and the AC86U, alsoToday, the RT-AX58U, RT-AC86U, RT-AX88U, and RT-AC86U are the only rational choices.
Post above from @L&LD is exactly correct ... but here's an interesting thing ...Random question - my RT-AX82U has been running on firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_41700 for quite a while now, possibly ever since i bought it in January. Does this mean that the transition to the 386 codebase from Asus has now happened? Maybe Merlin support for this model now.... possbibly, maybe..... pls?
Asuswrt firmwares are model-specific. You cannot run a firmware for one model on a different one.so although his firmware will NOT run "as is" on your RT-AX82U - there may be a work-around at some point in the future?
Isn't RT-AC2900 "same as" RT-AC86U, yet we still got merlin for it, but i guess that's just marketing "rename", 82u isn't just a rename of the router.Asuswrt firmwares are model-specific. You cannot run a firmware for one model on a different one.
