AX6000/AX-88U Supported?

[wizin]

Getting a 2 day used one for $230, making sure its worth and used with Merlin. Just confused with AX6000 wording on it
Currently using AC-86U, hoping to use that as mesh instead of AC-68U still in return window from Amazon ( purchased for $170 w/ taxes )

The AX88U is indeed fully supported by Merlin.

Return this RT-AC68U. This router comes often on sale for 125CAD.

Nope the AX92U is not supported by Merlin.

how abt AX92U

RT-AX92U is older model 3-radio router with single AX radio. It had no firmware update for a long time, comes often on sale or liquidation price. Perhaps EOL product soon. Stores are clearing old stock.

AX88u on Amazon US used is $196, with 30 day return. Not sure the 86U is much of an advantage over the 68U as a mesh node if you have wired backhaul.

GNUton's builds support AX92u (currently in beta). https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng

If you get one for cheap, AX92u would make a decent AiMesh node. AX radio acts as backhaul band + 2.4/5Ghz as access bands for clients.
