Is it possible to install any version of AsusWRT-Merlin on Asus TUF-AX6000 router?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

No, it's not broadcom.

OpenWRT is supported.

You can find the list of Asus Merlin supported routers here:

You can find the list of Gnuton fork of Asus-Merlin supported routers here:

GitHub - gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng: Extends the support of Merlin firmware to more ASUS routers

Extends the support of Merlin firmware to more ASUS routers - gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng

Neither firmware supports the TUF-AX6000.

In addition, make note of the following read me first before posting sticky/tacked subforum post that specifically addresses asking if a router will be supported:

Q: Will you add support for model XYZ?
A: The decision whether or not to support a new model depend on a long list of factors, which may evolve over time. Right now:

- It needs to be Broadcom-based
- It needs to be widely available (not just in two or three countries)
- It needs to have high-end hardware so I don't have to fight with lack of flash or RAM
- It needs to receive frequent enough GPLs so I won't have to regularly skip it due to the GPL being outdated
- I need to have one
- I need to have the time to try supporting it
- I need to have the motivation to try supporting it

Each new model requires its own dedicated support. That means every time I work on a new firmware release, I have to work on each separate model, and I need GPL releases from Asus for each individual model, and I need to merge each of them separately. So that means if I support 10 different routers, then I need to merge in the content of 10 different GPL releases, and these need to be close enough to one another to still be compatible. The more models I support, the harder this is to accomplish, therefore I am VERY conservative regarding adding any new model.

So don't ask if/when a new model will be supported. I cannot speculate about future model support, and until I have working support for a model, I cannot answer that question.

As others indicated, check other third party firmware. One of them may support the TUF-AX6000.

As a heads up the GT-AX6000 is actually cheaper in quite a few places at the moment -and it is supported by Merlin.
