIS 3.1 supported those speeds but a quick google says it does. Support for up to 10Gbps downstream and 1Gbps upstream. Let's GO! I know Rogers has been testing DOCSIS 4.0... but that would likely need a new modem on my end as well.
And yes, these companies move at a glacier pace when it comes to upgrades.
Because they’re glacier-sized. And are laughing all the way to the bank/dividends.Nice. Was not sure if DOCSIS 3.1 supported those speeds but a quick google says it does.
