Yeah it's going to absolutely need Merlin support for me to purchase. As soon as I realized the AXE16000 had Merlin support I was all over it. MmmmGT-BE98 with RMerlin gives me that "special" feeling, and my only prohibitive issue would be cost.
Absolutely zero issues with current setup, yet the evilness in my wicked heart demands I desire that GT-BE98! But only if it gets RMerlin FW
Probably not - at least from Broadcom and not anything ARM-based really. They're very capable chips but once you begin turning on features like QoS or any kind of packet inspection, firewalls etc etc, you will really bog the CPU down and your throughput will take a massive hit. I think the only real way to get around that problem is to spend *a lot* of money on an enterprise grade router or build your own Pfsense box with a beefy CPU.Praying that something like this finally has a CPU that is worth upgrading from the AX88U for.

I wish they had USB4/Thunder bolt modules that you plug-in and have 10 port 1gig, 2.5gig and 10gig. wifi. That would be cool.Yeah it's going to absolutely need Merlin support for me to purchase. As soon as I realized the AXE16000 had Merlin support I was all over it. Mmmm

Nothing surprising there. Beside the fact this is the latest technology (so it carries a premium for that), Wifi 7 also requires three wifi SoCs to handle 2.4/5/6 GHz bands, which increases costs.Surprised at the pricing of WiFi 7 routers, the Netgear and a few others are looking at $700.
Also, surprised for the power consumption, at lease the flagship wifi 7 routers that comes with a 60W (19V/3.16A) power adapter.Surprised at the pricing of WiFi 7 routers, the Netgear and a few others are looking at $700.
That`s nothing new, three-band routers from Asus already ship with a 65W AC adapter. I suspect it could be in part because they are standardizing them on laptop AC adapters, so it reduces the cost thanks to the higher volume of these adapters that they buy, versus having to source a separate unique SKU for the router. I vaguely remember someone checking one of these routers with a Kill-a-Watt, and it wasn't using anything near 65W.Also, surprised for the power consumption, at lease the flagship wifi 7 routers that comes with a 60W (19V/3.16A) power adapter.
How about a rotary phoneI think the only thing it's missing is that RJ-11 port for my fax machine.
Ask them to make one that looks like a sconce so the ladies can set their collectibles on it allowing it to blend in with the decor.@merlin_user123 When you talk to ASUS next time, could you ask them to make a pretty Wifi 7 router, please? Something flat, white that you can hide behind a curtain or mount on the ceiling. Not every Asus customer plays LoL 24/7, some of us have wives too. Mine is allergic to 27 antennas and RGB leds.
FCC made it mandatory for antennas to be non-removable with Wifi 6e, so pretty sure that will carry forward to Wifi 7.and detached antennas
Is there reason for that? Maybe higher gain antenna? Better Signal integrity?FCC made it mandatory for antennas to be non-removable with Wifi 6e, so pretty sure that will carry forward to Wifi 7.
Because if you connect a high gain antenna, you should lower the signal power to stay within maximum output power limits as set be the FCC.Is there reason for that? Maybe higher gain antenna? Better Signal integrity?
