Fair point.The OP is using an AX55U which is not supported by RMerlin. Therefore, being it's not an option, stock firmware will do fine.

As others have said, @RMerlin mentioned a Factory Reset is not required, at least coming from a few revisions back.Some say yes, some say its not necessary. Being one of the few with zero problems I say definitely yes - especially with such a large upgrade.
I think it would be "a road to hell"...;-)Is it a middle-road solution to export and import settings again? That will not mess up anything will it?
Would it be worth buying an AX56U they’re supported and at the moment I can get it for 35% off, cheaper than Amazon Australia is selling the AX55The AX55 is not supported AFAIK. I have one set up as a wireless mesh node with the stock firmware. Works great for me.
Target Wake Time setting disabled?about 2 - 3 hours and then all clients started disconnecting.
You can add custom host names tied to hardware MAC addresses, but not static IP addresses, when Intranet access is disabled (as it should be for IoT devices).I love the Merlin a lot wit big thanks to Merlin.
Is there any chance of getting DHCP assigning fixed addres at the Guest network. I currently used that for my IOT devices to isolate those from my primary PC network.
It would be nice if some those also got a fixed addres. Or am I talking BS now?
Use Guest 2 to assign fixed ip as they are in the same IP range then disable intranet access for security isolation.I love the Merlin a lot wit big thanks to Merlin.

I have RT-AX86S and no problem with it. I had it on Asus stock firmware 3.0.0.4.388.20566 before flashing to Merlin’s 388.1 and doing factory/jffs reset.If you are using an RT-AX86s please use RT-AX86U_386.5_2.zip this is the stable firmware for you're router. The rest has many problems with being stable.
I had many issues with it, but normally I could flash it without being at stock first. So I don't know why I have to lose all settings for this update.I have RT-AX86S and no problem with it.

Different environment/settings, different outcome. But start from scratch is the best way forward.
Quite a mixed feedbacks with 388.1 especially AX86U/S. Particularly with nodes/AiMesh/5Ghz. Slow start on my 5Ghz on reboot but not a big issue and no dropouts. When I finally flash my AX86U, decided not to restore jffs backup. Hard work for one dev providing good FW for hundreds of us and thank you @RMerlinI had many issues with it, but normally I could flash it without being at stock first. So I don't know why I have to lose all settings for this update.
