Possibly in the market for a new router

[Mister2088]

Hi all, kinda of a dumb question.
Brief background: I am thinking of getting a AX88U_pro (currently using AX88U) so I can get the 2.5 GB ports so I can get the 1.5 GB speed Rogers has given me. Hence, I am capped at 1 GB with AX88U. I cannot use WAN aggregation as the Rogers XB8 modem (in bridge) does not allow it.

My question is: If I buy the Pro version, after I flash Merlin, can I restore my config from my AX88U backup, or do I need to (should I) build from scratch?

You can do/try anything you like with your new RMerlin-supported Asus router.

But for the most stable, reliable, dependable, and performant network:

• Flash the firmware you want to use (and this applies equally to stock or RMerlin firmware).
• Confirm that the firmware 'took' and you're running the version you expect/want.
• Reset the router using the WPS Button method, the Reset Button method, and also via the GUI (be sure you also check the box to 'Initialize all settings...).
• Now, set up the router Minimally and Manually (i.e. do not use any saved backup config files). Do not plug in any USB drive that you previously used for amtm/scripts (without first formatting it on a PC to NTFS). Do not use any old settings that may have been applicable with your previous router/firmware (i.e. that is the, minimally).

Am I all set to start fresh with the latest stable release? And a request for L&LD...

After creating the checklists two weeks ago to save the pages with settings, I've made all the screenshots (I think at least) of all the relevant guides written by @L&LD and the very useful tip by @netware5. The only thing is, those guides are great, except when you'll be offline at least for a...

Merlin on ASUS ax86U Question

I have an ASUS AX86U and contemplating the installation of Merlin firmware. The DDNS settings on the AX86U are limited to select dns providers. If I install Merlin, will I have more flexability (choices) with the DDNS Settings? Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to buy the RT-AX88U Pro in Australia, or is it specific to a region?

TIA.

Seems like this model is not available in Australia yet.

RT-AX86U Pro firmware - will it get 3.0.0.6?

What is version 3008, by the way? Asuswrt 4.0 was 3.0.0.4, Asuswrt 5.0 was expected to be 3.0.0.6...

Not that I’ve seen.

Not much of an upgrade for you anyway. Your router is a good performer.
