can i go back to 382 from a 384 FW ?
Is the RT-AC3200 even being updated by ASUS?
- Thread starter D3m0nicSoul
- Start date
Depends on the router model and the exact versions. There's been no 384 firmware for the RT-AC3200 however.
Hmm ........... and there's Asus support telling some owners that the AC3200 is definitely going to get AiMesh.
So many different stories from them : it is EOL/not EOL / no more firmware/will get new firmware/ will and won't get AiMesh.
Not a good way to treat customers really.

i'm running 384.6 on y 3200's so here is at least 1 384 foe 3200
You are running a Merlin Frankenbuild 384, it is really 382 code base with improvements.
Frontline tech support don't always have the latest up-to-date information.
What I'm telling you comes from a PM within their networking division. A new firmware is coming.

We are running out of Q4.
Really hope that the new firmware which is due to come (as RMerlin confirmed) supports AiMesh.

I believe RMerlin when he said "Frontline tech support don't always have the latest up-to-date information." We can still hope RT-AC3200 gets AiMesh.
I keep hoping I will win the lottery ..............

This is just one of the big online retailers with the same message.
My nephew runs a business providing systems for small business/home offices , they supply a lot of Asus routers and have been told directly that these models are EOL.
The news Merlin got was a "security release" was coming, nothing more.
Why would Asus be telling retailers these models are finished ? Would they want to turn away customers?

Is it possible to flash the cfe and the image from a ASUS RT-AC1900? Hardware specs looks almost the same, beside the missing second 5GHZ chip. Has somebody tried that already?

I haven't seen any retailer that states EOL or discontinued apart from the links you provided. I'm not saying that you're wrong or anything though.
Here's a random Googled URL (UK) retailer for example; https://www.ebuyer.com/712068-asus-rt-ac3200-tri-band-gigabit-router-rt-ac3200 which as all the other retailers I've searched for indicates that the product is available.
Don't. Hardware is very different, you will kill your router. The radio chip for instance is completely different...
Maybe something else compatible? Even if 3rd radio is disabled after a modification?
No. You just cannot change bootloader to a different model.
I really hope there will be an AiMesh Update for AC-3200, but I have some doubts about.
I wrote yesterday again to ASUS Customer Service, and tell them that I’m very disappointed about. They answered. He understood my concerns, but from a technical point of view, AiMesh is not possible on the AC-3200…….
It isn't going to happen :
