AX-88U (Non Pro) bad decision?

[badplay]

Hi

I replaced my r7000 old one with the ax 88 u but what i dont see at the purchase that that is the non pro version. now i am worried if that were a bad decision? i got it for 140 bucks (used) in my country no one sells the PRO version as USED. some times there are some ax 6000 to get. but i desided for the ax88u what i dont know is all in this forum talk about the pro version. SO should i sell it ?

GT-AX6000 is newer hardware device and will have longer Asus support, but Asuswrt-Merlin situation for it is unknown:

Current plans regarding separate version branches

I thought I'd make a post clarifying the current plans regarding the separate versions (386 and 388), and future plans. 386 branch: This branch is for older models that Asus didn't move to the 388 codebase. This includes three Broadcom SDKs: - SDK 6.x (RT-AC68U) - SDK 7.14 (RT-AC88U...

This router was already moved by Asus to Asuswrt 5.0 3.0.0.6 firmware. Current Asuswrt-Merlin is 3.0.0.4 based firmware.

If what you find in stock Asuswrt firmware is good enough - it's a better purchase in 2024. RT-AX88U is 2018 model router.

Then use what you've got. Still capable router, still supported, just older model in 2024. Not the end of the World. The price was about right.
