Merlin OpenWrt RT-86U image is compatible with RT-86S?

 

[ColinTaylor]

I can find no reference to the existence of a product called "RT-86S" on the internet. Do you have a link to its product page?

Merlin supported models are listed here:

thanks Colin. i found it:

• RT-AX86U
• RT-AX86S (same firmware as RT-AX86U)

 

[Crimliar]

Which is not the same firmware as the RT-AC86U - different router!

 

[Olndo Pindaro]

Thanks i didn't specify full name RT-AX86(U or S)

Yes. RT-AX86U Asuswrt Merlin is compatible with RT-AX86S. They share the same firmware

Yes. RT-AX86U Asuswrt Merlin is compatible with RT-AX86S. They share the same firmware

This is the correct answer

Merlin OpenWrt RT-86U image is compatible with RT-86S?

Please advise on what a Merlin OpenWrt RT-86U image is? Did @RMerlin start a side gig?

Hey gang. First post question. Why are some members so intentionally obtuse when a poster doesn't correctly specify something? The only 86s/86u routers that might possibly share a firmware, and are most commonly asked about together in this forum, are AX and I think they know that. Just seems petty, annoying and discouraging. Excellent information from the Senior members.

Because it’s important to get it right.

They lost me at Merlin OpenWrt. I had to go double check OpenWrt website. I have been scratching my head for weeks on this one. I am still perplexed. I hope @Olndo Pindaro can elaborate better.

Agreed. I found several references to RT-86S on the internet. They were all either a bicycle brake rotor or an Asus AX Router. Coincidentally I also found the Merlin router compatibility list. You guys must get so many redundant questions here.

I deduced @Olndo Pindaro might have a first language other than English and did his best.

Agree

I didn't come to this same conclusion because English was not my first language. Although, I am currently a Floridaman ironically.

Always nice to meet a fellow Floridaman!

it was quite obvious what the OP was trying to ask. Why do some of you guys have to be "dicks" about it.

Or the OP could have took alittle bit of extra time to ensure they are not sending other users who might be much like them on a wild goose chase. I think that is more of the point. Especially if they expect their question to be adequately answered.
