Hello, according to I have read asus has no thought of continuing with the support for this model. If it is haci it seems a shame to me.

Regards!!!

There is no evidence from ASUS that they are still continuing the development on this router (last official update is from 2017/07/06).
To me that is a clear sign that development has been stopped, just not openly communicated so therefore, I have replaced mine with a AC86U.

It's also (currently) not on the list of routers that they are including in the AIMesh, which is another sign of no longer developing software for this router.

If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath for this one any longer.

However, ASUS Security Advisor claims the latest Ac87U firmware was released 2017-12-30 - https://www.asus.com/Static_WebPage...641.812253906.1516236342-822356756.1516236342

Still, AC87U downloads page has no link to this firmware

Either the page is wrong or Asus forgot to upload it, give them a nudge?

Where did you get this link? since it is not on the official page of asus.

I submitted a case to Asus a couple of weeks ago asking 2 questions. Firstly would they be providing a firmware update based on the 384 code, and secondly would they be supporting AiMesh.
Apart from the automated e-mail response saying they would aim to get back to me in 48 hours I've heard nothing from them.

Wow, this looks extremely promising.

Thorton,
Have you checked it works ?

 

[Thorton]

Downloaded it, but I'm a bit afraid to flash

 

[elnash]

Unloaded and flaseado in my 87u, working without problems. My question is this is a beta version ????

The URL includes "TO_TEST" so I would assume its definitely not a release ready version.

OK, have Merlin know something about it.

OK, have Merlin know something about it.

All I know is that 382_3xxx don't have AiMesh, and 384_1xxx have it.

Downloaded and testing it... seems to be working

EDIT: Media server, not working

RMerlin,

Wow, this looks extremely promising.

I can't seem to d/l as a file....... any advice?

RMerlin,
when your version 382 ?

I don't know, since Asus has not released anything yet. No GPL, no support from me.
