Merlin on RT-AX58U V2

[Bojovnik]

Hi,

Will there ever be development to add the RT-AX58U V2 to the Merlin firmware?

If not, does anyone know any custom firmware that works with V2?

Cheers,
B.

Hi,
Yes, I did read the FAQ before I posted this question.
Post#3 in the FAQ shows my question to be valid.

1. RT-AX58U is not a new router. It has been around for two years and V1 is already supported.
The Merlin wiki doesn't specify that only V1 is supported.

• RT-AX58U
• RT-AX3000 (use the RT-AX58U firmware)

2. It is widely available at the least in North America and Europe
3. It has a Broadcom chip
4. Asus regularly updates the firmware
5. Other routers have multiple versions supported

These are all reasons to argue for it to be supported.
However, I realize that other factors come into play as Merlin specifies in the FAQ (e.g. Time, motivation, etc.)

I am simply asking that if referring to my points above, is it planned in future developments or No.

Not at this time.

How do you identify v1 vs v2 on AX58U?

 

[L&LD]

Asus AX3000 reboots every few minutes, only in the morning

I bought a new ASUS AX3000 (RT-AX58U V2) in January of this year, 2022. It has worked without any problems until Wednesday of last week. Since Wednesday last week the router is constantly rebooting every few minutes from 06.00 until around 09.00 in the morning. After around 08.30/09.00 it...

How do you identify v1 vs v2 on AX58U?

Only from the back side of the router. I also ordered this router online and there was no additional information that it is V2!
So no chance to put the Merlin firmware.

Sorry for this, but: do you have any changes about ax58u v2 support?

He doesn't. RMerlin repeated this only a few days ago in another thread here.

Hi all,

hope this is not a stupid question, but as I still see the restriction to V1 of the RT-AX58U in the wiki... has anyone any news on V2 support?

I could perfectly live with the Asus stock firmware, however I just now exceeded the DHCP fix IP assignments of 64 machines.
Usually the Merlin firmwares had this limitation set much higher, i.e. to 128 on my old AC68U.

If anyone knows how to overcome this limit in the stock firmware, would also help me a lot,

Thanks
Andi

The gnuton firmware supports this model.

@ColinTaylor Oh, I overlooked that. Awesome news, many thanks! Worth giving a try I guess.
