I tried to find answers to this but didn't find anything. Is there a compatible Merlin firmware version for the Asus Zenwifi XT8 routers and nodes? I went to the Merlin website and couldn't find any for these routers.
Thanks
Is there a release???? Merlins main page doesn't list XT8. There is supposedly an Merlon member that has coded a solution but I can't find link. I agree I would like to see this tested before implementing it on my router.Now that Merlin exists for the XT8, what are people's experiences? Looking potentially at switching over, but want to hear from others first.
It`s on my website, under "Forks and Variants":Is there a release???? Merlins main page doesn't list XT8. There is supposedly an Merlon member that has coded a solution but I can't find link. I agree I would like to see this tested before implementing it on my router.
The XT8 firmware is not my release, it`s from Gnuton.Stability????? I'm a noob - I worry about frying my expensive XT8 router. If I chose to install your Merlin version on XT8 - can I recover AsusWRT in a worse case scenario? Thanks for all the hard work BTW. I've read, but never used, Merlin. I'm know trying to get into the more advanced settings on my router - and trying to protect me from prying eyes. I will look at your release. Thanks.
Any updates? Anyone bothered to try this out yet?
OK. After a lot of problems particularly with my IoT devices as well as a few sync issues between my collection of 3 x XT8 devices, I have taken the plunge and installed Merlin.
Asuswrt-Merlin is unlikely to fix your connection issues. Everything Wireless and AiMesh is closed source and comes from Asuswrt. Most of the time the initial more stable and faster impression comes from the fact you have reset your routers to factory default and started fresh.
I have tested it and I am reporting very good results.Test it and see how it goes. Hopefully it works better for you. There was a long thread about finding a good stable AiMesh firmware for XT8.
Boo But thank you for all your hard work.XT8 only. ET8 would require a different firmware.
